Introduction: Hello, Dear Potential Customer; Houle Painting stands out for our extensive (30+) years in the painting business, and our long list of REPEAT customers! We have accumulated these REPEAT customers, due to our commitment to PROFESSIONALISM and RELIABILITY, as well as our EXCELLENT workmanship. Coincidentally, neither Ron nor any of his crew, smoke, drink, or use drugs, and will ALWAYS treat your property with RESPECT. We also stand out, because even though our company is relatively SMALL, Houle Painting gets the job done in a TIMELY manner. Ron has actually devised a system so efficient, that he and his associate can accomplish the work of a much larger crew, in the same amount of time, with a much BETTER end result! We stand out because our reputation IS our lively-hood. As such, our success depends on SATISFIED customers, who not only provide us with REPEAT business, they also RECOMMEND us to their friends, neighbors, and acquaintances. As such, we have served a variety of customers. They include little 91 year old Japanese widows, single moms, military families, senior couples, as well as local celebrities, such as Channel 7's Ned Perme, and local Arkansas millionaires, the Shirleys of "ABC'S of Learning" fame. We stand out because we provide the SAME HIGH level of SERVICE and VALUE to ALL our customers! We know that you may receive bids LOWER than ours, but we are quite confident that you will NOT receive better VALUE for your hard earned dollar than with Houle Painting. BY the WAY, we HOPE you realize that bids for PAINTING jobs are nearly IMPOSSIBLE to bid ACCURATELY, site unseen! There are far too many unknown variables and OPTIONS to be discussed ON SITE. and WITH the customer. We can ONLY provide a FIRM bid after having viewed, and assessed the true scope of YOUR project. Our initial bid is REQUIRED by the SYSTEM, but obviously is truly MEANINGLESS. Therefore, we most SINCERELY request that you CONTACT us in order to arrange a meeting FOR THAT PURPOSE. We are looking forward to providing you with the same EXCELLENT service and value we provide to ALL our customers. Until then, best regards. Sincerely; Ron & Nancy Houle HOULE PAINTING Ron has a much higher work ethic than many, and is a perfectionist. It would be difficult for him to work for most. Therefore, he appreciates the freedom of being his own boss. However, he is ALSO very gratified with a job well done, the peace that comes from knowing his customers are pleased, and the fact that he just made some new friends. We are looking forward to providing you with excellent service in the not- too-far distant future! Call us!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
FIRST, our pricing will be based on VISUALLY assessing the SCOPE and specific DETAILS of the INDIVIDUAL project. Second, our INTERIOR pricing will be based on the following variables: Are the walls standard 8' height, or TALLER. Does the project require the CEILINGS or NOT, AND will they be the SAME color as the walls, or NOT. Does the project require patch work or repairs BEYOND NORMAL wear and tear, and picture holes. Are any crown, trim, doors, or windows to be included. Will all the walls be one or two colors, or MORE. Does the owner want FLAT (and what GRADE), SATIN, or EGGSHELL. Is the project inhabited and furnished, or NOT. Are any cabinets to be finished, new and finish-free, or to be RE-painted, and LINEAR FEET. Third, our EXTERIOR pricing will be based as follows: One story. Square feet if entire structure. Linear feet if just specific walls. Per items total if specific windows, doors, soffit and fascia, columns, porches, decks, etc. Product finish preference: Paint or Stain and Grade. Also, we do not paint residential aluminum or vinyl siding.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Setting an appointment to VISUALLY assess the scope and specific details of the individual project. Determining the specific needs and PREFERENCES of the project owner. Forwarding a FIRM bid LATER, but as soon as possible. If hired, setting a project START DATE, and establishing PAYMENT arrangements (Usually UPON COMPLETION, unless the project is large enough to span MORE than ONE week, then it would be a WEEKLY DRAW). Start the project on the agreed date.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been doing this for over 30 years. I could TEACH the CLASS, and have forgotten MORE than MOST painters will ever KNOW ( that is, IF there WERE a class)! Pardon my lack of humility, but I am regarded as a MASTER CABINET FINISHER, and other painters contact ME when they have a QUESTION! I also stay abreast of new trends in the market, usually via the sales reps. Seriously.
