Maybe your dream home could be a bit dreamier or you’ve invested in a fixer upper, or maybe you just want to update your curb appeal. Whatever the case may be, finding the right exterior house painting service is key when deciding on a home upgrade of this stature. There are several things to consider when choosing an exterior house painting service. Pricing, reputation and services offered are all points to look into when making your decision. As house painting costs can be in the several thousand dollar range , it is important you make a wise choice when deciding on who you will hire.. 

 

Consider The Cost of Exterior House Painting Services

One of the first things to consider when deciding to paint your homes exterior is your budget. This is a fairly large scale project so you want to be sure you are prepared for the costs. We recommend calling around to local companies to receive quotes and to ask questions regarding the cost and services. Prices can vary depending on the condition and size of your home and the materials used. Some paint can be more expensive than others, some homes may require more prep work and homes of varying sizes equal varying costs. 

 

Look At Reviews 

Another thing to consider is the reputation and reviews of the company you’re looking to hire. Cheap may not always equal better. With a project as big as painting the exterior of your home, it’s important not to cut any corners and this includes hiring inexperienced contractors. Basing your decision on an exterior house painting service should be about more than just cost. Look into reviews for the companies you’re considering. This can give you good insight on how the company has performed for others. Just googling the name of the company you can typically find many reviews

 

Know What Services You Need

Lastly, be sure you know what you want and that the company you choose can meet that expectation. If you have unique ideas or just want a specific type of paint you will need to be sure the company can satisfy your requests. Be sure to ask questions and go over any ideas or specifications you may have. Also consider if the company you use will be doing any prep work to the home or if it’s on you to ready the home. It’s important to have a clear understanding on the services that can and will be performed prior to making your decision. 

 

Get Setup with Your Exterior House Painting Service

Once you’ve shopped around and decided what company is best to serve as your exterior house painting service, reach out and set something up. Summer is a great time to knock out this project, but can also be a busy time of year in this industry so don’t hesitate once a decision has been made! Once the work is done, you’ll enjoy your newly updated home knowing you made a well informed choice!
