Sharper Impressions Painting has warned homeowners for years to hire a reputable, sustained painting company when hiring a paint contractor. The decision not to, haunts many homeowners and their wallets.  Take into consideration, the unfortunate case of Debbie B.

Sharper Impressions was contracted to paint the interior of Debbie B.’s home many years ago.  She was happy with the work and our service.  Years later, she decided to paint the exterior as well. She chose to hire an individual painter who would perform the work slightly cheaper than the other bids she had received from local, established painting firms.

She paid an $1100 deposit, and then the contractor completely disappeared.  His cell phone number was disconnected, his email address wasn’t valid and there was no way of contacting him.   She was out a lot of money with no other options, and an unpainted home.

Unfortunately, Debbie B learned the hard way; for that exact reason homeowners should only hire a professional painting company. No painting customer should have to pay a deposit, ever. Good painting companies offer a guarantee with their work. Established paint contractors also offer extended warranties and continued support for years after the project is complete. Knowing the company has been around for awhile, in Sharper’s case 20 years, allows the customer to have peace of mind that their painting contractor is not going to disappear.

Whether your project goes good or bad, Sharper Impressions Painting will be available to fix any issues or continue to help you finish a your new paint project.

Too many homeowners fall victim to a fly by night painter. You should never have to take a risk like paying a deposit.  The benefits of going with a professional company far outweigh the risks of hiring someone not established.

Does your home’s exterior need a face lift? The most obvious sign that your home needs new paint to protect it from the elements is cracking, flaking and peeling. Take a walk around the outside of your home and examine the siding and trim. If you see one or more areas where it is no longer smooth, it’s time to call Sharper Impressions Painting. We can help.

Cracking and peeling starts small and spreads. Your exterior paint may have superficial cracks across the surface. Take a close look at the edges and the corners where two exterior walls meet. If paint is starting to chip and peel back from the edges, it’s time for a new paint job. Sharper Impressions will put two fresh coats of long-lasting paint on your home. You choose the color. We do the work.

Our painters at Sharper Impressions love pets. We want yours to be safe while we are hard at work repainting your home’s interior. Here are a few tips to prevent any mishaps or health problems when you have your home’s interior repainted.

Four-Legged Friends

There are a few things to consider for hamsters, guinea pigs, cats, dogs and other furry friends when Sharper Impressions is working in your home. Give them a vacation. Take them to a friend’s house or their favorite kennel for a day or two three. Since animals’ noses are much more sensitive than human noses, the paint fumes may bother them. Their bodies are smaller and they may feel the stronger effects from the fresh paint as it dries. We do use low-VOC paints, but that is not enough for our small furry friends.

Fish and Reptiles

Pets in tanks, such as fish and reptiles, should be moved to another portion of the house in a well-ventilated area and have the tank covered with breathable fabric for extra precaution. When Sharper Impressions is  painting the entire house, consider giving your pets in tanks a vacation, too.

If you are unsure, ask your local veterinary professional for advice on your particular pet.

One of the advantages to having a Sharper Impressions Painting contractor on the job is that you will be satisfied with the project when we are finished.

Sharper Impressions painters create a professional look by taping off edges and borders. This creates crisp, clean lines. We use drop cloths or tarps to prevent splatters and drips on the surface below.

Not only are you given the opportunity to walk through the completed work areas with your painter, we will make sure you are happy with it.

Upon completion of your job we will clean up after ourselves so that the only way you will know Sharper Impressions Painting has been there is the fresh clean look and beautifully painted interior or exterior surfaces.

Sharper Impressions Painting – Planning Ahead for Success

When preparing your home interior for Sharper Impressions Painting, there are a few things that you can do before we arrive to make things go more smoothly for us so that we can do a better job for you.

Remove any books, papers, wall hangings and furniture from the room or rooms to be painted. If possible, furniture that cannot be removed from the room should be moved to its center before Sharper Impressions painters arrive.

Make plans for children to be in another part of the house under a parent’s watchful eye, at school or at daycare while Sharper Impressions Painting contractors are in the house. Although we do like kids, children tend to be curious and want to explore wet paint and visit with house guests busy at work. While we’re prepping and painting, it is best for them to be in a place where our Sharper Impressions painters are not.

Sharper Impressions looks forward to making your home interior painting project a positive experience and something you will be satisfied with for years to come.
