PAINTING Newcastle
Two most common questions right at the start are:
While plastering may look easy, it’s best to hire a professional for the job.
If you are searching for a Newcastle Plasterer you will find that there are many companies you can choose from.
Even though it’s great to have a wide choice, it can make the job of choosing the right one even more difficult.
All plastering companies appear to offer similar services which can add to the confusion.
Here are a few tips to help you choose the right plastering professional.
This is the most important reason to hire a professional plasterer.
A good plastering job can enhance the look and increase the value of your house.
Professional plasterers know how important it is to pay attention to the fine details.
They know that cutting corners can result in a poor quality job and have an impact on their reputation.
It’s the small details in your kitchen, living room, bathroom and other areas that can make or break the end result.
Professional plasterers know this and will always work to ensure you are happy and that they don’t need to fix any hidden flaws.
It is very important that you look for a professional with experience in the field.
Although experience is not always an indication of someone's skills and reliability, it will give you a fair idea about whether the person would be able to handle the job.
Therefore, you should also check the reputation of the company.
These days you can find reviews or testimonials online and you can check the company’s social media profile.
This approach will indicate if you are happy to engage the company.
The person, or company, you hire for your project should have a valid license.
All reputable companies will be happy to provide you proof.
If not, then don’t hire them.
This is very important.
A credible, professional and well-established business will always guarantee their work.
They will also establish timelines and ensure that the work is carried out on time and within your budget.
Sure, you can try to do it yourself, and some people are great at DIY, but it can end up costing you a lot more.
Firstly, you will need to buy all the equipment necessary to do the job.
It will take you a lot longer.
You may even need to have a professional come in to fix your errors.
All of this is a cost!
Having a professional plasterer do the job can actually save you money!
It is recommended you get several quotes from a range of different companies before you choose who will do the job for you.
The contractor with the lowest quote might not be the best to go with as they might cut corners with their work.
That can impact the quality of the work and ultimately result in disappointment for you.
However, the company with the highest quote may not always do the best job either.
The experience of the plastering contractor and the price they charge are generally correlated.
It can be tempting to have a local ‘handyman’ do the job for you.
Our many years of experience has shown that this is rarely a good idea!
We have been called to jobs where the handyman has done the job and we need to fix it or even worse, completely replace the plastering job.
Handymen are great for many types of work around your property, but something like gyprock installation requires more in-depth knowledge and skills that only professional plasterers acquire over years of working with plaster and Gyprock products.
