Two Mistakes To Avoid In Hiring Cumming House Painter
This is a series of Cumming House Painting tips from "expert Dave" as he shares the common mistakes people make when hiring a home painter and how you can avoid them.
If you are on a schedule or have one that needs to be met, you need to find a house painter that will be sensitive to that schedule and committed to meet it. A horrible mistake would be, for example, if you have your mother-in-law coming in town to visit, and you need the job done in a certain amount of days. And the house painter has no regard for your time-line and is still painting as your guest arrives. It’s best to hold off the paint job if your house painter cannot meet your schedule.
You should also be aware of the actual process involved in painting. You paint the ceilings first. Get a coat on your trim and then cut the wall paint into the underside of the trim. It’s a whole lot easier to cut a wall into a ceiling rather than a ceiling into the wall. If your hand is not steady enough, some people paint the walls, let it dry and then mask it off. Then they paint the trim so as to not get a penetration from one color into another. A good steady hand will reveal a skilled painter, as an artist even, who can cut in with paint in places that most people could not!
Mistake #4
One of the major mistakes is not discussing the specifics of workmanship, such as the scheduling of how things are actually performed. You need to ask such questions as, “Where are you going to paint first in my house?” If you know the scheduling in advance in what will be painted first, you won’t allow a painter to make a horrific mistakes that can be costly adding up to “extra’s” on your bill. In addition, you would want to know the specific details of the actual painting such as, not being able to put eggshell paint over semi-gloss…. Knowing the details of painting can help you determine the proper painter, one who will work in a timely scheduled manner.
