JOE IS EPA CERTIFIED IN LEAD BASE PAINT!

Estimates……Comparing Apples and Oranges?

 

This is a very slippery slope indeed.  I give my estimates based on my 33 years of experience and my craftsmanship.   I used only the top quality of paint and materials.  Interior paint itself can cost anywhere from $12.00 to $50.00 per gallon.  Other materials vary in cost as well, cheap paint rollers leave fuzz on the wall while inexpensive brushes leave streaky marks.  I use only the highest quality materials to insure the best results.  Also included in the cost are primer, sandpaper, painter’s tape, drop clothes, plastic,  solvents, special tools needed for the job, and any other materials needed to do a professional job. And of course, you need to cover other business costs, i.e. business licenses, advertisement, insurance.  And if needed, employee wages (I do not hire inexperienced painters)!

I’m always on the job site.  I do not start a job and then leave to start another job.  All jobs are given a start and completion date (weather pending).  I do a thorough and complete walk through with the client at the end of each job.

 

So, as you can see, it is very difficult to compare another painter’s estimate to mine, I do not know what standards they are using for their estimate. Example:  Are they using $12.00 paint or $50.00 paint? Or, are they using left-over paint from prior jobs, mixing and tinting paints? THIS I DO NOT DO!!!!

 

 Perhaps the best way to find a good contractor is to ask around.  Successful word of mouth advertising starts with satisfied customers.

 

If you don’t know anyone who has had recent work done, check with your local paint store (not a big home improvement store; most professional painters prefer to work with local suppliers) Talk to the person behind the counter; describe your project and ask for recommendations. 

 

A contractor who consistently purchases high-quality paints is typically concerned for the long-term success of the project.

 

On-time payment of the contractors store account generally means cash is flowing into the painting business- this means he has completed projects and satisfied his customers.

 

Using the same store for many years means the business is a well-established one, likely to provide good customer service and honor warranties.

 

F.Y.I. 

 

All said and done, the old saying is true, “You will get what you pay for”!

 

Yes, many times I given an estimate, the client took a lower estimate and then called me within a year asking why is the paint peeling?  Now, I have to scrape, caulk and prime the old paint and start all over (this will cost more than the original estimate)!

QUALITY, HONESTY AND VALUE!

“A Little Background”

  Joe came from a family of painters.  His grandfather was a painter from Germany, who  taught his son-in-law, who in turn, taught his son (Joe).

Nothing but absolute perfection was accepted by his grandfather!  This is still the case today, Joe strives for perfection.  Joe not only owns Just Joe Painting, he is on each and every job, from beginning to the end.  He always completes every job with a final walk through with his clients. 

Joe began his apprenticeship in Carmel, California working for his father’s painting business.  After many, many years he became a Master Craftsman.  Their clientele were many of the “well known” in Carmel.  After some years, the company moved to New London, New Hampshire.

After many years working for his father, Joe felt it was best to try it on his own, So… 

JUST JOE PAINTING.
