I can remember fondly the day I got some mates around to paint out my flat. The mandatory two cases of beer was bought to keep the troops going and before you know we all paint cans out and all parts of your flat were being painter in joyful; just get it done manner. The day wore on and the beers started to dwindle and finally my flat was looking pretty fresh. Or so I thought.For the first few days my new flat seemed nicely painted and was quite proud of what me and the boys had done. A few days later I went to turn on the light in the cupboard on the realized it has been painted over and now rendered completely stuck. I thought well one causality of a good days work is not too bad. I can live with that. That is until I tried to open the windows in Kitchen. Stuck! Paint in the mechanism and paint in between the window frame. It is then that I vowed I would leave painting to the professionals who have the experience to take care with their work and get the job done quickly. I figure this way I can still have a beer on the couch and get the paint job done.
Tips to finding the right painter for you job.
- When I enquire about the price I like to have itemised what that price actually includes. If it includes sanding, filling holes with plaster, taping windows, clean up, the cost of paint etc. Occasionally I will complete or provide some of these jobs myself, and then I can make a deal with the painter to deduct them job the final price.
- I like to think that when employing most local business for a service that you need you want atleast 4-5 quotes before making your decision. Remember just because someone gives you a high quote doesn't mean they provide a quality service. Often they are simply so busy at the time that they cant justify doing your job for any cheaper.
Till next time. Jeff!
