The most important step in hiring a residential painter is the one you made when you decided not to paint your home yourself. Getting that step out of the way is simple, finding the right painter is something else altogether different. Residential painting in San Antonio takes a lot more than simply applying paint, you owe it to yourself to ensure that you get a painter that knows exactly what must be done to end up with perfect results.
* Multiple quotes: Get quotes from at least three painters. Develop a specification that includes detail such as wall heights, any issues with access or any other details that will influence the price. If you plan on specifying a special paint then let the candidates know what it is.
* First meeting: If a painter wishes to give you a price over the phone, move on, this guy is not serious. A professional will always visit the site, in this case your home. A site visit is important for the painter as it is for you; he can see exactly what must be done and you get a feel for how it would be having him working around the house. If you seem to communicate well, this indicates that they are a good fit.
* Compare the prices: When you sit and compare the quotes itemize that work that each painter proposes. Residential painting in San Antonio can include a number of factors, you want to know that you are comparing apples with apples. Did everyone include surface prep, did they include the special paint you asked for, what about clean up when the job is done? These are the types of questions that are important to get answers to.
Remember that the price is only part of the equation. Make it your business to contact previous clients, find out what their general impression is and would they use the painter for future projects. Then and only then can you choose the painter that you know will give you a great job.
