You noticed that your home is looking a little Worn down and ugly.
It needs some paint to look brand new , clean and just right. Do you you want to sell your house and in order to sell your real estate agent suggests that you need painting done on the interior or exterior of your house. As a painting contractor, I can share a few tips to help you get the best return on your house painting budget.
When was the last time you painted?
If, it was too long ago. Thats bad. Houses need regular attention to look their best. Old peeling, cracking paint will let moisture into your home, resulting in hidden damage such as mold, mildew, dry rot and water damage. Paint is designed to protect your home from the elements and inclement weather (humid climate is especially harsh on wood), but it can fail after time.
I recommend that you repaint your home on a regular basis and it will cost you less in repair bills. If you haven't painted in many years, you may find that you will have to pay the contractor to scrape, sand, caulk and prime before he can even get started on the actual paint job. Painting every few years will maintain the protective barrier that keeps your home looking well-kept.
We Give Good good quality
You wouldnt do that to your car wich is worth 1/10th of what your car is worth and you would not let your floors rot protect your home. Think of the paint as "Barrier", and quality paint equals higher protection for your house. Moisture and salt in the air contribute to faster paint deterioration especially if you live at the shore line, so make sure you buy paint that is specifically formulated for your climate, otherwise you will just waste your money.For Exterior i use Duration lifetime warranty by sherwin williams it costs more but you get what you pay for using cheap quality paint can make a difference of repainting every other year or repainting every 7-10 years some homes with proper powerwashin maintenace every 2 yrs will last up to 15
Another thing I want to emphasize is that a quality contractor should also be high on your list. The law in many states requires all house painting contractors to have a license and insurance for your protection.
You want someone that you can trust to get the job done at a fair price and in the time specified. A quality contractor will provide a detailed bid and will keep you informed of when they will arrive, who will be doing the work and what to expect. They will also let you know immediately if they run into any problems or issues. Choosing a contractor solely on price may result in a poor job that you have to pay someone else to correct.
Flexibility is the key
If you are flexible as to when you need the work done, it is quite possible that you can schedule the work to be done during the contractor's slow season.
Coordination of work
Here's a money-saving opportunity I often mention to my customers: if you are able to schedule both the interior and exterior painting to be done at the same time, you may get a significant savings. The contractor will only have to bring his equipment and the crew one time to the job site Painting contractors can then plan Their work accordingly.
Also, ask if they offer discounts for referrals or for multiple jobs in the same neighborhood. You may be able to entice a neighbor to have their house painted too if the contractor will discount the price on both.
Getting ready for the contractor
Professional painting contractors like me usually include in their quote the following: moving furniture, removing pictures and other wall decor, taking down curtains and blinds as well as putting it all back in place. By doing this part of the job yourself, you will save money. Ask the contractor to give you a second bid without this service. Compare and decide if you are willing to take this on yourself.
The winter months are a great time to have interior painting done, while exterior painting can be less expensive during the months of March and November. And, as you might expect, scheduling the work to be done around the major holidays or anytime in the month of August can result in a lower price.
Let the contractor know you are flexible and ask them about discounts. If the contractor can fit your job in between others in the same area, he may be more apt to give you a discount.
Coordination of work
Here's a money-saving opportunity I often mention to my customers: if you are able to schedule both the interior and exterior painting to be done at the same time, you may realize significant savings. The contractor will only have to bring his equipment once and the crew will report to the same place until the job is done. There is a guarantee of a certain amount of work and the contractor can plan his work accordingly.
