wilsonville painting companyWhen you need to hire a contractor for home improvements , it’s never easy knowing what the proper rate is.

You don’t want to be convinced to pay over what’s fair, but it’s difficult to identify what a reasonable price is.

To help you better understand costs of hiring a Wilsonville painting company on your project this year, we’ve put together a brief guide of 3 tips to help you great the best price for the outdoor painting job. Let’s take a look!

1. The More, The Better

Without a doubt, one of the best ways to make sure you hire the right Wilsonville painting company is to reach out to more than one! As a customer, you always have the right to request an estimate for a job and its best to always get a few estimates.

Not only will you get a much better understanding of the proper price of the painting job, but you’ll also develop your knowledge of what the job will entail.

By being more informed about what needs doing, you’ll be in a better position to negotiate a good price. After consulting three or four contractors, you’ll know how much is the proper rate. Just remember though, cheapest rarely means best in the world of painting and construction. Make sure you do your due diligence and look for the best value , not just the lowest cost. Which leads us to point number two…

2. Less isn’t More

It isn’t all about the price of the job. Even if someone is willing to do the painting job for a much lower price, this might mean that the quality of the work isn’t up to standard.

However, you don’t want to be fooled into paying an expensive rate for the job, even though it wasn’t worth it in the end. A high price does not automatically mean a better value.

You have to make a decision about what you’re willing to pay for the painting job and the degree of expertise and experience required. Checking Google reviews is a great place to start when trying to determine who gives you the most bang for your buck.

 

3. Get Creative

Put yourself in the contractor’s shoes. Maybe they will come down in price if you want to build a custom deck in addition to the paint job.

More work on-site means less overhead, and perhaps your painting cost itself can drop a bit. Maybe you negotiate some interior work in the winter, when painting contractors are less in demand.
