Getting your house painted isn’t cheap, but you can still look for a good price or receive a free estimate. That being said, some house painters seem to offer suspiciously cheap rates that may raise an eyebrow or two. How do some house painters make such cheap offers? Most offers that seem too good to be true are probably untrustworthy. The companies trying to get your business are offering such a low rate by cutting costs which compromises quality and craft.

Cost Cutting Shortcuts

Finding someone to paint your house is a task that should take time and consideration. You are looking for a good price, but you also want a professional house painter that is experienced, uses high quality products and can give you an accurate estimate for the job. Price is always an important factor, and some cheap house painters offer rates far below the market average by cutting costs on very important supplies.

Some harmful shortcuts taken by cheap house painters include:

• Using inferior products: The result of painting your house should last for several years, if not decades. High quality painters select and recommend high quality paint based on the reputation of the product and their own experience with different paint manufacturers. By using a cheaper and lower quality paint, a house painter can significantly reduce the price of a residential painting job. Make sure that the contract  you sign with a house painter specifies the exact type of paint that will be used. Research the product and make sure that it meets your standards before you give anyone your business and sign of approval.
• Hiring inexperienced workers: Some house painters are salespeople that simply hire out jobs once they acquire them. By hiring cheap painters, these companies can offer lower rates. Cheap labor often means inexperienced painters which puts yourself and the house at risk.
• Denying insurance: It is vital that anyone working on your house, painting it or otherwise, be fully insured. As a homeowner, you could be liable for any accidents or injuries that occur during a residential painting job, unless the painter is insured. Insist on hiring a fully insured company to paint your home and release you from liability.

Hiring a Professional Will Save You Money in the Long Run

A fully licensed, insured and experienced professional painting service will likely cost more upfront. The painting job they do, however, will last longer, be of higher quality and will need less “fixes” than jobs of less quality. A good professional painter is interested in building a positive relationship with you, not just getting a paycheck.
