If you\u2019ve never hired a professional painting company, you may be missing out on some real benefits. When considering hiring a painting company, you want to know what to look for and what kinds of questions to ask so you can be sure to hire a trustworthy company. This guide will help you select the right painting company and understand what to expect from professional painters.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85a79f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"85a79f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.20.0 - 26-03-2024 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Tips for Hiring a Painter<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-419aaf03 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"419aaf03\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Generally, it\u2019s good practice to contact and compare at least three painting companies before making a decision. Here is a sampling of what to ask a painter before hiring one:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Ask if they can provide reviews from past clients and references from recent jobs. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onitpainting.com\">A top-quality painting company in Indianapolis <\/a>will have a reputation to match. Beyond that, you can do your research by looking at their reviews on Google, Yelp, and Angie\u2019s List. You should also be able to look at a photo gallery showing examples of their past work.<\/li><li><strong>Ask what kinds of jobs are their specialty. <\/strong>Some painting companies perform <a href=\"https:\/\/onitpainting.com\/residential\/interior-painting\/\">interior painting<\/a> but rarely do <a href=\"https:\/\/onitpainting.com\/residential\/exterior\/\">exterior paint jobs in Indianapolis<\/a>. Some can handle simple jobs but can\u2019t do spaces with high square footage or special decorative finishes. Be sure to find out if the company you\u2019re vetting has the right skills for your specific needs.<\/li><li><strong>Ask how long they have been in business.<\/strong> Generally, a company won\u2019t stay in business very long if they are unreliable or don\u2019t do good work.<\/li><li><strong>Ask how many people they will have working on your project.<\/strong> An experienced team of professionals will have enough painters in their employ to get your job done efficiently.<\/li><li><strong>Ask about their process.<\/strong> A professional painting company will have a process that they follow to ensure quality and consistently reliable outcomes.<\/li><li><strong>Ask about the deposit required.<\/strong> Most professional painting companies do not require payment in full before completing the job, but many require a deposit. Be sure you\u2019re comfortable with their billing and payment structure before hiring them.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47779041 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"47779041\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What Should I Expect From A Professional Painter?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7571783e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7571783e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li><strong>Professionalism.<\/strong>The customer is at the center, and the experience should not feel like a chore. Your painting professional should make the difficult elements of painting easier, such as choosing a color or deciding between paint and stain. They have access to industry tools, experience, and expertise and understand unique situations, like making sure a new paint job is HOA-compliant.<\/li><li><strong>Consultative Approach.<\/strong>There should be a recognition amongst the painting team that it\u2019s your home and that you are the expert in your home and what fits your life. A professional painter spends time asking questions and getting to know you and the details of your project.<\/li><li><strong>Upfront Pricing.<\/strong>You should know what you are getting for what price. With a streamlined and structured estimating approach, you have the opportunity to consider and approve project variables before any work starts.<\/li><li><strong>Excellent Communication.<\/strong>You are in on the conversation. Collaboratively with a professional painter, you set appointments, choose color, and set expectations before the project begins.<\/li><li><strong>Flexible and Reliable.\u00a0<\/strong>Your painter should understand your needs. They should offer project scheduling that fits your schedule. And when they say they\u2019ll be there, they should be there.<\/li><li><strong>Excellent Reviews.\u00a0<\/strong>Check out potential painting companies\u2019 reviews online.

This might mean cleaning or sanding surfaces, removing chipped paint, and filling any cracks or holes, or it might require more intensive prepping, such as carpentry.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Professional Supplies.<\/strong> Painters should come equipped with professional-quality supplies, including tarps, drop cloths, painter\u2019s tape, high-quality paints and primers, brushes, rollers, and sprayers.<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Responsive Communication.\u00a0<\/b>Your painter should be available to answer your questions and reply to your calls promptly.

Every painting company is different, but a full-service professional painting company will often take care of moving or removing furniture, carpets, and wall hangings and preparing the surface for you.

If you can\u2019t (or don\u2019t want to) be there while the painters are working, take anything you\u2019ll need out of the house with you\u2014a laptop, chargers, etc. Likewise, don\u2019t forget to arrange pet care for the day if needed. If you have anything especially fragile or valuable on your walls, you may wish to store them away for your peace of mind.
