Deciding whether to paint the exterior or interior of your home yourself or employ a home painting contractor is a hard choice. Whilst doing it yourself is cheap, it is time consuming and will eat into your leisure time, or indicate that you have to sacrifice vacations or wages. Painting is one of those chores that appears to be simple, but often results in patchy walls and streaky doors. Contractors will do the job very fast, and will finish the job speedily, causing a minimum of disruption and ensuring professional quality. It is always tempting to employ the contractor with the flashiest adverts, or a large sprawling website, but that is no guarantee of high quality service. Often, small contractors are just as keenly priced, and they cannot afford to absorb the bad credibility that comes with poor quality jobs. Many painters are happy to provide references from past customers, and there is certainly no harm in following up with a quick phone call or e-mail.
A good home painting contractor will be prompt and courteous, showing up on moment and never sounding vague or unsure. When they offer a quote, do not be afraid to ask for a breakdown and enquire how accurate this estimate is. Unscrupulous contractors have been known to rack up the last bill.
