Choosing The Right Exterior Painter Near Me.
Choosing the right house painters will be the biggest thing determining if your paint job is going to last years into the future and increase the value of your home or be a huge headache.
Determining the skill of the painter might be hard without references and referrals but we offer a couple questions that will help you vet the best pro painters in your area.
First things we like to focus on when finding the best painters near me is the certifications and insurance. The second thing we like to focus on is if the painting methods is consistent with other home painters near me. The Third thing I like to make sure is that the painter has local references to ensure they are accustomed to the specifics of painting in my area.
Are they fully certified?
Every province and country is going to have specifics that change which certifications are necessary. In Ontario the best painters near me will have Liability insurance, WSIB insurance, Fall safety training (Working at heights) and if its necessary a Lift operators certification.
We at CW Paint and Tape make sure before every exterior painting season we certify all our painting contractors in WHIMIS and fall safety. Our commercial painters all have their lift operators certification as well as the other certificates mentioned.
Are the Painting Methods Consistent?
The method used to apply the paint is as important as the insurance and certification because the method will determine the outcome. Exterior painters near me might spray paint but in another area they might not.
Spraying paint can give you a nice finish outside and it will speed up the application process. Some places make it difficult to use this method because of weather patterns, wind and legislation.
In PEI spraying is used sparingly because of the high wind conditions. in Ontario you might have a perfectly calm day to spray and a day where the risk is to high. Checking to see what painters near me do will let us know the best practises.
We personally don’t spray outside. For CW Paint and Tape the overspray is not worth the speed. We guarantee the best satisfaction and part of that is protecting your investment and your neighbours investment as well.
Local References
The way to check if the exterior painter is fully certified and uses the best practices would be to check local references. Who better to know what painting companies near me are the best choice then our neighbours.
Every house painting company will have things you might like and dislike checking with previous customers will help you know if they’re the right painters for you.
Conclusion
Checking to see if a Painting company is the right fit for your property should be as seamless as possible. Checking to see if they are fully qualified is always the best first place to start.
After you’ve determined your investment is protected making sure the company uses the best practices for your area will help you narrow in your options. Some practices might be better or worse for your situation and understanding what it is they do can help your research.
Lastly, checking with local references will help you understand what the qualifications and skill levels of the painter are.
