When considering which painter to select for house painting and decorating, understanding the differences between an experienced professional painters quote and inclusions vs. a less experienced or budget painting businesses quote can assist in making a more informed decision. When sourcing and obtaining painting quotes a qualified, experienced painter will in most cases request to physically view the job. This is to allow the painter to see the condition of the job and make an assessment on the level of quality the painting job requires. An experienced painter will then provide a detailed scope of works outlining all:
They will also provide an estimated time frame for the job to be completed along with painting contractor license number, insurance details, any workmanship guarantees and their terms and conditions. Your painting quote should be clear and specific, the quote is intended to give you peace of mind that your painter has understood the requirements for the job and will deliver a professional service and quality finishes. Once you’ve obtained your quotes it’s always good to check if the painting business has any social media profiles or a website where you can see proof of their work, read client testimonials and check their business details. It can be hard to compare quotes as often you aren’t comparing apples with apples. Each business will have a different quote layout and some variations to products however, generally all other elements of the quote should be similar and stated clearly. If something’s missing, clear this up directly and don’t be afraid to ask. A professional painter will be happy to clarify questions and discuss your quote in as much detail as you require to comfortably make your decision. Cheaper painting quotes are a reflection of the level of quality, time and attention to detail your painter is going to be able to provide to your job. Without a thorough assessment of the scope of the job and a detailed quote a cheaper quote has been price focused rather than service focused. To provide the cheapest quote, painters may not have the overheads a professional, qualified painter requires such as licenses, insurances and membership fees for industry associations such as Dulux Accredited painters. Cost cutting can also occur in a range of areas including preparation, number of coats, paint products and completion times. An experienced painter allows enough time to complete the job without rushing, completing all the required methods and processes for a quality long lasting paint job, ensuring you are making a long term investment If you require an experienced painter for your upcoming house painting in the Eastern Suburbs or Sydney, request a quote and we'll come out to chat about your plans.

It's great that the article mentioned how a painter will provide an estimated time frame for the job to be completed along with all of their credentials. My father is renovating his house so that he can raise its value in order to sell it for a profit and retire. He is unfamiliar with the painting process, so it's probably a good idea for him to hire a professional to paint the inside of his house.

I definitely see a lot of new home buyers settling for minimal details and hidden fees from certain businesses because they don't really know what they should be looking for. This is a really helpful read!
