5 Ways to Get the Most Out of CertaPro’s® Painting Services
Posted on February 28, 2022
If you’re interested in hiring CertaPro to perform some house painting for you, you’re in luck. CertaPro makes scheduling an appointment, scheduling services, and completing the project easy. However, there are a few things you can do as a homeowner to maximize the results, while minimizing the cost. Today, we will suggest a few ways to get the most from hiring CertaPro as your paint company.
You’ll Get an Itemized Estimate
CertaPro is one of the largest painting contractors in the world, so you know exactly what you are buying. CertaPro will always provide you with a detailed, itemized list of everything the project will entail, along with the price. This way you know precisely what the end result will be, allowing you to make a more informed decision.
Don’t Wait For Damage to Occur Before Painting
Approximately two thirds of the expense in a CertaPro painting project pays for the labor. When you hire CertaPro, you are hiring expert painters. These professionals spend over half of their time preparing the home for painting to ensure a quality job. To keep costs down don’t wait until the siding is rotting, or the window frames are falling apart. All of these repairs must be made before any painting can begin, so the less the pros have to do in preparation, the less expensive the project will be.
Paint In the Off Season
Painting in winter is actually a smart move. Most paint companies slow down in winter, freeing up space in their calendar. Homeowners that hire CertaPro during this off season often get faster scheduling and faster completions. It’s also much easier to get the appointment you want in winter, so scheduling your project over a vacation week for example is often possible.
Adjust the Scope of the Project
If your project is beyond your reach financially, consider adjusting the scope of the project. This can be as simple as painting the interior one year and following it with exterior paint the next year. CertaPro is happy to work with you as needed to break the project into phases that are more easily financed. In fact, your CertaPro account manager will be happy to help you strategically plan your project to ease the financial burden.
Do Some Prep Work Yourself
As mentioned earlier, the prep work required for many homes is substantial. As a homeowner, if you have a few skills of your own, consider making a few repairs before calling for an appointment. Your estimate will be based on the condition of the home at the time the estimate is given, so if fewer repairs are required the costs will be less. CertaPro will do their best to make your repair look good, so make sure you do the same.
