An excellent paint job creates a pleasant atmosphere. Plus, when your painter uses high quality, low odor and zero VOC paint, your home will be safer for your family.
Ask these questions before you hire your next painting professional to make sure you are hiring the right team for the job.
Do you complete the work yourself or use sub contractors?
As you begin renovations on your home, you will begin to build relationships with each of your contractors. A painting company who completes all the work with in-house employees is a company you can trust.
Some painters sub out the work to other contractors. While some subcontractors are fantastic, others may be more challenging to work with. You don’t know their skill level or work ethic.
At The House Painters, each of our painters have gone through background checks and extensive training. Even when you aren’t home, we treat your home with the utmost respect and safety.
Do you offer training for your employees?
Another benefit to hiring painters who use in-house employees is that they will be very invested in the training process. These painting companies will provide safety training, product knowledge, and painting skills for each of their employees.
Plus, great painting companies will also implement ongoing industry training. That way, each of their employees stays up to date on the latest painting techniques and product knowledge.
When you hire a painting company who is invested in advancing the skills of their painters, the service you receive will be consistent.
Are you licensed and insured?
This question cannot be stressed enough. Homeowners tend to skip this question but proper licensing guarantees that you are working with a legitimate company. It also means that you are investing in a reputable business that cares about your safety, and the safety of their employees.
Insurance protects your home and family in case of any accidents. It also protects you in the event that a painter is injured on your property. Verify that your Melbourne painters has invested in both liability insurance and Worker’s Compensation insurance.
What is your preparation process?
Excellent painting does not start when the paint goes on the wall. It actually starts during the preparation process!
Your house painter will be willing to discuss their surface preparation methods. This should include various levels of cleaning, repairing damage, sanding, and priming. At this time, you can also ask how many coats of paint they will add to the walls.
Do you offer a guarantee?
A quality home painting company will stand behind their services. Many painters offer some kind of guarantee, but not all are comparable. Be cautious of a “materials only” guarantee, as this offers very little protection for the homeowner.
A quality painting company is proud of their craftsmanship, and stands behind the quality of their work with a solid guarantee.
