FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do quality honest work for fair prices. Know that what I charge on a project is not my earnings for that project. There are costs involved, from advertising, buying quality tools and materials, storage, clean up and maintenance of tools. Also my work day is not done when I leave your project. I do still have to clean all the tools used and organize them to be ready for my next project.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically I meet with the customer at the project location and go over the details of what they need done and in what time frame. I’ll calculate the cost depending on a few factors. The customer provides the paint and I provide all other supplies needed. Once we come to an agreement I send them the details of the agreement through an email. Most painters will want a deposit upfront for supplies but I usually work the first day to show what I bring to the table then collect a deposit. Once the project is complete and my client is happy I collect the rest. I thank my client and remind them that my work comes with a year warranty. If they notice that somehow I missed a spot, or some paint starts peeling off somewhere for no fault of their own I will come back and fix the issue.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I gained valuable experience working for two high-volume painting companies that held contracts with HOA neighborhoods comprising hundreds of houses. As part of a three-person team, we completed 4-6 houses per week, tackling exterior painting projects that included roofs, trim, doors, garage doors, and walls. Utilizing airless sprayers, we efficiently painted 2-3 houses simultaneously. This experience provided me with a wealth of knowledge and skills that have greatly contributed to my expertise in the field.
