Deciding to paint your home’s interior is exciting! Even if you’re only doing one or two rooms, picking the colors, redecorating to match the new shades and coming home to a new tone in your home are all really fun and refreshing. If you’ve decided to paint the rooms yourself, you have your work cut out for you.
If you’ve decided to hire a professional, choosing the right one is probably the most important choice you’ll make during this process. Even if you have the most beautiful shade picked out, the wrong painters can derail the entire project. In some ways, choosing a good company to paint the inside of your house is much easier than choosing one to paint, for instance, an office building. Most painting companies have the experience needed to paint interiors good enough. However, on the other hand, this means you have many more to choose from. You don’t want to settle for a company that can make your walls look “good enough”. You’ll be looking at the results of this project every day. You want to get the best people for the job. Here are some things to check before you make a final decision.
Online Reviews
One of the great things about the internet is online reviews. Before this was an established method of reviewing companies, the only ways you had of checking a company out is by word of mouth, or the company itself. Companies might have a few references and examples of their past work, which can be good to look at since they’re an example of the standards you should hold for them. However, real unbiased opinions and photos online are a great way of getting honest feedback on how it was to work with the company.
Experience With Similar Projects
As I said before, most painting companies have experience painting the inside of houses. It’s still important to make sure that if you have any special characteristics about the walls, such as a unique texture, or the walls are up very high, the company has worked in similar situations before. Ask them about this during their consultation walk through. If they’ve never dealt with projects similar to yours, you might want to keep looking,
Customer Service
Something that is often overlooked by people choosing a painting company is customer service. Painting companies should be able to conduct themselves professionally. In fact, this should be one of the top priorities of any good company. If you look past some unprofessional mannerisms during your “interviewing” stage of the process, you might be left with a mess after the project is complete. A good test of this is to ask about a guarantee that you’ll be happy with the job. It’s also very important to establish that guarantee before you start the project. Any reputable company will be happy to promise your satisfaction with the job.
