How to find a good painter?

If you need to redecorate your home or just paint some of the rooms, you should find a trusted professional or even a company that offers such services. Looking at random online is not the best idea. Even if you call a professional, if you can't determine how reliable it is, you probably won't get the expected results.

Some "companies" are, in fact, a group of two or three "friends" who worked together for other companies. It is not that choosing this type of painters is wrong. However, if the respective company does not have a license to operate, or a portfolio, it is a good idea to avoid them.

Even if you sign a contract, in some cases careless workers cannot be easily avoided. You may think that there are many such companies willing to offer you services. However, if you start calling, you will find that most of these companies do not offer reliable services or that they are too expensive.

Compare first, then order

Recommendations are still the best way to find painters. Ask your neighbors, colleagues, and friends if they know anyone. Specialty directories are also a good way to look. You can trust a Pintor en Tavernes de la Valldigna who takes care of your image, even the online image. If you can't find someone there, you can try local specialty newspapers.

Ask for references and quotes

Request a quote. Even before signing a contract, compare quotes offered by specialized companies to make sure you find exactly what you need. The painter must give you separate prices and a plan. If the painter doesn't have enough time to estimate the costs, they probably won't have time to work for you. In case you are a business owner and need a paint job, ask about billing and payment terms. He doesn't even believe how many painters "forget" to issue an invoice.

Talk about transportation. Some painters will give you a quote when you talk to them on the phone, but when they get to your location, they will also ask for a transportation fee. Be sure to indicate in the contract whether or not you need to pay for transportation.

Transportation also includes frequent trips to paint shops. During a paint job, painters always discover they need something, and some of them would ask you to take them to the store if you want the job to "get done faster." Professional painters know everything from the start, so when they arrive they have all the tools, paints and instruments with them.

Check the job estimate. Materials are generally listed separately from labor. This is how you can see what materials they would use and their prices. If you think some products can be purchased cheaper, please ask the painters to purchase the materials in the right place. Some painters would take materials from their own stock and set arbitrary prices, but you may ask them to adjust prices to average market prices.
