Comparing Venice, Florida Home Painters' Prices

Bob's not the only one who knows when the price is right! You can, too!

Comparing prices for painters in Venice, Florida is a very important step before you hire a Venice painter. However, you only want the all-inclusive prices because it will ensure you are getting the best price. The last thing you want is a surprise when the painter provides you with the final bill when they are done painting your home. Not even those who like surprises like me, April, want to see that!

 

Some painters in Venice, Florida will actually charge you by the hour. This can be the worst idea ever, even though it seems affordable at first glance. If you opt for this, you don’t know how long it will take for the painters to finish your home. It could take 10 hours or 100 hours – you just don’t know. This isn’t a surprise you want.

 

Think about every time it rains. The painters will have to pack up, leave and come back. These are all billable hours. Since you can’t predict the rain, you want an all-inclusive price from your Venice painter. Otherwise, there’s no way to know for sure what the real price of the painting job is.

 

When you get a quote from a Venice painter, it needs to have a total price on it. This means that is the price you will pay without a painter being able to add anything more to it down the road. You can’t be expected to compare prices between multiple Florida painters until you have a final price from each painter. Remember, the cheapest painter in terms of initial price, can end up costing double another company if the paint fades early and you have no warranty.

 

An all-inclusive price will include everything. This means the paint, the labor, the prep-work, and the warranty. If you’re not sure that it includes everything, don’t be afraid to ask. You may even want to have them write it down in the quote they provide you. This way there is no question about what they will provide and what you will owe them.

 

In our company, we know that what we quote as your estimate is what you pay, whether we go over on our hours or the paint ends up costing more because we used more than we planned. Either way, your estimate, signed by both parties, is our word. We stand behind our word.

 

It’s important to remember that not all painters will offer the same services. Some will paint your home, but you must supply the paint. Others will charge you separately for everything that needs to be done from doors, to frames, to crown molding. Make sure what you want painted is listed in the contract and is clear to everyone involved.

 

You shouldn’t have to pay more to have your home painted than you were quoted on the signed contract. Therefore, you need to take a good look at the quote you are getting and make sure it is all-inclusive. Compare a few quotes and you will see who has the best quote in terms of warranty and what is included in the cost. Remember, if the cost seems low, ask what kind of paint they are using and make sure it’s the best with a long warranty.
