by | Nov 7, 2022 | Commercial Painting

 

It’s no secret that a fresh coat of paint can do wonders for your office, home or commercial buildings. It can brighten up the space, make it feel more inviting, and even add value to your property. But if you’re not familiar with hiring a painting company, it can be daunting to know where to start. That’s where contract painters and decorators like Bannon Decor come in.

We will work with you to create a space that is both beautiful and functional. We’ll help you select the right colours and finishes for your walls and ceiling, as well as add texture and pattern with wallpaper if desired. The end result will be a space you can be proud of – one that reflects the correct use of the property.

So how do you choose the right contract painter and decorator for your project? Here are a few tips:

Ask for References

The best way to find a contract painter and decorator who will do a great job on your home or commercial property is to ask for references. A qualified painter will be able to provide you with at least three references of past customers.

By speaking with previous clients, you can get a better idea of the quality of work the painter does, how well they work with clients, and if there were any problems with the project that arose. It is also a good idea to ask if they would hire the painter again.

In addition, it’s important to choose a painter whose work is similar in scope and size to your project, and it’s also helpful if the references are from a few years ago so you can verify the results

When you contact the references, be sure to ask them questions such as:

  • Was the job completed on time?
  • Were you satisfied with the results?
  • Did the quote match the final cost?
  • Was the painter’s work disruptive?
  • Would you hire the painter again?

In addition to references, it can also be helpful to ask the contract painter and decorator to show you some finished projects. This will give you a better idea of what to expect in terms of results. You can check out our own gallery of images which show some nice examples of finished work.

Check their Insurance.

It’s important to make sure that the contract painters and decorators you hire are insured. Painting can be a hazardous job, and if something goes wrong, you could be held responsible. By hiring an insured painter, you can rest assured that any injuries that occur during the painting process will be taken care of.

When you speak with a painting and decorating contractor, be sure to ask if they have insurance and what type of coverage they have. You should also ask for proof of insurance in the form of a certificate of insurance. We are happy to supply these documents as standard operating procedure.

Look at their experience.

Bannon Decor’s National Craft Certificate

When you’re looking for a contract painter and decorator, it’s important to look at their experience. A painter with years of experience will be more likely to do a good job on your home. They’ll know the right techniques to use and will be able to work quickly and efficiently.

In addition, look for a painter who is familiar with the type of project you’re undertaking. If you’re painting a room that has never been painted before, you’ll need a painter who is experienced in painting new surfaces.

Ask to see examples of their work. A qualified contract painter and decorator will be able to show you photos or even physical examples of their previous work. This will give you a better idea of what to expect from them.

Get a Written Quote.

Once you’ve decided on a contract painter and decorator, be sure to get a written quote for the project. This quote should include a detailed description of the work that will be done, as well as an estimate of the total cost. Be sure to read over the quote carefully to make sure that you understand everything that is included.

Are They Licensed?

When you’re considering hiring a contract painter and decorator, it’s important to make sure that they are licensed. This means that they have the proper training and experience to do the job safely and correctly.

If you’re unsure of whether or not the painter is licensed, ask them to show you their license. All contract painters and decorators in Ireland must be licensed in order to work.

By hiring a licensed contractor, you can be sure that you’re getting quality workmanship.
