Standards
We understand and employ standards set by the PDCA (Painting & Decorating Contractors of America). The work we do is always consistent and top quality. It is important that the house painter is qualified to do the job. Painting and preparation must be done properly. With Interior and Exterior Painting there are many steps that must be done correctly. This is essential to have a quality professional paint job that will last.
Credentials
For your protection, make sure the painting contractor you hire is Licensed, Bonded & Insured, including Workers Compensation Insurance. Ensure the state license number is actually issued to the contractor. It is illegal for a contractor to use someone else's license. Contractors are required to carry a state license card and a bond card with them. They will produce it at the estimate if requested. You can check the contractors license status with the Contractors State License Board.
EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm
If your house or building was built before 1978 it was originally painted with lead based paint. When lead is present important safety procedures and precautions must be applied when preparing building for paint. The contractor must know the proper techniques and laws that apply to lead paint work. Contractors must be certified by the EPA to do the work. When hiring a contractor that is not an EPA lead Safe Certified Firm, property owners are at risk. It's possible to receive excessive fines for non-compliance. Furthermore, your health could be at risk if proper procedures are not followed. SPEEDY-CLEAN is a Lead Safe Certified Firm.
Quality Painting materials make a difference
Generally we like to use the top of the line Sherwin-Williams paint with any interior or exterior house painting. We use Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint and Duration, as well as their Urethane paint on trim and doors. It's not cheap, but a high quality paint makes a big difference in how long your house painting will last. It also plays a big role in how nice it's going to look. Trying to save money using cheap paint never works. Low quality paints will not last as long, and will require more material to be used than high quality paint. If you're trying to save some money on materials we can also stand behind a job completed with BEHR paint . This paint is less expensive but still very high quality.

Pre-Paint Preparation
It won't make a bit of difference how good your paint is, or how well it's applied, if the surface it is applied to has not been properly prepared. Surface preparation is just as important (if not more so) then the actual quality of paint being used. If the surface to be painted requires repair work, then the importance of preparation and getting it done correctly increases. Exterior surfaces should always be pressure washed prior to painting. A quality soap designed for pre-paint preparation that kills mold; as well as allowing a proper amount of drying time (after the pressure washing) are very important, but often downplayed or overlooked by some other contractors.
Peeling paint that has not been removed must be scraped and sanded. We apply a generous amount of quality adhesive caulking on jobs to fill in joint lines, cracks, and to seal window areas, as well as greatly improve the look of the final finish. We spend more time preparing the surface for paint than most painters, and this is an important area that sets apart from the competition.
Protection of Surrounding Areas
In addition to preparing the surface for paint, the surrounding areas (that are not supposed to be painted ) must be protected as well. A large amount drop cloths are needed to work efficiently, as well as masking paper and plastic sheeting, tape and paint shields. Our customers are often pleasantly surprised with the amount of preparation that goes into our finished product. A quality house painting is usually 90% preparation and 10% paint application.
The Price of Painting
You can have your house painted cheap, or you can have it painted right, but you cannot have both. When people ask "how much does it cost to paint a house?" often what comes to my mind is "how much does it cost to buy a car?" as there are just as many variables that determine quality, dependability and the final price.
Taking Estimates
When taking estimates you may see a large difference in price from contractor to contractor, ranging from several hundred dollars to a thousand or even more depending on who you call. Some painters do better work than others and will see the job taking longer and requiring more prep work to do a proper job, while another contractor may view it as an "in and out" job requiring little prep work, or may have missed an area of dry rot in need of repair. On the other hand, some painters are more efficient and skilled than others. Some painters will use better materials than others, and they may not all be expecting to use the same amount of paint or number of coats. They may also be using different methods when painting with an airless sprayer, all of which will effect the price and quality of the work.
Painting Contractors
Not all painting contractors are on equal footing or playing by the rules either. While most painters will have the basic requirements of a license, bond and liability insurance, others may not, and some contractors carry a much higher level of liability insurance than others. Many painting contractors do not carry workers compensation insurance for their employees, or pay employer taxes as required by state law. Some painters will claim employees are "independent contractors" when they clearly are not. While this may greatly reduce their operating cost, and may give them a "leg up" on the competition, it also passes a lot of the risk on to their customer, the home owner.
