Paint Companies San Diego
If you are determined to use the lower or middle bid when receiving paint quotes, make sure you double check the type of paint the contractor will use. They may say they are using premium paint from the local paint store, but some contractors can say one thing and do another. We recently painted the complete exterior trim for a new client in La Jolla who had hired one of our main competitors in town just two years before. We had to completely repaint all the trim that was done by that contractor. Sometimes, trim will only last a few years, but on this home, the owner should have seen a good 5 years on most areas. We repainted it with a product from Sherwin Williams called "Duration" which boasts a lifetime warranty. Of course, we don't think it will last a life time, but it is a very premium paint that will last a lot longer than 2 years! I first thought that the previous painter just did not prep things right, which could be. However, I was talking to another well known painter, Peek Brothers Painting, who said he too repainted a home done by the same painter who used "cheap" paint. The job lasted 2 years, just like the one we repainted. Peek Brothers repainted the exterior with a premium paint, and the owner said it still looks good after five years!
All paint companies in San Diego have low grade, medium, and premium grade paints. A professional painting company like Peek Brothers and our company will give you an honest answer of the BEST products to use on your home. The second thing we will do is never skimp on the preparation, which is the main reason paint fails early! There are many more reasons a company can underbid a professional. You can rely on a true professional to always do the right thing.
