DO I NEED TO HAVE DRYWALL DAMAGE REPAIRED PRIOR?
We are experienced in drywall installation and repair, and minor repairs can be done as part of the painting process.
I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL ESTIMATES, AND THERE SEEMS TO BE WIDE VARIANCE IN THE PRICE. WHY IS THAT?
There are many factors to be considered when reviewing a painting estimate. Unlike Nordic Painting, many new or inexperienced companies may not be licensed or insured. Often, they sub out work, to inexperienced lower rate painters that may not be trained in safety measures or on proper techniques for surface preparation. Another factor could be the quality of the products they are using.
Some paints may be lower in cost but will fade out over a shorter period.
It is important to consider these factors when hiring a painting contractor.
PAINT IS PAINT, SO WHY SHOULD I SPEND MORE WHEN I COULD SPEND LESS?
Just like most products, you get what you pay for. Buying inferior products could actually end up costing you more money in the long run. Higher quality paints have many components that help prime, seal, and increase durability against natural elements. Wether it be interior or exterior, higher quality paint can last up to twice as long as lower end alternatives.
