6 Questions to Ask?

What are 6 things to remember when getting a quote to paint your home?

When getting a painting estimate in Hobart or anywhere from a professional painter for your home, there are several important questions you should ask to ensure that you are getting a fair and accurate estimate.

Here are six key questions to consider:

What is included in the estimate?

Make sure that the estimate includes all the necessary materials and labour required to complete the job. This should include a detailed description of things like prep work, priming, painting, and cleanup.

How long will the job take?
Ask the painter to provide an estimated timeline for the project. This will help you plan accordingly and ensure that the project is completed within a reasonable timeframe.

What kind of paint will they be using?

Are they using a notable paint brand. This will help you compare estimates from different painters and ensure that you are getting a fair price.

Are there any additional costs?

Ask if there are any additional costs that may be incurred during the project, such as scaffolding, plant hire, unexpected repairs or additional prep work. This will help you avoid any surprise costs down the line.

Do you offer a warranty or guarantee?

Ask if the painter offers any type of warranty or guarantee on their work. This will give you peace of mind and ensure that you are protected in case anything goes wrong.

Are they insured?

Did you know if a tradesperson, ‘handyman’, cleaner etc attends your property for works and injures themselves and they don’t have insurance you could be liable.

By asking these key questions, you can ensure that you are getting a fair and accurate estimate from a professional painter.

Performance Painting have just painted my ceiling in the lounge room and three cupboards plus the walls and window frames in the kitchen.
A brilliant job has been completed!
The work done has been done so well. It is a 1915 home, so the detail was not easy, and it was done beautifully.

Luke and the team at Performance Painting are the best painters in Hobart. They have completed several jobs for us over the years: a full exterior repaint on a 1950s weatherboard house, almost a full interior repaint, picket fence, and deck. Luke has always been great to deal with - friendly, knowledgeable, skilled and reliable. The quality of their work is impeccable with great attention to detail, and such a clean job site. Highly recommend, these guys are fantastic!

Luke and his team have just finished an exterior painting project on our heritage listed cottage in South Hobart.
Performance Painting were recommended to us by friends who were impressed by their professional manner and highly skilled workmanship.
We are absolutely thrilled with the painting they did for us, from the very prompt and detailed quote Luke provided, the brilliant colour matching he arranged for the lime wash and particular unnamed shade of heritage green we wanted for windows and front door, to the exceptional quality of their work.
It was a very enjoyable experience having Luke and his team at our home.
I highly recommend Performance Painting.

Luke and his offsider were a pleasure to have in my home. On day one the room was cleaned and the painting was completed on day two.

I found Luke of Performance Painting through Dulux Preferred Painters. He was so professional in his on line and phone communication.His quote was delivered in a timely fashion and was competitive with others I received.

Luke has now completed the work as quoted, and it has been performed to the high standard I expected. It was finished in the time frame advised and the cleanup following job completion was much appreciated, especially the re-placement of furniture.

I highly recommend Luke for any painting required.

When you find great trades, they’re like gold. Luke and his team are full of great advice and provide excellent customer service. John, Kane, Pavi and Brodie were fantastic and did a superb job painting the exterior of our home. Punctual, professional, friendly and very skilled. Highly recommend.

We found Luke and his team to be punctual, diligent and professional. We were quoted for 9 or 10 days for the whole exterior of our weatherboard home and the job was completed in 9 days. Can recommend.

Luke and his crew were fantastic. So well organised and worked well as a team. Our house was painted internally and externally in a week. Nothing was a problem for them and their attention to detail was faultless

Performance Painters recently completed much needed painting inside our home.
We are totally delighted with their workmanship and our home has become fresh and a pleasure to live in.
The job was long overdue and involved most rooms in the house - including the large living space.
The home is fifty-four years old and was showing its age. Now it is smiling and the energy is sparkling.
The crew involved were expert painters, most respectful and totally focussed on the job at hand.
There is obviously total trust between management and the painters and ‘only the best’ work will be done.
Communication between all involved was maintained appropriately at all times.
We have already recommended their business to another home improvement company which is carrying out house improvement for us.
We thoroughly recommend Performance Painters - a Tasmanian inter-generational owned and run family business.
