You love your home. It’s where you brought your first baby. You can remember the day the puppy chewed the trim in the hallway. And the first party you hosted. And a hundred other firsts. At least.

Now it’s time for a fresh coat of paint, a new look for an old friend. How do you paint it perfect? By picking the  right professional.

Local painters are invested in your community. They live, work and shop in the same places that you do. They’re invested in the community as much as you are. Staffed by  talented employees  that take pride in their work, local professionals are in the business of building long-term relationships.

Do your homework and find a company that interacts with the community.  A professional painter that gives back  likely approaches their work from a place of service and goodwill. Who better to collaborate on your project? It’s an excellent starting point.

Choose a full-time, professional painting contractor.  They’ll know the ins and outs of painting in your local environment. They’ll be familiar with local ordinances. They’ll have worked with neighborhood coalitions in historic districts. And they’ll have both the tools and the experienced craftspeople to do justice to your home.

Every good painter knows that the key to a quality paint job and a happy client is preparation. Detail-oriented preparation begins with the job estimate. A professional painter will assess your home during the initial evaluation and provide a complete  estimate  that includes all surface preparation to do the job right the first time.

If you do your homework, ask for references, and pick the perfect painter now, you’ll be set with a painting partner that will keep your home looking fine for years to come. It’s all part of sharing the same community, and it benefits everyone.
