3 Things to Consider Before Painting Your Home
Whether you’re planning to refresh a few rooms or give your home’s exterior a new look, choosing the right painting company is just as important as choosing the right color. A quality painting project starts with the people doing the work, the experience they bring, and how they prepare your home.
Here are three important things to consider when choosing a painting company.
Make sure your painter is licensed and insured
Before hiring a painting company, make sure they have the proper insurance and protections in place. This includes workers’ compensation and liability insurance, which help protect both the homeowners and the people working on their property. It’s also worth asking about the company’s employees. Are the painters trained employees of the company, or is the work being completed by subcontractors?
At Nolan Painting, our painters are full-time Nolan employees. We don’t use subcontractors, and our team members are background-checked, trained, and covered by workers’ compensation. We’re also fully licensed and insured.
Experience matters
Interior and exterior painting can involve a wide range of surfaces, and each surface can require a different approach. An experienced painting company should know how to work with these materials, identify potential problems, and recommend the right products and techniques for the project.
Nolan Painting has been painting homes throughout Greater Philadelphia for over 45 years. Our painters receive ongoing training and have experience working on a wide variety of interior and exterior residential and commercial painting projects
Ask what preparation is included
One of the biggest factors in how a paint job looks and holds up is the kind of prep work that is done. Interior preparation may include repairing holes and cracks, sanding, caulking, and protecting floors and furniture. Exterior preparation can include cleaning, scraping, sanding, and repairing or replacing damaged surfaces.
At Nolan Painting, preparation is an important part of every project. Our teams can also handle carpentry and repairs that may be needed before painting, including drywall, molding, and wood replacement.
Choosing the right painting company
A successful painting project is about more than putting paint on a wall. Look for a company that is properly insured, has the experience to handle your home’s surfaces, and takes the time to properly prepare before painting begins.
These details can make a difference in the quality and longevity of your finished project. Nolan Painting provides interior and exterior painting, carpentry, and repair services throughout Montgomery, Chester, Delaware, and Bucks Counties.
