What preparation is needed to assure a great paint job?
Preparation is the most important aspect of every great paint job, and different kinds of projects require different levels of prep. Having a clean surface is absolutely essential, and some substrates (surfaces) require sanding and/or de-glossing as well. A professional painter can determine if a primer coat is required. Caulking, filling holes and repairing damage prior to applying paint will assure a beautiful finished product.
What is low or zero VOC paint?
VOC’s or Volatile Organic Compounds are a hot topic these days. VOC’s are toxic chemicals that are released from paint as it dries. Paint companies have been working hard for years to produce products that include low or zero VOC’s. There are several reliable low and zero VOC products on the market. At Painters Hamilton, we strive to protect the environment by using low and zero VOC products whenever possible.
Why should I paint my home?
A lot of people ask me why painting your home is so important. Not only is it important from a cosmetic standpoint, but it also protects your home. Think of the paint job as the skin of the exterior or interior of your home/business. It protects the interior and exterior surface areas from the elements. It also creates a mood, especially on the interior of your home. Thoughtful color choices, proper prep work, and professional execution of a painting projects will really make a huge difference!
Are you licensed and insured?
Absolutely! We’re a fully licensed and insured painting company.
How do I achieve lasting results?
I tell all my customers that painting is the easy part (and most fun). Getting the surface ready for the painting phase is the most important. There’s little point in putting energy and time into a painting project that will peel or fade a year later. Hiring a professional and experienced painting contractor is key in ensuring your money is well spent. Contact us today for a free estimate and consultation!
Why should I hire a professional painter?
There are many reasons to hire a professional to paint your home or office. Besides being more time efficient, hiring painting contractors ensures your project meets health codes, is properly prepped and cleaned up, and provides a professional finish. Rather than hassling with ladders, toxic fumes, and messy clean up, hire professional painters to get the project done quickly and skillfully!
What should I do to prepare my house for painting?
Interior
Our painting crews protect all your furniture, fixtures, and floor coverings when they prepare the area, however we ask that you clear the room of small items and breakables. We can also move the bigger items for you when we arrive upon request.
Exterior
We ask that any shrubbery be cut back (approximately 2 feet from home), furniture is moved off the patio and/or deck, window screens are unlocked from the inside, and someone be home for the pressure washing. Also, it’s important to let us know if you have noticed any severely rotten wood and major water leaks around windows, doors, or ceilings so we can address these issues prior to starting the project.
What brand of paint do you use?
Firstly, we would like to state that we can match any color from any brand. However, we are huge fans of both the Sherwin Williams interior and exterior products. The reason why we like these products is we have the most experience with them. We have used other brands but we feel, from a durability and value perspective, these products are the best. Do you have a specific brand/product that you would like to use – let us know!
Do you provide touch up paint after you are finished?
Of course! Any paint that we buy for your project will be left on the premises. If we use all the paint to finish your project, we will get you a complimentary gallon for future touch ups.
Can I leave my home while your painting crew works?
Certainly! While you are at work or running errands, our crew will be busy prepping and painting your home. We are fully licensed and insured so there is nothing to worry about.
How long does a job take?
The length of a project varies. Most of the residential painting we do can be completed in less than a week, however we also have jobs which take upwards of two weeks. Commercial painting projects can take longer depending on the size of the building(s). Throughout the entire project, we make sure to keep you very informed of the timeline. If we think the project may take longer than expected, we let you know right away.
When can I expect my estimate?
Usually, estimates are completed and sent out via email within three to four business days. We provide a very detailed scope of work and are meticulous when it comes to detailing out our plans on your home or business.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept cash and checks. Unfortunately, we do not offer any financing options.
