Tips on Hiring an Interior Painting Company
Interior painting projects bring a crew to the inside of your home, it can be a stressful process for a homeowner. We work to make interior painting projects as easy as possible, and to make our customers feel comfortable that they made the right decision when deciding on who to hire. When you are getting estimates from contractors, here’s a few items to keep in mind when evaluating who to hire.
Estimates
Cost is one of the most important factors to our customers when evaluating contractors. Keep in mind the lowest cost is not always the best option, cost should be a factor but it shouldn’t be the only one. Free estimates are common in the industry. Typically, an estimator will meet with you and take measurements, discuss any repairs and get a feel for the entire project. Afterward, you’ll receive an itemized list of products and services offered with the contract.
Project Communications
Since most interior painter crews will need more than one day to complete their work, it’s important to establish the communication expectations at the onset. In some cases, you may hear daily updates via call after work. In others, the project manager might be on site to give milestone updates as the crew works.
Color Help
Color selection can sometimes be the hardest part of the project for our customers. If you feel like you could benefit from color recommendations, see if the company offers color consulting as part of the project. Some professional painting companies have on staff color consultants. They will work within your home’s color scheme and help you choose a perfect color for the room.
Repairs
Likely, your project will need some repairs before the paint is applied. Ask if your crew can repair dings and cracks. Is it included in your estimate?
Reviews
When looking for rewiews, check websites where users can log in and leave reviews, rather than taking a curated set of reviews from the contractor. Google Reviews, and Home Advisor are good places to start when comparing reviews. There are free sites for you to search in addition to what they provide you.
