FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
With ThumbTack you can get a ballpark price, but after you find out the price range, you need to know WHO it is you want to hire! We know it's very important to you who you let into your home or yard. We meet with every customer in person to discuss the project and measure the area to be painted. After meeting, we provide a written proposal detailing the project and pricing.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
ABE Paint Team is a member of the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America. All work is to be completed in a workman-like manner according to standard practices. Worker/s will remain on job until completion of project. Work site will be cleaned daily and upon project completion. All agreements are contingent upon the absence of strikes, accidents or delays beyond our control. Our work procedures follow the standards of the PDCA (Painting and Decorating Contractors of America). The painting contractor will produce a "properly painted surface." A "properly painted surface" is one that is uniform in color and sheen. It is one that is free of foreign material, lumps, skins, sags, holidays, misses, strike-through or insufficient coverage. It is a surface that is free of drips, spatters, spills or over-spray caused by the contractors' workforce performance. Compliance to meeting the criteria of a "properly painted surface" shall be determined when viewed without magnification at a distance of one meter or more under normal lighting conditions and from a normal viewing position.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
- Take time to interview the contractor in person. Online reviews are helpful, but it's worth your time to get a feel for how someone is going to be to work with. - Ask questions about the crew that will be doing the work: 1. Are their workers employees or sub-contractors? 2. Are the employees adequately covered with Workers Compensation Insurance (if not, You, the homeowner is liable if a worker is injured on your property) 3. Are the employees background checked and drug screened?
