Five Tips For Potential Customers

Running a painting business in Northern Virginia has distinct advantages. It’s a highly populated area which means greater potential for business. This area tends to attract a discerning clientele willing to ask questions and expect a higher standard of service. We are all too happy to deliver. Our reputation for excellence has helped us build our business.

Here are five important items to consider between the time you call us and our meeting with you to assess your project. These will help us in developing our estimate.

  1. It’s important to have the decision maker (or makers) there when we come to evaluate the project for an estimate. When we get out to meet with you, we will have some questions for you. The answers you provide will likely affect our evaluation. It saves everyone time if the person needing to make the decisions (and who knows about the project) is present. It allows us to be more efficient on your behalf.
  2. Before we come for our assessment, it’s important that you know the scope of the project. If we are painting, how many rooms do you want us to paint? Are we painting doors, trim, and ceilings as well? Are we also painting the closets?
  3. Do a walk-through of your space and take notes that we can discuss during our meeting. The more we know what your needs or vision are, the better.
  4. Do you know what sheen you would like on your walls? We can discuss this during our meeting. (You can refer to our previous post on this topic.)
  5. Do you know the color you want or will you need to meet with our color consultant for a one-hour complimentary consultation?

If you have a painting project in your Northern Virginia and would like an estimate, please contact us today to schedule a meeting. We would enjoy evaluating your painting needs and providing a free, no-obligation estimate.

FAQ

1. 

When selecting a painting contractor, consider their experience, reputation, licensing, and insurance. Ask for references and review their portfolio to ensure their style matches your preferences.

2. 

Clear the work area of furniture and personal items, remove wall decorations, and cover floors if needed. Communicate with the painters about any special instructions or areas of concern.

3. 

Ask about the types of paint they use, the number of coats included, the prep work involved, the estimated timeline, and whether the quote is all-inclusive or if there may be additional charges.

4. 

Choose high-quality paints and finishes, ensure proper surface preparation, and follow the contractor’s maintenance recommendations. Regular cleaning and touch-ups can help maintain the appearance.

5. 

Communicate your concerns clearly and promptly with the contractor. Reputable companies will address issues and work to resolve them to your satisfaction, often including a warranty or satisfaction guarantee.
