Not all house-painting companies are the same. There are many people out there who think running a professional painting business is a simple matter of picking up a brush and adding a new fresh coat of paint. Unfortunately, homeowners who hire these people are often left dissatisfied with the results, as well as with the lack of professionalism.
Just like hiring any contractor, a professional painter should be prepared to show his clients documentation demonstrating that the company is fully licensed, insured and bonded. These factors are a means of protecting the client in terms of theft, or if an unreliable contractor disappears after accepting a down payment.
Getting your house painted should be a fun time as it is a great way of refreshing the appearance of your home with minimal investment. A full service painting company can take care of both the exterior and interior of the home.
When having the exterior of the home painted, the following steps are followed:
-
Wash – the exterior of the home will need to be washed prior to painting in order to get rid of mildew, mold or other types of dirt
-
Surface Preparation – old paint tends to peel so it is important to have the surface properly sanded before paint application. Furthermore, gaps and cracks must be filled in so as to prevent water from intruding
-
Paint – Once all surfaces are primed, the quality paint is applied professionally to the exterior of the home.
-
Clean Up – No matter how long the job takes, clean up will be done each day so as to maintain the appearance and the safety of the property
-
Inspection – Once the job has been completed, the painters will inspect it and then the homeowners will be able to inspect the job to make sure it has been completed effectively.
Professionalism also comes in the form of how safety concerns are handled. In order to protect clients from liability, it is important to ensure the contractors you hire to paint your house all carry worker’s compensation. Safety is of utmost importance in any type of contracting work and the majority of homeowners don’t know that they can be held responsible if a worker is injured on their property if they do not carry worker’s compensation.
A professional company will have house painters who:
-
Are OSHA compliant
-
Have uniformed employees
-
Make sure their painters conduct in-house safety programs
-
Will respect privacy and will only go to areas of the house that need to be painted
-
Conduct daily clean ups and inspections
