Redmond House Painters And How To Find The Right One For You

Your house is your most valuable possession, and so its important that any work thats

done on it is done right, and will still look good years from now. Doing it yourself can be a way to save money, but unless you have an experienced painter to help you it is a good idea to hire a professional to come in and make sure its done properly. Before you go out and hire someone, here are a few important rules to keep in mind.

The first step to make is to decide which areas of your home need painted. One important thing that will play into this, are there any simple home improvements that need to be done before paint can go on? Molding repair, replacing or patching damaged drywall, or doors that need replacing are all things to be paid attention to.

The next thing to do is to decide which paints and colors you want on your home. You can get samples from most home improvement stores and paint shops, and the contractor you choose will also have suggestions, take these suggestions into account.

Now the real fun begins time to start getting bids. Asking friends, neighbors and painting stores for recommendations can be a good way to get your list together of companies to call. The yellow pages used to be a decent place to look, but now with all the online review sites its better to check angies list or yelp.com instead. Go to www.housepaintingredmond.com for more ideas on how to find the right painter online.

Now comes the part where you collect the quotes. One really important thing to keep in mind, is to make sure theyre quoting on the same specs for the job. Make sure theyll all bidding on the same areas to paint, the same number of coats, etc. Always get at least two or three bids, and look for an average. If one has an unusually low bid, be suspicious. Now that youve chosen your favorite painting contractor, its time to ask for references and make some calls. Were their past customers happy with the work? Did the work still look good five years later? Was it finished in a reasonable amount of time? Angies list can speed up this process, but its still not a bad idea to make at least one phone call to a past customer.

Once youre done with your due diligence and youve chosen the contractor with the price and track record you like, its time to get together and draw up a contract. It doesnt have to be too complicated, but make sure you get the details of the job down in writing. What day will they start? When are they going to be done? What is the payment schedule and how much exactly will it cost? Make sure the contract includes the paint brands and colors to be used in each location, as well as the number of coats. One important thing to remember, make sure the contract specifies that the painter is responsible for cleanup and the removal of paint from all surfaces (windows, floors).

Before the painter comes, get all the furniture out of the room to leave room for them to work. Anything that cant be taken out of the room should be moved to the center, and covered with drop cloths to keep them from getting damaged.
