It can brighten up the space, make it feel more inviting, and even add value to your property. But if you&#8217;re not familiar with hiring a painting company, it can be daunting to know where to start. That&#8217;s where contract painters and decorators like Bannon Decor come in.<\/p>\n<p>We will work with you to create a space that is both beautiful and functional. We&#8217;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 &#8211; one that reflects the correct use of the property.<\/p>\n<p>So how do you choose the right contract painter and decorator for your project? Here are a few tips:<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ask for References<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1519 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bannondecor.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/references-img.jpg\" alt=\"contract painter and decorator\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bannondecor.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/references-img.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/bannondecor.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/references-img-980x513.jpg 980w, https:\/\/bannondecor.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/references-img-480x251.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1200px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, it&#8217;s important to choose a painter whose work is similar in scope and size to your project, and it&#8217;s also helpful if the references are from a few years ago so you can verify the results<\/p>\n<p>When you contact the references, be sure to ask them questions such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Was the job completed on time?<\/li>\n<li>Were you satisfied with the results?<\/li>\n<li>Did the quote match the final cost?<\/li>\n<li>Was the painter\u2019s work disruptive?<\/li>\n<li>Would you hire the painter again?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>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 <a href=\"https:\/\/bannondecor.ie\/our-work\/\">gallery of images <\/a>which show some nice examples of finished work.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Check their Insurance.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Look at their experience.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1528 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bannondecor.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/craft_cert_large-img2.jpg\" alt=\"contract painter and decorator\" width=\"710\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bannondecor.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/craft_cert_large-img2.jpg 710w, https:\/\/bannondecor.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/craft_cert_large-img2-480x373.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 710px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Bannon Decor&#8217;s National Craft Certificate<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re looking for a contract painter and decorator, it&#8217;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&#8217;ll know the right techniques to use and will be able to work quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, look for a painter who is familiar with the type of project you&#8217;re undertaking. If you&#8217;re painting a room that has never been painted before, you&#8217;ll need a painter who is experienced in <a href=\"https:\/\/bannondecor.ie\/interior-painting-and-decorating\/\">painting new surfaces<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Bannon Decor is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps?cid=17400119907703875976\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contract painting and decorating company<\/a> with over 30 years of experience in the industry.
