4 Steps to Choosing the right Interior Painting Company

Choosing the right interior painting contractor for the job can alleviate the stress and worry involved with such a large project. From selecting the best quality paint and the perfect color, to preparing your home’s interior surfaces, the right professional painter can complete your project and achieve the results you desire. If you’ve never hired a professional painting service before, the following 4 steps will ensure you hire the right one for your project:

 

Step #1: First and foremost, do your research. Adequate research is the key to finding the right painter for your interior painting project. This research can involve something as simple as asking family members and/or friends for referrals to searching the internet. Be sure you check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) web site for their rating and read the customer feedback or testimonials at the company website. Make sure the ones you research are fully insured, highly experienced, and properly credentialed before making your decision.

 

Step #2: Interview several painters and request estimates. Call several painting contractors to schedule a walk-through of your home and a free estimate of the job. Be sure to interview each one to determine who will be the right fit for your interior painting project. They should be able to demonstrate their painting savvy and their knowledge of the materials and paints that will be used. Furthermore, they should be able to tell you what it will be like working with them as well.

 

Step #3: Make sure you ask the right questions. There are plenty of painting services that claim to be good but not all of them offer the same level of professionalism and quality as others. Make a list of questions prior to each interview including:

• are daily status updates provided
• brands of paints used and why they use them
• can they provide references from past jobs
• number of homes they paint annually
• the expected timeline of your project

 

One of the primary reasons homeowners are dissatisfied with their interior painting results is because they failed to ask each painting candidate the questions that would help them qualify or disqualify them for their project.

 

Step #4: Make your final decision. Compare the cost estimates and the notes you took during each candidate interview prior to making your final decision. Be sure you choose a contractor who is knowledgeable, prepared, professional, and punctual. Most importantly, always go with your gut feeling when choosing a painting contractor. If something doesn’t feel right or feels off, move on the next candidate.
