Our first priority at A Cut Above Paint and Stone Works is to educate our clients on the items they need to know in order to make an informed decision that leaves customers confident we are the obvious choice with whom to do business.

If quality is what you’re paying for it is important to do the job right the first time and that means hiring the right people. Painting is a labor intensive job and it can even be dangerous to health and home if not done correctly. However, when accomplished correctly painting will add real value to your home, not just improving
its resale value.


It can even lower utility bills and create an emotionally pleasing environment when using the best painting products, ideas and application techniques. Painting companies come and go faster than phone books can be printed. Getting your home painted can be frustrating enough without dealing with issues of poor quality. The best way to get the most out of your painting project is to choose your contractor wisely.

There are many signs to look for and we view our business through the same lens you do as a customer and that separates us from several of our competitors. We understand why many contractors work alone! It is not because they get along with most people well or because they like to be part of a team. There are common stereo types in our business and we do not fit into that mold. Selling service in our business is not easy since you must actually do business with someone in our industry to make good on your claims.

How Do I find A Good Painter?


The key to finding a good, reputable painting contractor is to ask questions. Sometimes a lot of questions and see how they answer them. Then try to narrow down your choices to two or three. There is no need to call ten painters unless you are unsatisfied with the answers and time they spent with you. We highly recommend using trusted sources first. The best place to start is with your family, friends, networking groups and co-workers. This is how we, acquire our customers. Word of mouth advertising always starts with satisfied customers.


What are the right questions to ask?

Are you happy with the quality provided by the painting contractor?
Everybody has their own ideas of quality, so you should take a look at their house and judge for yourself. Pay attention to cut-in areas around doors, windows and trim. Are the lines straight and was caulking applied. Interior or exterior doesn’t matter; proper surface preparation always leads to better, more pleasing results.

 

Was their Staff courteous, professional and appear trustworthy of precious things like family members at home during the job?
This is a very important consideration. The entire experience, from beginning to end, needs to be as stress free as possible. People with stay at home spouses can feel uncomfortable if people do not give off a good vibe.

Do they seem to enjoy their job?
If the painter enjoys their job, the quality and attention to details will show in their work. The customers attitude can and will affect the entire paint job so beware how you handle negotiations and disputes.

 

Did the painting company start and finish in a timely fashion?
Arriving at a reasonable time every morning reinforces a schedule. Remember, with an exterior the weather always dictates the schedule.

 

Last But not Least, A good place to find a good Painter is at a Local Paint Store not the Home Improvement Center!

Most professional painters purchase their products from a local supplier, a paint store.

 

They have typically built a reputation, either good or bad, based on the quality of products purchased and their timely payment if a store credit account is used.

  • Purchasing products of the highest quality indicates a true concern for the well being of your home.
  • If a painting contractor primarily purchases from a single source, for years, a reputation has been built with this supplier.
  • On time payment is always a good indicator since Good credit or Bad credit often helps you feel how they may treat your agreement with them. Talk to the people behind the counter and ask questions. Describe your project and ask for any recommendations. Chances are they will know someone that is trustworthy and right for the job.
