How to choose a professional painter.

With all the tips I have being sharing, you should be in the process of creating your dream space or considering it. You need to engage a professional to bring your ideas to life. Deciding on a professional painter can be a daunting task.



Below are steps you need to hire a professional.

1.Ask for recommendations from friends and family: Ask questions like
- The painter's charges
- Was the job properly done
- If there was an issue and was it rectified immediately

2.Most paint companies have their professional painters like Dulux. You can ask for their charges too. If affordable worth the stress.

3.After deciding on your preferred painter, call them up and book an appointment.  Note the following
- Did the painter keep to time
-Did he get a clear understanding of what you want
-Request for a color chart
- You can ask them questions like the kind of finish they would use for a high traffic area or treatments for a damp wall, just to know how knowledgeable they are.

4. If satisfied, request for a written quote with details of quantity of paint, type of paint, areas to be painted and workmanship.A written quote is a must because a verbal quote can be conflicting.

5. Ask for guarantee, that the job will be well done.

6. For large jobs or contracts, please ask for references. Just to have an idea the companies he has worked with, so you don't get into a mess.

7.Get at least 3 different quotes before you make a decision.

Good luck!!!!
