Denver Painting Estimates - Why Are They Different?

As Spring is upon us - and Denver Area Home owners are
looking for a Professional Denver Painting Contractor's to bid on
their Exterior or Interior Painting Projects.

You do your due diligence and talk to 3 different Denver Painting
Contractors.

You find that 3 different estimates from 3 different Denver Painting
contractors are much different in price.

One is pretty high - But has a really good estimator who you like.

One is reasonable - Seems to be a good company

The third is much lower - And a very "like able" and you get along
with this Denver Painting Contractor the best! Even though he
is driving a beat up old Ford Truck, He seems trustworthy!

Oh -then to your astonishment -- the lowest guy offers to beat ANY
price by 20%...

Wow -- Now you are really impressed -- you can get your Denver home
Painted...Cheap!!

Now - how do you decide? What is it that makes your project so
different in price?

To your surprise -- although you liked the last Denver Painting
Contractor - and he seemed very safe -- you should be aware of
some very important points:

1. What type of Prep Work Is being done?

The prep work is an important step and could be the difference
in whether your Paint Job lasts the test of time - without
proper "prep work" your paint may not take to your surface
and cause major problems.

2. What type of Paint is going to be used?

Your Denver Painting contractor may be cutting corners by
buying the "cheapest" paint like "Contractor Grade" Paint.
Paint that is watered down and not meant to last very long.
Contractor Grade Paint and Colorado weather do not go
well together!

3. Is your Denver Painting Contractor Insured with Workman's Comp?

Not a big deal right? Wrong! If your Denver Painting Contractor
gets injured while painting your home, and they do not carry
workman's comp insurance - you COULD be liable and
have a hefty hospital bill in your hands!

It is understandable that "price" is a big concern -- but when
comparing Denver Painting Estimates - make sure you are comparing
"apples to apples" and understand that by choosing the "cheapest"
Denver Painting Company -- You could be "costing" yourself more
in the long run by your paint job having to be done again.

And in the short run if a painter is injured -- that could cost a lot of undue
stress and money!
