Hire the Right Northwest Florida Professionals to Avoid these Common Home Painting Problems

When a Northwest Florida property owner decides to paint the exterior or interior of their residence, it comes with the task of choosing a professional painting company of solid reputation, good value, and experienced pros. Troubleshooting typical problems ahead of time will save considerable frustration and ensure the job is completed to satisfaction.

Common Problems Before, During, and After the Painting Project:

1. Poor Communication– A reliable and expert company will inform you of the start date and an estimate of the completion and will state the brand and type of paint in the contract. When you reach out, they should respond promptly, no later than 24 hours afterward. You should be updated on how the project goes along the way and always give notice before crews show up.
2. Cheap (unrealistically cheap)- You will likely want to find a good value. However, if the price seems too good to be true, the work will often be shoddy. A company to lower the price unrealistically will be cutting costs somewhere, either by using inferior paint products, taking shortcuts like little or no prep work, or doing a poor cleanup job. Cutting corners with prep work will result in drips and uneven lines, blistering, flaking, bleeding and staining, chalking, and other poor quality. Without proper sanding, priming, taping off molding, etc., your painting project will look unsightly, and you will not be satisfied. You get what you pay for.
3. Inexperienced, poorly trained painters– You can ask how much experience they have and how they were trained.
4. Not licensed or insured– This will let you know the company hires painters trained to use the equipment safely. Insurance such as liability and worker’s compensation gives you the peace of mind that if an accident did occur with a painter, you are not responsible.
5. No warranty- If a company does not offer a warranty, it signals that they may not honor their work; it could be a scam or a fly-by-night company. Always look for a business that has been servicing your area for a substantial amount of time.
6. Few or poor reviews– Check social media and read reviews. What do people that hired this company have to say about communication, prep work, quality, and clean-up?
