Choosing the best house painters in Melbourne can be a very important decision considering how much the quality of the work can change from painter to painter. Here are some helpful hints on how to choose the right person for the job.
Be sure of the job you want done
Spend some time thinking about and writing out everything you need done. Make some decisions about the style of the job, and start thinking about things like colour and texture. Look at the area that you want to paint to try and see if you might need some extra surface preparation by checking for peeling or chipping paint, or cracking and crumbling plaster. Read More
Why do painters quote such a broad range of prices?
Unethical Painters: Some painters are not licensed and charge less to try and pull customers from qualified providers. Others use cheaper materials, like cheap watered down paint. This obviously lowers the cost for the painters but doesn’t provide a lasting solution for the customer. There are also a number of house painters that don’t have adequate insurance, so hiring their services can be somewhat of a risk considering neither you nor the painter is protected should something go wrong.
Surface Preparation: Different jobs require different levels of surface preparation, so even painters licensed by the MPA will give you different quotes. Surface preparation requires a lot of attention to detail, and can take more time than actually painting. This can lead to a big difference in quotes for what seems to be the same amount of work.
