Getting the exterior of your house repainted is a great way to revive your property's curb appeal. However, you want to ensure that you hire a team of painters you can trust to get the job done right. Here are a few questions you should ask an exterior painting company before you hire them to begin work on your home.
Before hiring any type of contractor, you'll want to ask about references, reviews, and testimonials. The best way to gauge a company is by the experiences they provided previous clients. The company you're looking to hire should have references readily available as well as reviews on their website. If you know someone who has had house painting done, you can also ask them about the painting company they recommend.
Insurance is always important but especially for an exterior painting company. The painters will be working up on ladders and, if you're getting your exterior house trim painted too, will be up to the roof. If something happens, you don't want to be held liable. Be sure to ask about all relevant documentation, such as insurance, licensing, and certifications. This will protect you in the long run.
Proper prepping is key to a successful paint job. According to Bob Vila, at least 30% to 50% of the time spent on the job should be dedicated to preparing the surface. Not only will the final product look better, but it will also last longer. There are several ways to prepare a surface for painting, but some are better for certain materials than others. Ask your contractors about how they intend to prepare your specific exterior.
When getting any work done to your home, you want to know what you should expect to pay. The price of the job will vary depending on the surface area, the type of paint being used, and what exactly is being painted. Avoid any surprises by confirming the cost ahead of time. This can be done by asking your painting company if they offer free estimates, as these provide homeowners with the most accurate quote for the work required on their properties.
