Office Work

It is really funny to me, I hate to be in the office, yet I am on my third week of nearly all office work. I am finding that it is very important!!

In an effort to manage the customers experience from beginning to end and make it all good the office work is very important.

After taking some time to analyze our bids and forms for the company, and getting input from employees. We have come up with a packet that includes the bid, our basic company information, and the details for your job. It is designed to make keeping your records and our records easier. In the future if their are ever any problems with your paint job it will be very easy for any of us to pull the information about your job (paint colors, work done, ect). This will make our employees more efficient and your experience BETTER!!

Paying Your Painter

It is a very common practice for Painters to ask for money before any work starts. They will tell you that it is for materials. Don't fall for this, alot of people have been taken by painters who will do not do a good job.'

Our payment policy is as follows:

Payments may be made by cash, check, master card, or visa.

Payments are due when:

First ½ when job is ½ complete. This is when the pressure washing, scraping , caulking, and priming are complete.

Second ½ when job is 100% complete. If it is not possible to complete a walk through for any reason within 3 days of completion 90% is due and 10% may be held until the walk through and punch list are completed.

If other payment arrangements are needed we are happy to try to accommodate these prior to work beginning.

This hopefully protects both parties involved.

Never pay before work has been done!!!

Knowledge does your painter have it??

Many people will buy a paint brush and a cheap sprayer and call themselves a painter. Painting is not hard, but it does take much more than that.

Today I have spent the better part of the day in meetings. One of which was with a paint representative for PPG. They handle Pittsburgh, Porter, and Iowa paints. We are often approached by paint companies wanting us to use their products.

It is important to understand almost all paint companies have high quality and low quality paints.

Before I will even bring a paint on to my job I want to know about the company, know the specifications of the paint, and see the comparison to other quality paints.

I could bore you with the specific details, but really what most people need is to know that the person handling their painting knows and understands this information.

When you hire Frisbee Painting INC we will provide you with this information, give you an overview of it and more if you wish.

It is all about quality!!!

Will your painter go the extra mile!!

We have been working on the outside of a house this week.
Yes we can maintain quality in these cooler temperatures. Most companies have paint formulated for about 38 degrees and above, but I am digressing.
When we bid this house we bid it with two coats of paint (3-4 wet mils each coat). The rear of the house did not cover properly, it simply put needed more paint. There were some areas that did not seal properly with just two coats of paint. Yesterday as I talked to the home owner about this I think they were waiting for me to explain why we needed to raise the price.
They were pleasantly suprised as I explained that this sometimes happens and we would be sure it was taken care of.

Is anyone watching congress

For me it is not a Republican / Democrat issue. I know you can listen to Limbaugh, O"Reilly, and many others who will piont the finger in so many directions.

For me it is much simpler than that, WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO SELF RELIANCE? HELPING YOUR NEIGHBOR? I guress I just dont understand why people think the government can take care of everything. The government proves time and again that they are the most inefficient and wasteful method of doing anything!

We as AMERICANS should stand up and demand better!

How did we turn from having statesmen to having politicians?

How long will it take our kids to pay for our compliancy (the last 8 years or more included)? Really is it about us or our children?

I know this has nothing to do with painting and only has questions with no answers, but really....

Getting ready to sell your home

Now that you have the outside ready take a look at the inside. Normally it is very inexpensive to spruce up the inside.

· You may want to look at the ceilings. Are they still the old popcorn ceilings, you may want to modernize by removing it and putting a knock down on it.

· Do you have very bold or bright colors on the walls? You may want to consider moving to a more neutral color.

· Is your trim dinged or scratched. A fresh coat of paint will make this go away. If your trim is stained we can touch it up and give it a fresh look also.

These are just a few ideas, but with a very nominal expense we can really help your resale value.

Getting ready to sell your home

Try spending a few dollars on paint. It is amazing the difference a little paint can make.

Curb appeal is likely the most important. So start with the outside and move in. The typical house will have some wood rot issues and problems with the paint. Getting these taken care of is not that expensive and will add value to your home, not to mention it will sell faster. More money faster that is what we all want!!
