What to look for in your contractor Sacramento?

What to look for in your contractor Sacramento?

When looking for a contractor, whether it is for painting, remodeling, plumbing etc., informed customers will go through an interview process. But not all interview processes are the same. Some are looking for quality, communication, diligence, and some are just searching for the right price.

But how do companies decide on their price?

Two main factors go into a contractor’s price: material costs and labor. However, not all companies estimate their labor in the same manner. At Brooks Painting, we account for all facets of a job. One of the most important facets is prep time, specifically, what do we need to do before we start painting? Is there dry rot? Drywall repair? Sanding? Scraping? Caulking? All of our preparation procedures are included and detailed in your estimate. Our main goal is to ensure that your home is a “Sound Surface” before painting commences.

When considering your estimates and trying to decide which company is providing you with the “Right Price”, make sure that price includes and details what you want done. If your estimate does not include a detailed scope of work, in addition to a description of their process, how do you know what you are paying for?

Do your homework and ask questions. Make sure you understand what is provided and that it is communicated with you. After all, it is your home and your project.

If you are looking for a reputable painting contractor in the Greater Sacramento Area, Brooks Painting is here to help you with all your painting needs. Let us provide you with an excellent experience and show you how contractors should work. We can help you with your interior & exterior painting, cabinet finishing, and commercial work. We work in Solano, Yolo, Sacramento, Placer, and El Dorado Counties. Call us at 530-753-5074 or visit our website to set up an estimate appointment.

Very professional, I appreciate the time they took to make sure everything was taken care of for my house! I really liked that Jaime stepped up and told me not to paint my front door like the house and then chose a color that worked great. Thank you!

Hiring Brooks Painting was an easy and professional process the whole way through, from the estimate to the completion of having my very high walls edged, where I was unable to reach them. Crew Leader Eric was prompt and super capable, which was a relief since he had to maneuver and climb a very tall ladder. He was also in the process of teaching a newer painter and I admired his positive and encouraging manner. In addition, he was willing to respond to my requests with ease. No regrets here! The edging looks amazing and only took 4 hours to complete.

We are long time happy customers with many positive experiences with Brooks Painting. We have appreciated the assistance (and patience) with selecting paint colors, the professionalism of the staff and the high quality of workmanship. We recently had some interior painting done and the crew was on time, neat, careful inside the house and very easy to work with. They also cheerfully handled some unexpected drywall repair. I highly recommend Brooks Painting.

Eric and his crew were on time every day and did a very thorough job. I was thrilled that they were willing to paint my outdoor light fixtures which were getting rusty. I was particularly impressed how much time they spent going over their work at the end to catch spots that were missed. I’ll be using them again for interior painting.

Brooks did a fantastic job on our exterior and interior paint jobs. Quality was high, price was reasonable, and the team was extremely professional and detail-oriented. Mark was our crew lead and the team performed a number of exterior wood repairs, a door re-stain, interior and exterior painting. Mark clearly takes a lot of pride in his work and went above and beyond to ensure the work was high-quality, including finding exact matching siding to fix dry rot, and performing minor repairs that weren't even included in the quote. He and the team were all consistently positive and personable, joking with each other throughout the day, while also genuinely complimenting each other on the quality of their work. It was great to see, and that positivity definitely showed through the work they did. We couldn't be happier with the end result.
