Hiring a Langley Park Exterior House Painter

Williams Professional Painting, Inc. BBB Business Review
 Hiring a Langley Park Exterior House Painter

Most of us play favorites when it comes to getting services we need. Rather than choosing a new hairdresser, A/C repairman, dentist and mechanic each time we need help, we tend to stick with someone once we know they do good work. How can you get to this point with an exterior house painting company? How do you sort through all the options for Langley Park house painters, and choose the one you will come back to every time?

We could skip right to the punchline and tell you to hire Williams Professional Painting, but that wouldn't be fair! Instead, let's take a look at a process you can use to select your exterior painting company. Then, when you begin your selection process, we would be honored if you would include us in your considerations.

Narrowing the Field: How to Pre-Screen Painting Contractors

If you search online for Langley Park exterior house painters, you are likely to end up with a vast array of options. How do you sort through these options to get your short list?

A great way to begin is by asking your acquaintances here in Langley Park, such as friends, neighbors, family and coworkers. Ask them which painting contractors they have worked with, and how their experiences have been. These personal referrals are worth much more than information you can find online.

That said, it is also a great idea to search for Langley Park painting companies online, but make sure you read reviews to get an idea who you are dealing with.

Narrow down your list of options to 3 or 4 likely candidates, and then begin your "interview" process.

Using the Exterior Painting Estimate Process as an Interview

You can find out a surprising amount about a painting company by requesting a free estimate and observing them closely throughout the process. Though it takes a bit of time, once you have decided upon your Langley Park exterior painter, you should never have to repeat it!

The first thing to look at is their communication. Do they respond to your requests promptly and courteously? Are they proactive and helpful?

Next, consider the estimate process. Is the estimator helpful or pushy? Does he or she have a professional appearance and demeanor? Does the painting estimator arrive on time? Do you feel comfortable with this person in your home?

Once you have an estimate from each Langley Park exterior painting company, take a look at the details.

  • What level of surface preparation will they do?
  • Will they use primer?
  • How many coats of paint will they apply?
  • What surfaces are included or excluded?
  • Is there a warranty on their work?

Finally, ask your estimator for proof of state licensing and liability/Worker's Compensation insurance. A reputable house painter will be happy to provide you with this reassurance.

If You Are Not Sure, Start Small

Before you hire a painting company to do a major repainting project on your Langley Park house, you might want to start with a small job. For example, you could hire them to paint a garage door, your window trim, or a deck. If you are happy with their work, then you could invite them back to do a whole exterior house painting job.

The workmanship and professionalism of Williams Professional Painting

"The workmanship and professionalism were outstanding. They command a premium price; but they are worth it. I would not think of calling another painting company. We have used them twice."

A Happy Client!

"Both of the men that you sent were excellent and I've very seldom had painters that did such a good job and were so careful. They didn't get a spot of paint on anything other than the walls and they were very polite and as I said they were very careful to cover everything they moved furniture to help me decide on a couple of things and they were very professional and very good. I didn't catch their names but I just wanted you to know that they were good and I do appreciate them. Thank you so much. "

A review on foreman Ricardo Salas

Ricardo Salas did a very good job and also carried himself throughout the day in a very professional manner. Ricardo took the time to discuss the job and what the expectations and results would be.

Overall very pleased with Ricardo.

Williams’ painters kept the workplace immaculate!

I can’t say enough about the care and attention to detail that Ricardo Salas and Enriquez provided in repainting a dozen old, peeling 6 over 6 wooden window frames on my home that were down to bare wood in places. I am confident that my 1941 windows are in good shape for many years to come. Williams’ painters kept the workplace immaculate and as a bonus they were great dog-watchers! I was able to let my dogs out the backyard while I was at work, because they were careful to close gates as they went back and forth so no escapes occurred. They treated my property as if it were their own.

A review for a foreman Juan Maldonado

This is in reference to Juan Maldonado's work at my home from 08/24 to 08/26. Juan was very polite, neat, and on - time, and he and his assistant Daniel did a very good job patching, caulking, and painting. I would use him again.

Sincerely,

A Review for Williams Professional Painting

Great job. Courteous and professional crew. Rick oversees the project on a daily basis. My house was painted about 18 months ago. I recently noticed a small peeling spot. Rick sent someone out at their first convenience. In addition to that repair, the painter found a few other minor repairs as he is specked i in addition to that repair, the painter found a few other minor repairs as he inspected the entire exterior of my house. He did a great job and I was very pleased. Will definitely have them back when I need painting again.

Interior Painting Project in Alexandria, VA

The process of getting the estimate all the way through completion of the job could not have been more seamless or easy. We just purchased a new construction condo and initially thought we could do the painting ourselves but decided to at least get an estimate from a professional. The owner of the company actually did our estimate and was kind enough to point out serious mistakes in the builders painting job (such as the builder did not sand the walls before applying paint so the paint was rough in several spots). The estimate to paint our entire first level, the stairwell and the upper level hallway was incredibly reasonable and quite surprising. So we hired Williams right away. We were able to schedule the job quickly and the painting was completed in two days. They did a perfect job. There is no better way to qualify the quality of the work. We are so happy that we decided to hire Williams Professional Painting and they will definitely have our business in the future.

The final result is beautiful

Ricardo Salas was the foreman on the two man crew that repaired extensive damage and painted my house this week. He arrived to the minute on time, and worked with discipline and skill all day every day. He went above and beyond to make the work perfect..even painting the tiny ceiling space above the huge window near the ceiling. He was polite and courteous.He is one of the finest workers I have ever seen at my home. The final result is beautiful. Thank you.

This is just to give my foreman, Ricardo Salas, and his team high marks for the painting project they are completing today at my home. Ricardo and his crew were punctual, respectful of my furnishings, and eager to please. Their work is top notch and they clean up after themselves very thoroughly. Ricardo helped me re-hang heaving pictures, which was very helpful. He is a great asset to the Williams Painting Company. Many thanks.

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.)

Thanks so much!

Good Afternoon,

I hadn't gotten a chance to send a review of our experience with the WPP team for the house painting we recently had done. Lisa made great color recommendations for us, was patient as we tried to figure out what would compliment our space the best, and we were very happy with her service. The paint crew that we had, Dagoberto and Edison, worked quickly and efficiently. A week later, I still have not seen a stray drop of paint. They were punctual, professional and extremely courteous. Everyone on the WPP team was helpful and easy to work with and we won't hesitate to use your services again in the future. Thanks so much!

We are happy to say that Ernesto and his team did a beautiful and professional paint job on our house.

We've lived in the Mount Vernon area for many years but this is the first time we've contracted with Williams Professional Painting. We are happy to say that Ernesto and his team did a beautiful and professional paint job on our house. His work was superior to any we've had done in prior years or we could have done ourselves. Ernesto was very polite and frequently asked if we had any questions or outstanding issues. We also want to commend your office staff on their professionalism and the pleasant way they handled questions. Congratulations to a top notch company and a job well done.

Last week, Williams painted the main floor of my townhome. The crew (Walter and Jose) arrived on time, worked continually all day, and cleaned up their work area before leaving. They did a great job! We would use them again

An Exterior Painting Project

I had Ricardo, Salas and Cesar plus a couple of other guys work on my son's house. They did an excellent job and worked very hard throughout the project. The foreman(Ricardo, I think) kept me abreast of the progress throughout while I was at the house. The paint job is excellent.

Jose and I did not communicate well during the estimation process. The estimate that I received was not the total amount (excluding additional carpentry work needed) I expected it to be. I was shocked when I saw the final bill. The terms of agreement also showed that I would receive two coats and I did not. I was told that was only true for the pvc boards and door, that the paint was so good in covering that I did not need two coats. When I asked the foreman(Ricardo, I think) about painting the mullions he said they normally do not do those. I told him to call Jose and Jose confirmed that they would be done. So, the job was excellent but the estimation process did not go well. I'm sorry about this because Jose is a very nice guy and I enjoyed working with him, and he was concerned and respectful. I was told that Williams would replace two facial boards that go on the roof area free of cost. Thank you very much.

Overall, what is most important is that you did a great job and treated me respectfully and the job diligently. I hope the same can be said for me.

Please take special note that all the painters on my job worked hard and diligently throughout.

Thank you.

Thanks for sending such a professional and excellent team!

Amy and Gabriela: thanks for sending such a professional and excellent team of Arturo and Armando. They were always on time, courteous, thoughtful-- and they got the job done beautifully in only three days.

Please know that I will heartily recommend your company to anyone I know who needs painting done in a professional manner. Word-of-mouth is always a great way to promote any business, and you deserve the best in reviews.

Thanks,
