How to Spend Less Money on Painting

Sunday, June 11, 2006
Most people call us when their home is in desperate need of a paint job, which means more money out of pocket. We all know that owning a home means we have to budget a certain amount of money on maintaining our property. Sometimes it is not wise to spend a large portion of money all at once. Instead of paying to have the entire interior or exterior painted every ten years when it really needs it, consider this option: Try our Painter For a Day™ program. You will be amazed at how much work our skilled painters can get done in just one day. Why can this be a good alternative? It can keep your home in top-knotch shape on a continual basis instead of gradually getting worse until it looks like it is in need of a complete paint job. Some of you may budget to have an auto detailer come and clean your cars or a landscaper to take care of your lawn on a regular basis. This helps keep your car from needing a new paint job and your yard from looking like the Amazon forest. Our Painter For a Day™ program has been a success since the day we started it in the late 1990's. Let me give you an example, just like the detailer cleans your car on a regular basis, we can come in and clean the exterior of your home with a pressured rinse. This helps keep the dirt and elements off your paint job, which prolongs the life of the paint. Another example, instead of stripping your wood thresholds every time they turn gray and look like they're 100 years old, we can come out every couple of years and in no time at all, clean and apply another coat of varnish before they look bad. This can save a lot of money, because we keep a careful eye on your home. We have a number of long-term customers who do not do a complete paint job often, but call once a year to do a small amount of work to keep their homes looking sharp. The cost of our Painter For a Day™ can vary depending on if you desire one painter or two. Currently, the cost for one Project Foreman (most experienced painter) to come to your home is only $570. This includes up to a full day's worth of work, the basic paint supplies, and little or no charge for paint materials.* We recommend that you have a list of things to do so our painter can have a full day of work as this is the minimum charge. *Extra charges for material may apply. These include: certain industrial enamels, specialty products, faux finish materials, and anything over two gallons of paint per day.
