- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once a quote is given to the customer I encourage them to personal contact me by phone to set up an appointment for a detailed estimate the customers knows exactly what they are getting for their money. I answer any question they may have and cover any problem areas that the house may be having. I also go over the various options with the client, and show them how they can save money on the job. After all questions have been answered I then set up a start date and a small deposit is collected to start the job.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a professional painter for over 20 years working for and with other painting contractors and running my own painting business as well. I pass on that experience to the customers I work with and my painting crews.
