With today's paints, there are a few things to be aware of when washing your walls. And while I feel it's important to understand the reasons why new techniques had to be developed, it's also important to see a live demonstration.
That's why this weeks video has both :)
There's no doubt, ZERO & LOW VOC Paints are much better for our HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT... but to achieve this, paint manufacturers had to rethink the way paint was manufactured. And this has caused a BIG PROBLEM for some painters... (but every problem can also be seen as an opportunity when you're willing to adapt)
***VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds. I misspoke in the video and said it was Volatile Object Compounds... :)
My clients reaction, after she received 3 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT Prices to paint her home, really opened my eyes to a problem in the Painting Industry that I have since then tried to fix (or at least improve).
In this weeks video, I talk about the 3 REASONS why prices can have such a big gap so that all parties involved can be better informed and ask more questions to get to the bottom of the TRUE VALUE of each offering. Because in the Contracting world, the most expensive is not always the best (and the cheapest is not always the worst).
So you spilled half a gallon of paint on the carpet... what do you do?
Well before you freak out (like I did the first time this happened to me), you'll want to watch this video! :)
Is there a difference? And if so, what is it?
Well there is a difference... and even though it's one that is very difficult to explain, I believe I have come up with an analogy that explains it well.
What's the difference between a FREE PAINTING ESTIMATE (which is what most painting companies offer) and a FREE PAINTING CONSULTATION (which is what we offer)?
In this weeks video, I walk you through our process and show you why you get a lot MORE VALUE out of a consultation (HINT: you also get a free estimate as part of it) :)
If there's one thing I know for sure, after working as a Painting Contractor for nearly 20 years, it's this: We can do the best job in the world, but if the clients don't like the colors, it's not going to matter at all.
In this weeks video, I talk about the Only 2 Things That Matter when repainting your house. And even though, those 2 things will apply to anyone, the details will change completely from one person to another :)
Are you the Contractor on the project (without realizing it)?
I believe that every clients' needs are unique and some may be better served hiring one or the other. However, I often see people hiring Painters... thinking they had hired a Painting Contractor. The reason this happens so often is because the differences are not always easy to spot.
That's why, in this weeks video, I'm talking about the KEY DIFFERENCE between the two :)
Want to know how to save money on your next painting project?
In this weeks video, I share 2 great money saving tips I often share with my clients. And just like most of my clients, I believe strongly that you are going to love them! :)
When I was 23 years old, I lost $50 000 on one job...
To say that this was a challenging time would be a major understatement. And honestly, I still find myself surprised that I stayed in the painting business after that.
But one thing I can honestly tell you today is that I would not change any of it... HONESTLY! :)
In this weeks video, I share with you the lesson I learned from this $50 000 mistake and why it's the reason you're now receiving these videos of mine :)
