If you are in need of a paint job for your home or business, getting on a painting contractor’s schedule is an important step. While you may believe that painting your own home or hiring a quick paint job may be more convenient, there are several reasons why hiring a professional painting contractor is worth the wait.

A Higher Return On Your Investment

The first reason why it is worth it to wait for a quality painting contractor is because you will get a higher return on your investment. Painting the walls of your home or business can drastically change the way that your room looks. This can be either a good or a bad thing. If you hire a high quality contractor to do the job, then your walls will likely come out looking beautiful, smooth and clean. 

However, if you hire a painter that will do the job at any time, it is likely that your walls will not look as clean or professional. This is because these types of contractors are usually just looking for a quick buck. Hiring a high quality painting contractor, such as those employed by Rosewood Painting, ensures that you get your money’s worth. Also, hiring a great contractor will ensure that you get a return on your investment by adding value to your home with a pristine paint job.

Looks Better And Lasts Longer

The whole point of hiring a painting contractor is to update and to improve the look of your home or business. Paint can add a whole new dimension to your home or business. Just by adding a splash of color with a coat of paint, your rooms can become cozier or more professional. What you do not want is a poor paint job, ruining any potential effect that a beautiful color of paint could have on your building. That is why it is crucial to hire a skilled painting contractor.

Also, when you hire a quality painter, they will go through all of the steps to ensure that your paint job lasts like it should. This includes using superior paint as well as different techniques to keep your paint looking great for longer. We at Rosewood Painting do not just slap paint on your wall. We are meticulous in how we prepare and execute a paint job in order to provide you with long lasting results.

It’s Worth The Wait

It is worth it to wait to get on a quality painting contractor’s schedule because not only will they be able to provide your business or home with an exceptional painting job, but they will also use excellent materials. Sometimes the reason why it is difficult to schedule a high quality painter is because they are waiting on getting the best of the best when it comes to paint or other materials. 

It is also important to keep in mind that the best of any industry or field will have a lot of clients, because they are good at what they do. This certainly goes for painting contractors. If the painter that you are considering has a full schedule for a while, that means that they are worth the money and the wait, because they provide quality services and materials.

A good paint job and a beautiful color will help your home in more ways than one. Continue reading to learn about several different paint colors that will increase your property value this year.

Paint Colors That Will Increase Your Property Value

It is important to note that fashions and interior design trends will change over time. Due to this fact, it may be helpful to stick to neutral, classic colors when painting your home to increase your home’s property value. However, the following paint colors are simply suggestions based on what tends to sell. A fresh coat of paint of any color will brighten up any space, especially if the walls have experienced wear and tear. To get the greatest return on your investment of paint, consider using one or more of the following colors.

Light Brown,Tan, And Beige

While this color may air on the dull side, a warm light brown color can greatly enhance an interior room. Not only does light brown mask any stains well, but it also gives a room a certain coziness. Really any color that falls into the warm neutral color category is a good bet. Tan, beige, light brown, gold, and gray are all great choices for making your rooms warm and inviting. The reason why this color palette increases property value is because it allows potential buyers to be able to envision themselves in the house, as the color of the walls match all sorts of different upholstery and furniture.

Blues

Another great color to use on the interior of your home is blue. Specifically, light and airy blues are fantastic for bathrooms and bedrooms. Blue is a calming color and helps homeowners and their families to feel relaxed and comfortable. Also, blue technically falls into the natural/neutral category, so it allows for people to be able to see themselves living on the property. Blue also offers a pop of color while also offering a natural and soft look. 

Cream

One of our last paint colors that will increase your property value is cream. Cream is a great alternative color to white. Although white is another great neutral color, it can sometimes be viewed as boring. Cream is a great choice because it is light like white, but it offers more interest for the eye. Cream also brings warmth to a room. Cream is also a great color to paint the exterior of a home.

Greens

Finally, green is a fantastic choice for painting interior walls. It also falls under the broad spectrum of neutral colors, allowing for potential buyers to see the home as their own. However, green is unique in that it gives a room a brightness and freshness that not all colors give. Green is a great choice for living rooms and kitchens. However, it is advisable to stick to the classic warm dark and light greens. Avoid greens that scream neon.

Taking the time to make proper decisions is the first thing any homeowner should do before contracting any job. If you do your homework up front you will be one of the satisfied owners and not one of the victims. Generally, most dissatisfied construction project victims limit their focus to, “How much will the project cost,” and “When can the work get started.” There are many other questions you should ask before awarding your project to anyone.

Learning about the procedures and products before you contract out a project will save a lot of unknowns and guesswork later on. Certified Contractors Network (CCN) came up with the four P’s of protection. The four P’s are a process that you can refer to when making the decision of who you want to do your work for you.

PROBLEMS: What are the problems that are causing the need for construction?

PRODUCTS: What products and procedures solves those problems?

PEOPLE:Who is the contractor to install the products and how do you qualify him/her?

PRICE: How do you determine if the price quoted is fair and competitive?

We recommend that you carefully evaluate your contractor and make sure they can perform the work to your expectations and satisfaction. A professional contractor will have no problem working through any concerns or questions you may have before the project begins so that you can proceed with trust and confidence. After all studies clearly show that most dissatisfaction involves the low-bid contractor.

When selecting a contractor make sure you take the time to clearly understand their proposal. This is the time to ask questions! Here is a list of questions to ask every contractor you deal with.

“What is the full name and address of the company?”
Be confident that the business is permanently established and can complete the work. This will help ensure the project doesn’t fail and leave you financially harmed.

“Does the company carry insurance and is the coverage adequate?”
A contractor should provide you with a certificate of insurance for Comprehensive Liability, Worker’s Compensation, and Completed Operations Insurance. This protects you in the event of an accident or failed project.

“Is the company a licensed contractor? Is the contractor a member of a trade association and in good standing?”
While being licensed is important a better test is to question the contractor’s commitment to his trade by asking about their involvement in a trade association.

“How long has the contractor been in business?”
The more experience a business has, the better. Under five years is often a sign of an unstable business. 90% of contracting businesses fail within the first five years. At Rosewood we have been a licensed and fully operating business for over 30 years now.

“What is the contractor’s track record for handling complaints?”
Ask the contractor for examples of issues they were able to resolve with past customers. The question is not whether the contractor has had any disputes but rather how those disputes were handled.

“What is the company’s workmanship warranty?”
Typically, contractor warranties are for one year or more. The length of the warranty is not as important as the intent and ability of the contractor being able to stand behind his warranty. Make sure the warranty is believable and fair. Unbelievable warranties should be questioned along with contractors not having a warranty at all.

Some projects require specific questions. When contemplating a specific project refer to these areas to help you brainstorm questions you should be asking your contractor.
Compliance with local ordinances
Product Selection
Manufacturer Warranty Specifications
Clean-Up (Daily!)
Payment Terms
Preliminary Inspection

Following these steps and asking questions up front will save you a lot of headache and time in the long run. Your project is important and your business is important to reputable companies. At Rosewood Painting we encourage questions and communication. We want all of our customers to know that there is a difference when it comes to the quality of our service.
