Get the Painting You Want For the Price You Can Afford

May 15, 2014

Not everyone is made of money. We get that. So when you ask for an estimate to paint your home, you probably know what to paint perhaps but you likely have no idea what it should cost for a painter to provide. After all, how could you know if you’re not in the painting business?

Ethical contractors give their best price first but unfortunately for many, the bottom line may come as a bit of a shock. And just as unfortunately, you’re likely to dismiss a perfectly good and honest painting contractor based solely on the price for your decorating wishlist rather than discuss it with them. Or worse, you opt for a lesser quote and pay the price of poor quality, shoddy service and held hostage for extra charges to make it right.

We never want to see that happen to good people just because ( like most of us) you’re on a budget. There’s no shame in that. It’s a fact of life. And if you’re inclined to throw your hard-earned money away to the lowest bidder for no other good reason than price, then it costs us all more in the end… the cost to you for correcting issues and deficiencies resulting from cutting corners as well as in the cost of your trust of our painting industry because of the optics that “low-ball” contractors give the rest of us with shady tactics.

To stop all this nonsense and get what you want at a fair price with guaranteed professional results, all you have to do is go back to the reputable painting professionals you’ve received well-detailed estimates from and ask! The more we know, the more we can help! Sometimes it can feel uncomfortable because you’ve got lingering thoughts in the back of your mind like, “if you have to ask the price, you probably can’t afford it” or some other such consideration. But push these ideas aside and you’ll find that a reputable painting contractor will be respectful and all too happy to go through their quotation with you to possibly show you why it costs what it does for your clarification and to see where costs can be cut to work within your budget, save you money and still give you the professional results you deserve.

The bottom line here is that we, as painting professionals usually don’t know if you have a particular budget range in mind when doing our estimates. As the polite people we try to be, we also don’t ask! All we have to go on is your list of painting and decorating desires and our knowledge of what it will take to achieve it with best practices and appropriate materials. So when the numbers come back to you and they’re on a higher shelf than you were packing for, let us know! We can help. After all; who knows where the savings can be had better than your painting estimator? And as a reputable contractor, it’s our job to give you the best value for your painting dollar… no matter how many dollars you have to work with.
