7 Tips For Choosing the Best Exterior House Painter

1. Do Your Research

When you Google “painters in Toronto”, “best exterior house painter“, you’ll be inundated with options. It’s never a good idea to choose the first one you see, as they are likely paying to be on the top of the list but might not be the best fit for you. Surf the web and find a few companies with excellent reviews that are detailed and seem legitimate. No company that has been doing business for a long time will have a perfect score.

But as long as the reviews are detailed and you have a good feeling about the company, you should consider getting a quote from them. You may also consider getting a referral from friends or family for a company they have used and are happy with.

When it comes to your home, any project can be expensive. So we understand people wanting to reduce the cost by hiring someone off Craigslist or Kijiji who will do it for a low price. We always recommend hiring a company with insurance if something goes wrong or someone gets hurt. You have a bit more re-course letting a company into your home, around your valuable possessions, versus someone who posts a cell phone number online for a one-time job.

2. Plan Your Budget

Knowing how much you can spend before getting started is always key. Once the quotes roll in, you can determine which company fits within your price range. Some companies offer flexible payment options, which might be ideal for you.

We don’t recommend hiring the most inexpensive contractor because you’ll likely end up with someone who doesn’t have the experience or uses low-quality products. You want to get a high-quality job for the best value, and sometimes that boils down to price. The old adage “you get what you pay for” couldn’t be more true when it comes to painting services.

You could hire someone for the lowest price and end up having to pay more to have the job fixed because the product quality is poor.

3. Get Three Quotes

We always recommend getting at least three quotes from painting companies before hiring someone for many reasons.

First, if they offer a free quote, that’s a great sign.

Second, it gives you a chance to meet them in person and see how they interact with you and the level of customer service they provide when they’re not being paid. Getting three quotes can help you determine which company meets your budget and will meet your overall expectations.

It also gives you a chance to ask questions.

4. Ask Questions

You want to make sure you’re going into a new painting project educated and aware of everything. Along with the questions you may have. Here are some important ones you should have answered between your research and during the free quote.

5. Get a Contract

When it comes time to sign a contract, you’ll want to ensure that all of the critical information for the company is included. Ensure their name, business number, phone number, and physical address is on the paperwork. All the details on the contract should be no surprise, as they would have been included in the quote you received. It should also include details of the guarantee they offer or warranty.

Always thoroughly read and understand every contract you receive.

6. Choose Someone With a Guarantee

When you’re spending a lot of money on your home, you want to ensure you’re getting the best quality and that the best exterior house painter guarantees their work.
