For the event to be as beneficial as possible, we encourage our clients to have a good idea toward workscope vision and detail (drywall repairs, trim replacement vs. recoat, timeline and budget). It's always helpful to have handy any inspirational colours or objects that may prove helpful during a colour consultation - we are there to help you!.. During, or following, any site visit by URBAN TOPCOAT you have absolutely no obligation to sign for, or agree to, any future work.

A major factor in project planning is the commitment to a timeline, and while client expectations need to include dedicated schedules from us, their deposit shows good faith, ensuring that our efforts toward scheduling their project into a timeline, procuring materials and resources on their behalf, can be carried out with relative surety, knowing that the client is dedicated to the relationship and the project process.

When buying a car, road trips are the perfect way to explore quality and performance; you can trial our quality and performance by using the UTC First Room Agreements Process to both discount further work while gaining the opportunity to evaluate performance, quality, and confirm expectations prior to proceeding further. Many clients use this opportunity to address large scale projects using a "phased" approach so that timelines can be better adjusted to match their budget availability.

Yes. Work scope and product can both be modified at any point throughout the project, but this may at times incur a cost to the home owner depending on the progression of the project, changes in material etc. Making a planned decision up front and completing the UTC Work Scope Check Sheet will always facilitate a thorough consideration to scope detail. Additionally, our milestone review process keeps expectations and project details aligned for you throughout the project so our only finish is a successful one!.. We're not finished until you are happy!

Why hire a professional painter when I can do it myself?.. Thats the DIY mind set, and while the logic can certianly stand the test for some projects, most projects will benefit from hiring a professional - and hiring the top painting company matters. Consider experience, accreditations such as the BBB, and liability insurance for any potential mishap during the project, and also consider safety. A professional will not only have the experience, muscle memory, and insurance coverages, but will also have the right equipment and tooling to perform the job timely and safely so you aren't risking your health and income.

Your return on investment is based on the cost:sale ratio. So while it costs nothing to sell "as-is" we're all aware that in Winnipeg Real Estate, money spent equals greater money earned. While there are caveates, moneysense.ca has surveyed ROI, and home painting is amongst the highest returning projects of up to 165%. So the biggest question isn't "IF" you should hire a quality painter but "WHEN"... If you're thinking of selling your Winnipeg home, be sure to get your painting done early. The last thing you can afford, is to miss a sellers market because you're too busy prepping it when you should be hanging a "FOR SALE" sign on it.

A real professional will have three things in mind, business requirements, gaining your business, and making you happy - each of these should already be reflected in your quoted price. That being said, while there isn't always a lot of wiggle room based on the season, there's always a win-win scenario in the conversation - so the short answer is: yes - negotiate!....

While community social media pages can be a great resource, reach out to coworkers, friends and family. Who do you know who has had painting work done?... Where do you go where their space has inspired you?... Ask who did the work. Another absolutely great lead is to ask the experts at your local paint stores (Dulux, Benjamin Moore, Cloverdale etc.) Call or visit your local retailers and ask them for their recommended contractors.

A quality painting company will always provide a dated detailed quote on company letterhead that includes company contact information, accreditations, insurances, quote duration, and describes the project process and level of detail, the product to be used, estimated project start (start date +/- two days), estimated project duration, as well as any caveates, expectations for the client relating to access, pets, payment terms etc, and the details of the company guarnatee. This will provide the buyer the ability to compare quotes in full, pricing and workscope in written detail for their records.

While Winnipeg painting contractors typically charge by the square foot, each contractor should know their business well enough to understand their overhead to price your project accordingly. Getting multiple quotes is crucial and getting quotes from contractors in your area often brings down the price as costs like transportation/fuel are lower for the contractor as is their daily travel time. So while contractors can vary between $1-$6 / Sq.' with such a huge variation, always ask to see their work, references and accreditations - quality, cost and service typically go hand in hand...
