Why You Need to Feel Comfortable With Your Interior Painter

Hiring an interior painter can seem like a simple task at first. They are the experts and
you are not. However, some low-end painters may do shoddy work and leave you feeling like you need to paint your home all over again. Therefore, you need to select your interior painter carefully to ensure that they are capable of doing the quality job that your home deserves.

There are several “red flags” that can help you tell when your potential Atlanta painters are being dishonest with you. One way to know is to ask them about the type of paint that they use and recommend. An experienced painter can tell you exactly what he or she prefers to use and why. If they evade the question or give you a long, convoluted answer that you cannot understand, you should seek out one who can explain what type of paint they use clearly and concisely.

In addition, most interior painters are aware of the environmental and health impacts of the paint they use. A painter who does not know whether or not their paint releases harmful volatile organic compounds does not have your family’s interest at heart. To find out if a painter is concerned about your family’s health after painting, simply ask. You can never ask too many questions when choosing the right people to paint your home.
Another “red flag” is a painter who will not give you an estimate before they start work. Most interior painters who have painted for a few months or more know approximately how long it will take them to paint a room upon seeing it. If your painter is wishy-washy about how much time it will take them to paint a room or how many gallons of paint they think it will take, you should probably take your business elsewhere.

These are only a few of the many questions you should ask your potential interior painters. Now that you have some ideas to get your creative juices flowing, what are some questions that you plan to ask your next painter? What “red flags” cause you to seek out other Atlanta painting contractors? Remember, the more questions you ask, the more likely you are to find an excellent painter and the more likely you are to be satisfied with the end result.
