Exterior painting project

There are many different painters in Toronto, ON and each has a different way of approaching a job, here are a couple of pointers when you are comparing quotes:

Is the painting contractor covered by WSIB and does that painting contractor carry Liability Insurance? A reputable painting contractor’s price will reflect the additional overhead cost of these things.

How detailed is the quote?

Is the level of preparation specified? Things like using a premium primer on exterior wood that is peeling, such as XIM Peel Bond, will make your paint last longer, but will add to the initial cost. Likewise, sanding down glossy areas will promote topcoat adhesion but will require more labour cost than simply painting and hoping.

Is the paint brand and product specified? A painter can say that they use Benjamin Moore, but will they be using top-line Aura or Advance products or will they be using Super Spec which is half the price of Aura. Using lower grade paint will result in a lower cost quote, but it might not give you the end result you’re looking for. The same is true for Sherwin Williams Paints and all the rest, they have their premium products which cost about twice as much as their entry level products.

The most important question is, do you trust the person you are dealing with? Did they come on time for the estimate? Are they professional in their appearance and how they carry themselves? Are they timely at responding to emails and phone calls?

Painting requires attention to detail and if attention to detail is not displayed at the time of the estimate, will it be displayed when the brushes and rollers hit the wall?
