How to Pick the Perfect House Painting Company

Hello World!  Welcome Friends!  For a project as big as painting inside your home (or even outside, really), it’s only fair to want nothing but the best.  After all, we’ve got to look at our walls, doors, and baseboards day in and day out.  Perfection is the least that we can expect if we hire someone to help with getting the look we want.

Unfortunately, finding the right crew for the job is often easier said than done.  No matter where you are, there’s a temptation to go with a national or international brand.  However, at the end of the day, choosing a local option tends to work out better.  Why is that?

Well, today we’ll be delving into that, as well as what you may want to look for out of your painters.  Figuring out the specifics there can be a bit of a challenge, after all.  To get an idea of what to expect here, though, you can check out this blog: https://sustainability-success.com/why-shopping-local-matters/.  Some of the context there is pretty important.

Why Going Local is a Good Idea

Admittedly, here in Canada, this isn’t always a huge issue.  Our neighbors down south don’t always understand the whole “shop local” thing in comparison, right?  However, it’s still worth mentioning, since some services might still be appealing in terms of going with a big, name brand.

The thing with getting your house painted, though, is that it’s something that needs a more personal touch to get done properly.  Having someone there with you to discuss your specific goals, offer opinions on color selections and how appropriate they are for the neighborhood (curb appeal is a big thing, after all), is invaluable.  If they aren’t familiar with your city, though, how can they really be trusted?

This is probably especially true in a place like Winnipeg, which often can feel like it doesn’t get a whole lot of fan fair.  Bringing in a local painting company can really pay off in terms of how to add curb appeal to your home and to ensure that you’re adding to the value with the new colors you’re picking.  After all, if they know the neighborhood, they can offer some valuable insights there.

An example of that is Perry Wellington Painting, which details a lot of that sort of information on their website.  This stuff matters, for interior and exterior jobs.  Don’t settle for less than excellence.  If you’re not sure what that looks like, that’s what we’ll discuss in the next section.

What Sets a Painting Company Above the Rest?

Professional painters aren’t exactly talked about a whole lot, so many of us don’t really know what we’re looking for.  Obviously, a lot of experience is a plus.  Usually, you can find examples of their work and previous jobs on their website, so it’s worth checking those out if you’re shopping around for a painter.

Positive reviews are another given, really.  Check on their site, of course, but it might also be a good idea to just look them up on your preferred search engine to see if there are any opinions that they didn’t post on their page.  This can help to give you a holistic idea of what to expect, since a lot of companies (naturally) choose just to display the positive opinions.

Something else that you can ask about is what brand of paint that they use.  It might not seem like something super obvious to think about, but it can give you a good idea of what sort of quality they’re providing.  Additionally, if they have several different options, it lets you know that you’ll have a lot of moments to really customize your experience and your results.

Obviously, a lot of who you opt to go with will be personal preference, at the end of the day.  If you’re ever not sure about your choice still, you can talk to people you know who’ve had professional painters in.  Additionally, you can call the painters themselves to ask them any questions that you have.  Quality customer service is a big thing to think about, of course, so that can also help you to get a gauge of that!
