At Warline we know that informed customers are the best ones, so here are some tips to make comparing painting estimates as easy as pie.<\/p><h4><span class=\"MainBody\"><strong><span class=\"heading-sub\">Face time matters<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4><p><span class=\"MainBody\">There is no way you can get an accurate painting estimate over the phone. If a painter won&#8217;t take the time to come look at your job (even small ones), consider that a red flag and call another one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h4><span class=\"MainBody\"><strong><span class=\"heading-sub\">Get it in writing<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4><p><span class=\"MainBody\">Okay, so they came out to see your job and gave you a verbal price on the spot or called you later with a price, but no written estimate. That&#8217;s pretty dicey since you are now working on a verbal agreement for what work will be done and what products will be used. Get it in writing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h4><span class=\"MainBody\"><strong><span class=\"heading-sub\">Apples to apples<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4><p><span class=\"MainBody\">Once you have a couple written estimates you want to make sure you are comparing similar work and products. The areas to pay attention to are:\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ul><li><span class=\"MainBody\">The work being done is the same.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"MainBody\">For example what is the prep work to be done? Does the painting include walls and trim or just walls? Are ceilings being painted? What about the insides of closets?<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"MainBody\">The number of coats of primer (if being used) and paint are the same. Is there an extra charge for dark colours or significant colour changes?<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"MainBody\">Are comparable products being used? If product details aren&#8217;t included in the estimate, read this article on why you should throw out the estimate.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h4><span class=\"MainBody\"><strong><span class=\"heading-sub\">Extra services<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4><p><span class=\"MainBody\">Does the estimate include extra non-painting items such as wood repair that might be required, power washing and professional\u00a0colour consultation.<\/span><\/p><h4><span class=\"MainBody\"><strong><span class=\"heading-sub\">Start dates and completion dates<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4><p><span class=\"MainBody\">Nobody wants a project to drag out over time and a professional painter will give you a timeframe of when the project will begin, how long each phase will take and when it will be done.<\/span><\/p><h4><strong><span class=\"MainBody\"><span class=\"heading-sub\">The warranty<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h4><p><span class=\"MainBody\">This is especially important for exterior work and don&#8217;t mistake product warranties by the paint manufacturer for warranties on workmanship. Ask about warranty details and any exclusions and omissions. You can learn more about the\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"MainBody\">differences in paint warranties in<\/span><span class=\"MainBody\"> this previous post<\/span><span class=\"MainBody\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h4><span class=\"MainBody\"><strong><span class=\"heading-sub\">Price and payment terms<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4><p><span class=\"MainBody\">The price needs to be clearly outlined with GST. Don&#8217;t accept an estimate that provides an hourly rate with an estimate of the time required. If a deposit is require, it should not be for more than 25% of the work to be done and never pay it in cash. If it is a large project and payment draws are requested, the estimate should clearly outline what work will be completed at each phase. Be careful of draws based on\u00a0timelines instead of performance.<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"MainBody\">Taking the time to understand the differences in estimates makes it easier to find and hire the right painter. If you need to, once you have all your estimates,\u00a0<a href=\"\/contact-us\/\">f<\/a>eel free to give us a call with any questions\u00a0you might have about the differences in your estimates. You might find that the lowest price doesn&#8217;t mean you are getting the best deal or that the highest price doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean you are paying for the best either.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element
