Choosing a Decorator

Picture
When choosing a painter & decorator you should be sure that they are capable of completing the work to the standard you expect before they start. If you don’t, then you can end up being both disappointed and spending more money to get the work done properly. Most decorating services will be able to show you examples of work they have carried out previously.

It is wise to meet your decorator face-to-face, in order to acquaint yourself with your decorator, and so you can be sure he will stick to your design ideas. A face-to-face meeting allows you to fully explain your ideas, and perhaps accept advice on ideas or compromises to save money. When meeting the decorator, you should also request a written quotation and make sure you know exactly what’s included with the quote/estimate.

Often price is a major consideration, but should it be the only one? You will likely want a quality finish that will last and sometimes choosing the cheapest can be a false economy. A much cheaper quote may suggest the use of inferior and less expensive products/paints. Labour costs may be trimmed as preparation is given a lower priority or corners may be cut.

Redecorating your home should be a pleasurable experience, and the decorator you hire should make the whole task as simple and as stress free as possible. Ask for references, and if possible, interview the decorator to reassure yourself that they will follow your plans, and that you feel you can trust them.
