Imagine getting a painting estimate with no stress

Imagine ending the frustration of getting estimates

Getting any type of estimate can be frustrating right? Most companies don't have someone to answer the phone let alone will they call you back and if they do getting them to come out on time is even harder.   

I am not sure what it is with the painting industry but painting companies are even worse at this, it could be that anyone can buy a pair of paint pants and a business card and pretend to be in business.

The issue is they are not trained in business or customer service at all.

They may the best painter around but if they cannot service their clients how do you think your project will go if it starts at all? Do they know they need more than just liability insurance or what taxes are due? I have been around this industry awhile now and I can tell you the answer is no.

When we took a look around at the other competitors if you consider them competitors at all we realized there was certainly something missing and that was the attention to communication from the initial call to the completion of the project so we decided we would end that.

With us, you can schedule an estimate right online, no need to speak to anyone for all the people who love to schedule online. Schedule now 

This was the first thing we have done, you can also chat directly with us through our website at www.ryanamatopainting.com during normal business hours and if you happen to call after hours we brought in a call center to make sure we didn't miss your call.

All this along with our internal checks and balances has made us the number one company prioritizing customer communication. Now we are human so even with all of that something may be missed, we work hard to make sure that doesn't happen though.

We take this so seriously after each project we send out a report card to see how we are doing and get amazing reviews on our client support, we have become friends with so many of our clients it's a great feeling to go out and see everyone and also that they feel comfortable to refer us to their family and friends.

These are certainly things to consider when hiring a company, any company to work around your home, a low price alone does not make a great job, yes you may make it through without a problem but if something comes up don't you want it to be handled quickly or a stress free project in the first place?

We make a point to get you a price on the spot if not the same day, are the other painting companies showing up or getting a proposal they promised right back to you? How has communication been? We send a few text reminders, emails, and a phone call to remind you of an appointment or follow up to answer any questions.  

If you need anything done please feel free to reach out anytime, I can guarantee someone will get back to you. 484-821-7112

Interior Painting Costs

Interior Painting Costs

With Fall here, the weather changing our painting work moves indoors and for someone who has never used a professional painting company before the unknown is always the price.

Pricing for interior painting can vary greatly from company to company and the promises you will hear about can seem all over the place. Not one company will come in and say "we are going to do an ok job" Each one will promise a quality job, everything is done right, top of the line products etc.

There are things beyond the price that may not seem important at the time when you're weighing cost but may cost you in the future.

A good company will have awesome employees, do you know who is coming into your home? We do as we background check each one. They will have written systems and training, companies who use subcontractors will never be able to train their subs or they would be employees, so the quality of their projects wavers from job to job. 

A written warranty, things do happen and when you need help will the other companies come out and take responsibility for them? If it is a paint issue do they have a great relationship with their vendors who can facilitate a solution on your behalf?

All these "unsaid" are where you should really be looking beyond the initial sticker price as we said all companies will promise the world or make unbelievable claims on the time it will take them to complete your work.

In the painting world fast is good for commercial painting not for your home. I wouldn't want the fastest doctor working on me, would you?

The same goes for painting, without the proper prep work, the proper dry time before the nest coats of paint you may have issues or void any manufacturer warranties.

So when looking at the cost, look beyond that first glance of the price tag, knowing the real cost of the project and the value you will receive from your painting company is most important.

 

How to get the best price when painting your home

How to get the best price when painting your home.

When you decide to have your home painted whether it's the interior or exterior you have a few things to do to make sure you get the best price for your project.

Remember you can always get a lower price, that is not the goal here, you want to find the best value for the price, the lowest price may actually be the highest when all is said and done.

How can that be you ask? It's simple, you have three prices to paint your bedroom, let's say $500,$600 and $800

Of course, the $500 is tempting, you only have so much money allocated, they seem fine and anyone can paint, right?

The painting estimate

• But they want you to supply the paint, so you have to take time, run to the store, get the paint. If you don't order enough guess who is running back out for more paint? And hopefully, they don't charge you for the wasted time.
• The will not help with color selections at all, so you have more work to do.
• Maybe they used a lower grade of paint, which means it will not last as long, clean up well and you will be forced to repaint in another year (ADDED COSTS)
• They use subcontractors who are not trained by the same company, you may get a good paint crew and you may not, it's a gamble. 
• They may not be insured and the subcontractor also may not be insured making things very sketchy should an injury happen.
• If something happens who will come back and touch up? Wil they come back at all?
• Is the communication good throughout the process? 
• Is their relationship with the paint manufacturer a good one? Support from Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams surely helps any project should an issue arise.

 What painting actually costs

So that $500 estimate could actually cost you double or triple a year or two down the road by having to repaint the work again or worse yet an accident and your insurance will cost with a deductible.

The lowest price is usually that for a reason, not in every case but the majority of the time. Saving money is great however when it will cost you more, in the long run, you have to be very diligent and think about the goals of the project.

Here are some tips to get a great price when painting your home.

• Develop a relationship with your painting contractor, when you have projects pop up you will have a go-to company and with that usually comes perks such as free upgrades of paint, an extra here and there and knowing who is around your home.
• Know exactly what you want to be done and clearly explain that to your estimator
• Make sure what you said you want to be done is clearly listed in the proposal, many companies will do a completely different job than the one you wanted using cheap paints and materials or untrained labor.

With our company, we offer a free color consultation with a decorator, touch ups once per year and a highly skilled staff of employees
