House Painting Contractors are everywhere and all of them want to paint your house! painting contractors pittsburgh pa So, how do we know which paint contractor to choose that we can trust, will do a great job, and not over charge? In the past few years, many contractors of various trades have changed their trade due to lack of work in their particular trade and decided to become paint contractors since it is a trade where there will always be work.

The problem is, that they decide to become a house painter without the proper knowledge and then under bid the job just to get work. The home owner receives a cheap paint job with cheap paint, which looks decent at the moment, but not the quality of work that will give the owners a long lasting appearance.

The best way to find a house painter who will perform a quality job and use quality paint is to consult with a local paint store and get references. Do your due diligence and research paint lines to determine the quality of paint that you want to use.

As an example, I will use PPG Porter Paints. PPG is a leading manufacturer in the coatings industry and has some of the best coatings and paints available. The product line called Silken Touch comes in all available sheens, has a lifetime warranty, covers very well, touches up well and is very washable.

When selecting a house painter, I go to the local Porter Paint store and talk to the staff and get recommendations on who I should use. They give me three different contacts for painting contractors that they would use in their own home and made reccommendations on which paint to use, which I chose the Silken Touch.

Once I have the names, then I call all three and set appointments to meet at the home. I qualify them on the entire process as far as how soon they make themselves available, are they on time and how courteous they are to my needs. Do they listen to my needs and ask questions? Do they talk about quality paints and how long they have been in the business. Check and make sure that they are bonded and insured.

I qualify each contractor, look at how close the bid prices are to each other and then select the house painter that I want to use. I have already decided on which paint I want used in my house after the research, so I instruct them on which paint and brand and make sure that it is written in the painting bid.

I have found that the paint store staff will always recommend quality painting contractors that you can trust and it has always worked for me in the past. When I sold my house five years after being painted, there was very little touchup and the paint job still looked good since I used the top quality paint.

I recently went through the process of selecting a paint contractor in Lawrenceville Ga for my house painting since I purchased a new home. I went to the paint store, received three referrals and ended up using a great guy by the name of Joe with Popovich Paint And Repair from Buford, Ga.

I was very pleased with his workmanship and professionalism and would strongly recommend his company to anyone looking for a house painter in Lawrenceville or surrounding cities. If interested, you can find and his contact info is there. Good luck in getting your home painted and I hope that you get the quality work and professionalism that I received.
