How to get the job done right with Professional Painters: I usually try
to handle most home improvement jobs myself in order to save time and
money. I can replace torn window screens or patch up small holes in the
drywall with no problem, and I can also climb on the roof to clean out
the gutters whenever necessary. I thought I'd be able to paint the place
too, but it didn't take long for me to realize I was in way over my
head. Painting an entire house is not a one-person job, that's for sure!
Once I accepted the fact that I had neither the time nor the skill to
handle the project on my own, I decided to call in a crew of
professional painters.
I always get lots of fliers from
professional painters, so I just pulled out a few of them and made some
calls. Each company offered me a free written estimate, and guaranteed
that they wouldn't charge any more than they put in the quote. I was
therefore able to compare prices, as well as time frames for how long it
would take to complete the job. Since I wasn't in a hurry, I carefully
checked out these professional painters by asking for references and
portfolios of past work.
Although many of the quotes I received
were affordable, I felt I could talk the prices down. This is usually
possible when dealing with freelance professional painters that don't
work for a company. Independent painting contractors
are more willing to negotiate a discount in order to keep your
business, so getting an extra 5 or 10 percent off is not that difficult
as long as I ask. Plus, I had estimates from several professional
painters, so if one crew told me to go take a hike, I could simply move
onto the next one.
Anyway, once I finally settled on a team, all I
had to do was sit back and watch them go to work. They took excellent
care of my yard, placing drop cloths over every shrub and bush that
might conceivably be in the way of potential spills, and they were also
very careful with window trims and door frames. The professional painters
finished the exterior of my home in record time, and the results were
stunning! In fact, they were so good that I'm now considering hiring
them to touch up some of my interior rooms as well.
I know that
most people think they can handle something like painting a house on
their own in order to save a few bucks on labor costs, but why risk
making a mess of things? Sometimes it's better to call in the pros and
let them use their expertise to make sure everything is done right the
first time. Believe me, professional painters can paint your home a lot more quickly and competently than you can!
