Introduction

I've been painting for 20 years. I'm very passionate about doing a good job and satisfying my customers. My skills include spraying, pressure washing, staining, brush, and rolling. Certain jobs may take more time to complete than others, but I can assure you that the job will be done in fashion.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

My pricing varies, all jobs are different from the way it needs to be prep to the way I can paint it. See some houses have a basic trim package, but some have custom trim packages. So for me once I have seen the job then I can decide what needs to be done and how I can get the job done. And depending on the size of the job I may charge 20% on the start date. My prices are also reasonable and fair.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

My process for working with a new customer is first introducing myself. From there the customer and I will walk their project while they explain their vision to me. Sometimes I lend some advice and sometimes the customer just know what they want. After I secure the job I come in and prep, paint, then clean. Then I inform my customer that the project is completed. My goal is to give quality work in a timely fashion.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

My education and training all stems from on the job training. I Started out as a helper 20 years ago, and over the years I've worked my way up to a supervisor then a foreman. I have gotten great praise over my career for paying attention to detail whether it was a company I worked for, a sub job I was doing or just a repaint for a customer. One thing about my profession is it's always something to learn or a different way of doing things. Trust me when you think you've seen it all, you haven't, so you always have to stay opened minded.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

a friend introduced me to painting in 2001 I liked painting from my first job. I've been working on my craft for going on two decades now. I like to make things look new freshened up and the smiles on the customer faces when I finish and that's what makes me happy with my trade.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have worked with all types of customers. First time home buyers, Military, people who rent that wants to freshen up their homes, people who are moving and want to paint their homes back a neutral color for sell.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

In November of 2019 I had a customer by the name of Elisha. Her and her husband just bought a new home over 3,000 sq ft. We did ceiling walls and all trim, a couple of accent walls and custom painted below her chair rail in her front room. It took 5 days to complete the job,and it was three of us.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
