When the time comes to paint the home, it can be a stressful time. Nobody wants to do it themselves and hiring a company to do it can lead to questioning who is legitimate and who is not. Here are some tips from the experts to help hiring painters in Long Beach a much easier task.
Don’t Call Just One
When trying to decide who to hire to paint the home, don’t call only one company. Experts recommend contacting at least the companies before a decision is made. This way the homeowner can get a feel for who is out there and match themselves with people they feel comfortable with. The homeowner can also gauge how realistic the estimate offered is by noting how long the painter takes to look around the home. Even the most experienced painters need more than a rushed walk around the property to properly determine what the cost and time will be.
Tell Them What Is Wanted
Some homeowners want more than just a few coats of paint slapped over the previous paint job. Some may want the previous paint job completely removed first. While the paint crew will not mind doing this as it will be an added cost, they need to be informed of this desire before the final estimate is tallied. This should be done with each painter contacted so estimates can be compared side by side with each other.
Ask About Guarantees
A low-priced estimate means nothing if the work is shoddy and it must be done over again. Ask each painter contacted about if and how they guarantee their work. If painters in Long Beach are not willing to guarantee their work, they are not worth doing business with. Some shady painters may try and get away with saying the paint itself is guaranteed but that does not include the cost of labor to re-apply it. Labor is far more expensive than even the costliest of paints.
