Hello Spring! |
|
|
The sun is shining! The snow is gone! The world is alive again as spring comes forth. This is the time of year when thousands of area homeowners begin their quest for someone to complete the exterior painting on their home. I would like to provide a few tips when selecting someone to paint the exterior of your home.
1. Choose a company that hires and trains their own employees. Many painting companies hire sub-contractors to work on your home. This sometimes results in inconsistent quality, poor scheduling practices and uncertainty of the types of people they are putting in your home. Hire a company that background checks, trains and cares for their employees. It may cost a bit more, but you will have happy people doing high quality work on your home.
2. Decide to have a GREAT EXPERIENCE with your painting contractor. Do they answer the phone at the office and respond to your needs quickly? Are they on time for the estimate? Do they help consult you on the best materials and practices for your individual project or are they more of an 'order taker' leaving you with a price? Ask them what they are currently doing to be better each day? It is your right to enjoy the repainting of your home. Don't settle for anything less than first rate service.
3. Do a lot of homework before going with a
lower cost contractor. It is expensive to run a good business in town.
The cheap companies won't last long. A value customer wants a company
to stand behind their work for years and be around if a problem
surfaces. Huge gaps in pricing usually mean that one company is choosing to use less skilled labor, cheaper materials or choosing not to run 'above the table.'
The selection process can sometimes feel like a roll of the dice. By taking some time to ask some great questions you can quickly discover who the best fit will be for your project. Good luck and
HAPPY SPRING!
