Finding the best painter and decorator in Stoke-on-Trent
If you’ve stumbled on this blog, you’re likely looking for a Painter and Decorator in the Stoke-on-Trent area.
If you’re looking for a good painter and decorator there are a few things you need to consider.
Choose a specialist rather than a general handyman
When it comes to painting and decorating your home, a lot of homeowners choose to do some or all of the work themselves. Some will hire a handyman because they’ll do it for a very cheap price. Now, this can be a great way of saving money, but it’s not always the best way of making sure you get a professional finish.
There’s a big difference in quality between a handyman and a professional who does this for a living. A professional decorator will help you decide on the best materials, wallpaper and paint to make sure you get a professional finish and a room you will be happy with.
How is the decorator going to keep your room tidy?
A true professional will leave the room with no mess. They should put down dust cloths throughout and make sure there’s always something protecting your floors from spills, drips or splatters from paint.
When the job is done, the only place that should have paint on them are your walls and skirting boards!
Get detailed quotes from each tradesman you’re considering
Get at least three tradesmen to look at your job, and ask them to each give you a detailed quote, in writing, that breaks everything down. That way, you’ll be able to compare like with like, and see exactly where your money is going.
However, it may not always be best to go for the cheapest! Make sure you know where they are getting their materials from and what they will be.
Things you might want to consider do they charge per hour/per day, or do they come up with a fixed price for the total job? For large projects, a painter and decorator might ask for a deposit at the start, but never pay the full amount up front! Instead, wait until the project has been completed, and you’ve inspected the work.
Choose someone with experience
Professional painters and decorators work on a variety of projects, from full house renovation to an office refresh. How good are their wallpapering skills? Are you sure they can line up that patterned wallpaper you want? If you can, check out their work if they have examples. Speak to some of their customers (if you can), or check out reviews from places such as Yell.com.
