Tips for Choosing a Residential Painter
Homeowners assume that house painting is easy and doesn’t require much thought when picking a company to do the job. However, like any home improvement task, exterior and interior painting is an acquired skill – if you want it done right.
Sure, anyone can come over and cover your walls with paint, but in order to ensure it is done properly, consider these tips when choosing a painter for your home.
Reputation
A painting company that has been in business for some period of time will build up a certain reputation. Some will be known for prompt and professional work, while others will have garnered bad reviews for cutting corners and sloppy prep work. Do your due diligence and seek out as much information as you can about the painters you are considering and be sure to check online reviews to see what others have to say about their experience.
Experience
The more experience a painter has, the better. It’s nice to give newcomers a chance, but when it comes to painting a complete home exterior or interior, you really need to choose the most qualified company. Again, research the companies as best you can, find out when they started and the experience level of their staff.
