Paintingprofessional….this is a good thread!
Well done for brining it up and it’s a shame no one has answered.
So I will.
I get my tradies from my knowledge of who’s around and good in my town.
But most of my clients get them from the Yellow Pages or word of mouth, which is the best.
Painters…..I hate to say this, but they are the annoyance of my profession!
NOT all, I have just got myself the best one I have ever had.
Quotations need to be realistic…..I know how much work goes into painting a house, if it’s done right. You as a contractor should have that one worked out, and I’m sure you have.
I stay away from the cheapest quote, as I find their work MAY resemble their quote.
I think painters should do as my painter has just done, give names as referrals for their work. This makes clients feel at ease about the person being honest and proud of their work
I can say as a colour consultant……I can suggest as many colours as I like to a client and come up with the nicest scheme, but if the painter does a bad job, the whole effect is lost.
