FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
First things first, our estimates are always free and no pressure. We estimate based on the square footage, linear footage, prep work and required materials. Different paints have different spread rates, which means the amount of square footage 1 gallon of paint can cover. Since we estimate using actual measurements of the square footage, we can accurately estimate the amount of materials required. Because of this our estimates are always accurate. You do not want to hire a painter that under-estimated the amount of work required and has to rush through the project.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We begin by asking questions - and lots of questions. How soon are you looking to get this done? How long do you plan on living in your home? Does the smell of paint bother you? Have you ever had any bad experiences working with contractors? Do you need help picking colors?
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Prior to starting Proper Prep Painters, I worked at a painting company selling large commercial jobs for apartment complexes, HOAs, government buildings, etc.
