Getting the best paint job for a home usually means choosing the right painters. As with any product or service, not all companies are the same. Understanding what to look for when choosing a House Painter in Tacoma WA will make the decision of which painter to choose a little bit simpler.
Get Multiple Quotes
It’s usually in your best interest not to select the first painter on the list of those available in the area and hire them. Get at least three different quotes before choosing a House Painter in Tacoma WA. If any one of the quotes obtained is a lot higher or a lot lower than the others, it would be good to check and see what services the lower-priced painters aren’t offering. You get what you pay for, so be careful before hiring a painter with a very low quote compared to the other options.
Be Specific
The more specific a homeowner is in describing the job, including whether ceilings, trim and moldings need to be painted and whether they’re looking for a specific type, color or finish of paint to be used, the more accurate the quote from the painter is likely to be. It’s best if the painters actually come to the house before giving a quote so they can see for themselves what the job entails.
Ask Questions
Find out as much as possible about the painter before hiring them. Good things to ask include how long the painter has been in business, whether they have insurance and bonding, whether they belong to any professional associations, whether they have any licenses required by the state, what type of guarantees they offer and whether they can provide a few references the homeowner can contact to find out more about the quality of their work. These answers and the way the painter acts during the interview will make it clearer which of the available painters a homeowner is more comfortable with and which is likely to do the better job.
Get a Written Contract
Make sure to get a contract before hiring anyone that gives all details of the job. This includes the products to be used, an exact description of the job, which paint colors and brands are to be used, the timing of the project, payment details and preparation and cleanup details.
