Here
are some things we will not do:
We will not cut
corners.
This policy underlies everything we do from how much we pay our painters,
to choosing appropriate high quality materials and finishes. Our goal
is to become the most respected high quality painting company on the
Avalon Peninsula and we will not achieve that by providing sub standard
materials or workmanship.
We will not skip
the prep work.
Preparation is key to a great looking, long lasting paint job. We scrape,
sand, fill and caulk until the surface is ready to accept top coats.
High quality primers are used always, and each coat - from primer to
final coat - is checked for quality and consistency.
We will not disrespect
you or your property in any way.
The utmost care is taken when working in your house or anywhere on your
property. Areas that are not being painted will be properly protected
and the appropriate steps taken to protect all furniture, floors, appliances,
plants, vehicles, pets, neighbors and anything else that should not
be painted.
We will not smoke,
swear or listen to loud music.
There's nothing worse than feeling like your home has been invaded by
a band of hooligans. We understand that your home is your castle and
that you make the rules, not us. We will always respect that, and will
dress, act and work with that in mind. We aim to be as noninvasive as
possible, and prefer to practice our craft quietly and efficiently in
a clean, neat and well organized environment.
We will not invade
your personal space.
Areas we are not painting are considered off limits. If we're not painting
it, we have no need to be there. We will not use your bathrooms without
your permission, and if we do get your permission, we will not leave
a mess and even bring our own towels so we don't dirty yours. We will
not go into your fridge, use your sinks, glasses, garbage cans or use
your phone. We will not leave a mess and will make every effort to ensure
our materials and tools do not affect the daily operations of your household.
We will not surprise
you with extra or hidden costs.
Once we have presented our proposal to you, and you have agreed to the
price, that's it! From that point forward we get the job done based on
your expectations as outlined in our proposal and contract. Any changes
to the specs of the job will be agreed to in writing by both parties via
a work change order. We try to be as accurate as possible when we do our
estimate so that all parties involved can be reasonably assured there
will be no surprises.
You have my personal
guarantee that all of the above conditions will be met during our time
with you. If for any reason you are unsatisfied with our service I will
personally correct the problem immediately.
I have been painting
for over just about 20 years and have extensive experience with many
types of applications, equipment and methods. Many of those years were
spent under the guidance of a master painter who taught me the value
of old world craftsmanship. I share those values with everyone who works
at Avalon Painting, and expect all painting to be of the highest quality
every time no exceptions. Ultimately, your total satisfaction
is our goal.
