CARE
OF PROPERTY
We will cover furniture
and floors to protect them. The work area will be kept clean throughout the
process.
You’re welcome to inspect
our work during the job, and ask questions.
Exterior painting--We do
our best to watch those flowers and plants. We can’t guarantee that we won’t
step on the pachysandra, but we do our best not to disturb your greenery.
Prior to the start of the
job we go over important things like:
“Don’t
let the dog out, but its O.K.
to let the cat out or in,”
or
Times of day when
baby is sleeping?
We need to
know your concerns.
UNKNOWN REPAIRS
When we are working
outside there could be a board or window that needs special repair. We won’t
just paint over an area to get it done. We’ll let you know the condition of
the boards and offer advice.
COLOR
SELECTION
When you select a color
from a chip it is a good idea to get a sample of that paint and try a swatch
on a couple different walls. The paint color shows up differently at different
times of day. We can discuss what type of finish is best for the job.
Each paint sheen has its
own quality. We’ll help you decide which is best for your project. Choices
include the following:
Matte Flat
Semi-gloss Satin
High
gloss Eggshell
Typically we use the
following brands:
Benjamin Moore,
Sherwin-Williams and MAB
TOOL
QUALIFICATIONS
Our work is guaranteed
for two years. At the job we will have a work order sheet for our painters to
follow. Usually the only disappointments come when the scope of the job is not
clear.
Whatever the project, it
is helpful to have any decision-makers present and involved from the
beginning. That way you make the best decision.
The whole painting process
is like
trying to find a dance partner.
For things to work right
everybody needs to be in sync;
this makes for a good job.

The best advice that I
ever got was to ask a contractor what he thought should be done on the job.
Then, you have his opinion and the suggestions which can help you to form your
own ideas on what should be done. And, it helps you to evaluate his
suggestions.
