 Choosing a Local Interior Painting Company in Sterling, Virginia

When you find a great mechanic, the perfect barber, or an excellent accountant, you stick with them. Finding that person, however, is not always easy. What about interior house painters? Is it hard to choose an interior painting company in Sterling, Virginia? It doesn't have to be!

Even though the Sterling area has many interior painters to choose from, there is a tried and true method that can help you select the best local painter for your needs. There are three steps to the process:

  1. Gather names
  2. Collect estimates
  3. Try one out

In order to help you get the best interior painting company for your Sterling home, let's take a look at each of these steps in more detail.

Gathering a List of Sterling House Painters

An internet search is likely to be your first place to look, and it's not a bad idea. In fact, that is probably how you found this article! Still, there is a better way than asking Google or Siri for some names.

Instead, begin by asking your friends, neighbors, coworkers and family members here in the Sterling region. Find out who they have worked with and what the experience was like. A personal referral is a far better way to find out about a local painting company than anything you can find on your phone or browser.

As you continue your research, both online and in person, narrow down your list of options by checking out online reviews on sites like Google, Yelp, Angie's List, HomeAdvisor, and so on. Remember that a small handful of negative reviews would be normal, so don't be turned off by that tiny minority. Instead, look for consistent problems or complaints before you rule someone out.

Ask Your Local Painters for Estimates

Once you have a list of three or four Sterling interior painters, it is time to contact them. Some painting companies provide an online estimate request form, while others are easiest to reach by phone or email. Whatever method you use, ask these companies for a free estimate, and see how the process goes.

Here are some things to evaluate as you go through the estimate process:

  • Timeliness: Does the estimator arrive at the scheduled time? How long does it take them to get back to you with an estimate?
  • Communication: Are they proactive and responsive in their communication? Are they clear and polite?
  • Professionalism: Do they have company vehicles and uniforms? Is the estimate on company letterhead? Is the conduct of the employees respectable?
  • Credentials: Ask for their proof of licensing, as well as proof of liability insurance and Worker's Compensation insurance. They should not hesitate to give you this proof.

As you compare the estimates, the price is important, but other details are of equal (or even greater) weight. For example, how many coats of paint will they apply? What level of surface preparation will they perform? Exactly which surfaces are included or excluded?

Finally, ask your interior painting company about their guarantee. How long is it? Does it include labor, or materials only?

Take the Plunge: Hire the Painter for an Interior Project

Once you have compared the Sterling interior painter options, it is time to choose one and try them out. If you have a really good impression of a company, go ahead and hire them for a major project. On the other hand, if you have any hesitation, you could always hire them for a small interior painting job, such as a bedroom or a bathroom. Give the company an opportunity to impress you with their customer service and craftsmanship!

Interior Quality Painting Fairfax Virginia

Dear Rick,

This is a long overdue comment regarding the services Williams Professional Painting provided in painting our home in Fairfax.

First of all it was a pleasure to work with you, Rick, on the estimate, and we felt the price you quoted us was very reasonable for the scope of the job.

I lost the card your painters gave me in the chaos of packing the house – so unfortunately I don’t remember their names, but they were great and I would be happy to have

them in our home again!

The painters were here each day well before the time to start. They were extremely courteous, and usually they left things cleaner than they found them.

We were in chaos trying to prepare for moving, but they were very accommodating; letting me know I got to choose which room they would work on on any given day

so I could stay one room ahead of them clearing out clutter.

As for the quality of the painting it was very good!

I have recommended Williams to our Realtor and if we were staying in the area and needed painting again I would not hesitate to use Williams.

Thank you so much for your excellent service!

A very pleased client from Alexandria, VA

Dave,

Les did outstanding work - looks brand new. He went out of his way to research the exact match on paint, and also astutely noted that he probably needed to ensure the paint work he did after refinishing the seams coalesced with the balance of the hallway paint. I am very pleased, and you would be too. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

The house looks beautiful!

Bob and I are very pleased with the outcome of our painting project. The house looks beautiful. Many of our neighbors have seen your work and have been very impressed. Hopefully some more work will come your way.

We want to give a big thanks to your crew. Lisa was so helpful in the color selections. She also answered many questions on other ideas and always led us int he right direction. Walter and his guys were amazing. They are true professionals and take pride in the work they do. We really appreciated all the time they spent on prepping our walls. They corrected so many of the builder's mistakes. The crown molding that was added really finishes off each room. Give a special thinks to Walter, Carlos, Edwin, Gustavo, and Daniel. Tell the guys that our dog Maisie misses them and Walter can visit her anytime.

We are planning on contacting you again in the Fall to finish off our painting project. That will be the two upstairs guest bedrooms and bath and the garage.


B. and P.

Very responsive in their communication with us.

They provided an accurate estimate, purchased paint and other supplies, painted about 3/4 of the rooms in our house, moved all furniture and replaced everything as they found it, cleaned up and were very responsive in their communication with us.

Thank you for an excellent staff and for quality work!

Milton,

I wanted to send a quick note this evening to let you know how happy I am with the exterior painting work. The guys finished up tonight, working very late in order to complete everything before the heavy rain starts early tomorrow, and the house looks fantastic!

I also want you to know what a terrific team you have, so professional and always gracious. They worked meticulously each day (I don’t even think I saw them eat lunch!), and they were always ready to explain anything they were doing whenever I asked questions. My experience with your company has been wonderful and I look forward to working with you again early in 2017 to complete my interior plaster repair and painting project.

Thank you for an excellent staff and for quality work!

Williams Professional Painting

Hello,

We are writing to express our thanks to Dagobarto for doing such a wonderful job painting the room we plan to use as a nursery for our new baby.

The prior paint job was not great and he did a fantastic job putting on the new color and trim, as well as cleaning up the mess that was already there. He was prompt, attentive, and professional and my husband and could not be happier with the results. The nursery looks fantastic.

Thanks again and we will certainly consider your company for paint work, and of course recommend your business to others we know.

Thanks,

A Professional Interior Painting Project

Hi Dave,

Gabriela mentioned that I should send a note to you when I called to let her know how happy we were with the services that Jose, JB, and Rodrigo provided. Jose and Tim found a great team to help us finish the job when we determined that we needed a team with experience with durarock instead of drywall. Jose was patient and very attentive to our concerns.JB and Rodrigo replaced part of our walls and repainted the damaged walls and ceiling. Their work is beautiful. I can't even tell there was ever water damage in those areas. They also took great care in making sure our furniture was protected and to minimize dust. Their clean up exceeded expectations. Thanks for sending over such a great team! We look forward to working with them again in the future.

Kind regards,


E.A

Great job!

A Review from a returning client.

Dear Williams Professional Painting,

This is my second time to call on Williams for painting at my condo. I researched carefully the first time and chose Williams due to the many wonderful personal endorsements and the recommendations by professional publications/institutions.

Just like the first time, the job was very professional from the person who came to do the estimate to the painters who actually did the job---Ricardo Salas and Cristian. They painted my bedroom--walls, trim, ceiling and patched a corner wall in the living room -- everything looks great --a very professional job. And, other than the beautiful new bedroom I have and the smell of new paint I would not even know they had been in my house.

Thank you all for the wonderful work you do.

Regards,


R.W

A Review for an outstanding job.

Amy,

Please see my post on Facebook. Bryan and Daniel did an outstanding job for us today and we couldn't be more pleased. Thanks again for the outstanding job.

Exterior Painting And Carpentry. Alexandria, VA.

I had a third-story gutter that was drip-leaking over my deck. I would like to commend Juan Maldonado and his helper for inspecting, ascertaining the problem, and rectifying it. He reviewed the problem, recommended the fix, and after the go-ahead, proceeded to implement it.

It will take another hard rainfall to determine if the repair eliminated the issue completely, but the measures taken by Mr. Maldonado and his crew were well-thought out from his experience, and executed very professionally.

Thanks,

M.M

A Very Happy Client

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know that my husband and I could not be more pleased with our experience with Williams Professional Painting. First, despite a small mix-up in the scheduling, Yanize was very kind, professional and understanding, and she immediately put me at ease and was able to very quickly resolve the issue (and I was so relieved that Williams was able to work within my scheduling needs). The interior painting work itself was beautifully done, and the painting team, Dagoberto and Carlos (along with Franklin on the first day) were professional, skilled, courteous and considerate. They arrived right on time each day and worked very hard, producing beautifully painted rooms. I felt very much at ease with them in our house and appreciated the attention to detail of their work. They really went above and beyond in their painting work, even patching up an extra small area that had some scratches. This was very generous and really stands out in my mind. They also worked hard cleaning up all of the painting materials and dust afterwards. In short, our experience with Williams was a wholly positive one, and I would not hesitate to use Williams again and will be recommending you to others. Thank you for making our home beautiful, and for making the process as easy and painless as possible.

(I should also mention that we enjoyed working with Jose, our estimator, who was also very professional and responsive, and I appreciated his advice on painting needs for our home.)

And again, I really can't say enough about how pleased we are with the work of Dagoberto and Carlos, and the whole Williams team. Thank you again!

(I will also be placing reviews on Angie's List and Yelp.)

A nice review for Franklin

Facebook Review

We use Williams several times a year to keep up with our home. Inside or outside they do a great job. This week was a tough job of wallpaper removal and then prime and paint the master bathroom. Dagoberto and Edwin did a great job and were a pleasure to have around all week.

A review on an ongoing project in Washington, DC

Jose – I just wanted to say how pleased I am with how things are going. I find all the workmen pleasant and hardworking. I have had to leave the house for a few hours most days and I am totally comfortable leaving things in their hands. The newly painted rooms look stunning. I can’t believe it’s my home. The repair of the water damage in the 2nd floor ceiling areas is first rate. The PVC was put up on the most blistered outside trim today. Tomorrow (Wednesday) there will be someone finishing up the interior (mostly in the study) and someone painting outside. The closets off the study have had the wall paper removed and primer applied. That had to be particularly tedious work not to mention demanding physically due to the constricted space involved. The forecast for the next couple of days is for a high in the mid 80’s and dry. That’s a lucky break for us.

Thanks for everything. I think my neighbor has called WPP for an estimate on a job in her family’s home. Word spreads quickly.
