Quick Tip!
Before we dive in, one other word of advice: rather than just budget for necessary repairs, you may want to consider an actual maintenance plan. We’ve seen time and again how drastic the cost savings can be. Plus, a clear maintenance strategy is predictable, easier to control, and can fit neatly into a planned budget. Waiting until there are mayday items that can’t be ignored takes you out of the driver’s seat and is much more stressful and costly. Power washing, wood repair, staining, painting… All of it can be factored into a maintenance plan that lets you care for your property efficiently and effectively.
5 Questions To Ask Your HOA Painting Company
Does your painting company have your back? Here are 5 key questions we recommend asking, helping you to better discern their level of expertise, qualifications, work processes, and workload capabilities.
Preparing Your Painting Budget: A Detailed Estimate Is a Must-Have
Do you really understand your estimate, including the fine print? What kind of surface preparation is not just recommended, but actually included in your project scope? How about color choices and access to professional resources? It’s crucial to get it right the first time with HOA painting, minimizing the impact on your community while maximizing the return on investment.
Should You Hire a Painter Who Uses Subcontractors?
There are times when outsourcing a project that requires a specific skill set makes sense. But there are also painting companies that rely exclusively on subcontractors who are less invested and committed, and often deliver unpredictable results. The benefits of hiring a painter with all in-house employees are too good to miss.
Does your HOA Painting company offer carpentry?
Carpentry and painting often go hand-in-hand, especially when you need wood rot repair, sills replaced, or maybe that new piece of fascia. Rather than juggle another contractor, it’s worthwhile to partner with an HOA painter that also has an in-house carpentry team.
