What Will Be Covered:

Painting your home can almost seem like a DIY project, but it really isn’t. Unless you have previous experience in painting, it can be a little difficult to paint your home by yourself without the right people or skillsets. Hiring skilled house painters in The Woodlands can save you from getting your house all dirty. 

In this article, I will lay out step by step on how to hire a house painting contractor in The Woodlands so that you can save yourself time and headaches when you are deciding to paint your house.

1) Start By Finding House Painters Online

The best place to start finding house painters in The Woodlands is by doing an online search. Check out each painting contractor’s profile and look for before and after pictures. Here are a list of things to look for when searching for a house painter online:

  • Photos of painters working
  • Outstanding before and after pictures
  • Reviews
  • Awards
  • Experience

While painting may seem like an easy project that almost anyone can do, it does take skill and experience. For any painter that you are considering to hire, it’s always best to hire someone who has at least 5+ years of experience in the area.

2) Interview Several House Painting Companies

Interview a few painting contractors in The Woodlands in order to get a general idea on the price  and scope of the project. Some things to review with the house painter is:

  • Whether or not they will move or cover up furniture
  • Prep work such as sanding or pressure washing (for exterior)
  • Amount of coats
  • Type of paint used (we recommend Sherwin Williams)
  • Clean up

Make sure that the painter will give you options or a color chart so that you can select the right paint colors before putting a new color. Painting contractors that will be happy to consult with you on paint colors before the project starts is a good sign that they’ll be a good hire, because you don’t want to paint your home a color that you don’t like.

3) Make Sure the Painter Has a Good History

Before hiring a house painter in The Woodlands, you need to make sure you are dealing with a painter who has a reputable history. Check online to see if who you are dealing with is not a past criminal.

Also, check to see how long the contractor (or company) has been in business. A good rule of thumb to look is 2+ years, but ultimately to ensure the best quality paint job, 10+ years is best.

Does the painter have good reviews? This should also be taken into consideration as well when hiring a house painter in The Woodlands.

4) Check the House Painting Estimate & Review Closely

Before signing the final contract for painting, read it closely. Professional house painters shouldn’t be annoyed by you taking the time to understand the terms of the contract. A good painting contractor will be happy to go over and explain all parts of the contract to you.

Most house painters offer a standard labor warranty, ask the painter if they do offer them, because if they do not, they may be a red flag.

"Mike was great to work with. He explained all that needed to be done to install a quality roof that would last. Had other quotes but other contractors were not as informative and did not include everything that was needed. Mike’s crew was courteous, did an excellent job and completed the work in a timely fashion. If you are not familiar with working with insurance adjusters be sure Mike meets with them when you set up a meeting. This was helpful in my case and made the claims process run smoothly. I am very pleased 😀 with his service and recommend him to my neighbors of which two have used him across from my home."
