The Best Residential Painter

So you’ve decided that your home needs to be repainted, but you certainly don’t want to hire any joe blow with a paintbrush. We know how stressful it can be to waste time and money hiring a paint company, only for your home to look worse than before. Trust me, I have personally dealt with bad painters and so I feel your pain. Before my wife and I opened a local painting company right here in Kyle, Texas, we used to flip homes. A lot of the homes we flipped needed to be remodeled so we were constantly in search of great painters. What we found instead, were people who always claimed to be professional painters, but never seemed to know what they were doing.

Some of our experiences were downright horrible. We had painters that we paid money to that would literally disappear for weeks and their cell phone would go straight to voicemail. We had painters who would quit halfway through the project or ask for more money to keep working. Throughout the rehab, it seemed my wife and I spent most of our time trying to either track down our missing painter or persuade them to just finish the work they had been paid to complete. Through a lot of trial and error, we developed a system to help ensure we hired great painters every time and here it is:
Step 1: Call Nice Guy Painting
Step 2: Let us give you a completely stress free painting experience Ok…ok that was meant to be a joke. Kind of. While we want to serve all our neighbors in Buda, Kyle, and San Marcos, we understand that a lot of you want to get several bids and do your due diligence before hiring a company. So as promised, here is our step by step guide to help you do just that.

Step#1: Google painters near me or best painters near me.

Step#2: Make a list of the companies closest to you.

Step#3: Study the Google reviews of all the companies on your list and get it down to the top three.

Step#4: Call them. While calling the top three companies on your list you should be asking and answering the following questions.

Did they answer your call quickly? If not, did someone get back to you the same day?

  • Did the person you spoke with seem KNOWLEDGEABLE an EXCITED to help you?
  • Did they offer to give you a FREE estimate?

Step 5: Set up an estimate (this should be free). During this phase you should be asking the following questions:

  • Did they show up on time? If they showed up late, did they communicate that to you?
  • While discussing your project with them in person were they patient, or did it seem like they are were trying to get out of there as quick as possible?
  • Prior to leaving the in person estimate, did they ask you if you has any questions? If they did, these are the most important questions you should always ask in my opinion:

1. What brand of paint and caulking will you be using?

No matter how good your painter, if they try to use cheap paint and caulking, you will not get a quality paint job. At Nice Guy Painting we only use Sherwin Williams products unless something different is specifically requested by our clients.

2. Are you insured?

Mistakes and accidents can happen. Your painter should provide you with peace of mind and carry a general liability policy. At Nice Guy Painting, we carry a 1 million dollar general liability policy.

3. Do you offer a warranty?

Most professional painters will provide some sort of guarantee. At Nice Guy Painting we provide a 2 year limited labor warranty.

4. How much to get started?

Most professional companies require you pay half the total amount to secure your date. I would NEVER pay someone in full before the entire project is completed.

5. Do you offer financing?

At Nice Guy Painting, we offer our clients financing options that allows them to pay for their project over time by making affordable monthly payments. Please visit our website or give us a call for more details. Finally, we always recommend not hiring anyone that doesn’t provide an estimate in writing. At Nice Guy Painting we email all of our clients a detailed estimate, and our price does not change unless we are requested to add-on additional work. If you are looking to get your home repainted, and want to work with a true local business here in Hays County, call Nice Guy Painting at 512-888-9616. We would love the opportunity to serve you!
