Hiring a professional painting contractor sounds simple—but many homeowners in Winston-Salem and High Point make small mistakes that can lead to big regrets (and wasted money).
Here are the top five mistakes to avoid when hiring a painter:
1. Choosing the Cheapest Option
Going with the lowest price might seem smart at first—but cheap bids often lead to rushed work, low-quality materials, or lack of attention to detail. You could end up paying more for corrections or repainting later. Your home deserves to be done right the first time—360° Painting delivers quality that lasts, backed by our 2-Year Workmanship Warranty and Flawless Finish Pledge.
Going with the cheapest painter might cost more in the long run if the job needs to be redone or fixed. Your home is where you live every day—invest in having it done right the first time.
At 360° Painting, we deliver long-lasting quality and stand behind our work with a 2-Year Workmanship Warranty and Flawless Finish Pledge—we don’t take final payment until you’re fully satisfied.
2. If your contractor isn’t properly insured, you could be liable for any accidents or damage during the project. Always ask for proof of:
- General Liability Insurance
- Workers’ Compensation Coverage
360° Painting proudly provides proof of insurance so you can feel confident and protected.
3. Skipping a Detailed Written Estimate
A handshake or vague promise isn’t enough. Before any work begins, you should receive a written estimate that clearly outlines:
- Prep work and surface repairs
- Labor breakdown
- Materials and finishes
- Project timeline
We provide comprehensive, no-pressure written estimates so you know exactly what to expect—no surprises.
4. Ignoring Communication & Professionalism
If you’re struggling to get a contractor to respond, show up, or send a quote before the job even starts—don’t expect it to get better once work begins. Delays and miscommunications can derail your project and cost you more time and money.
At 360° Painting, we prioritize clear communication and fast turnaround. We strive to deliver quotes on-site, and if follow-up is needed, we typically turn quotes around within 48 hours.
5. Overlooking Wall Prep Work
Proper prep is the key to a beautiful, long-lasting finish. Skipping this step can lead to:
- Peeling or cracking
- Uneven texture
- Shortened paint life
We provide comprehensive, no-pressure written estimates so you know exactly what to expect—no surprises.
