- Always
ask about the guarantee.
- Ask
for ten recent references.
- Ask
whether the company in question has liability insurance and workman's
compensation.
- If
the estimate is for an interior residential job observe whether
the estimator removed their shoes at the front door without first
being prompted. Without feelings of respect what is there to distinguish
us from beasts.
- See
if the estimator knows what the primary colors are. (red, yellow,
blue)
- Ask
whether plastic or cloth will be used to protect the floor. Plastic
would indicate that you'represently speaking with an amateur.
- Furthermore,
ask whether the company in question differentiates between exterior
and interior drop clothes for the furniture.
- How
many coats are being applied? Does a third or fourth coat cost
extra? (when using really deep colors over lighter ones three
and four coats is probable; even with top of the line paints)
- Ask
the estimator what kind of stipple the painters aim for. (stipple
is the effect or pattern left bythe roller sleeve and should resemble
the outer peel of a sunkist orange picked in late June, small
and pimply)
- Ask
whether or not all leftover paint gets securely sealed and clearly
labeled for the customer.
