Quick house painting estimates
A simple exercise to find out how much
it will cost to hire a professional
decorator is.. Wait till you see a
painter working on a property down your
street. Ask him if he does private
work!! I know painters and this will
be music to his ears. Tell him what
you want done, and where you live. The
beauty about this way to hire a
great painter is it won't cost a
penny in advertising or phone calls and it cuts
out that expensive middle man.
The common mistake of the owner of a
painting company is that I am a
master painter and decorator that is all
that matters, the business side will take
care of itself. The fact is most
successful painting contractors wear a suit and
not overalls, they never pick up a brush
and if they did they would in all
probability be useless. The companies money is
largely made by tendering and winning profitable
job estimates.
The most successful painting contractors tend to
never stop learning about all aspects of
the building industry not just painting alone.
Some of them start out as painters
then graduate to general building contractors. From
the very beginning some will be thinking
about starting their own company armed with the
valuable knowledge about estimating jobs, sales principles
and crucially estimating jobs that will show
a profit from their early days.
Quick house painting estimates
Prospective customers very often get several painters to
tender estimates. They shop around. A painter
would of course find it useful to
know the competitions bids, but should not
base his price on theirs because their
overheads are bound to be different from his.
Don't be afraid to tender a high price
if the job warrants it. If your
company has a good reputation customers will
take that into account.
