Question 1

Are you an insured business and do you guarantee your work?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we are insured to $5 million for public liability and quality of work. We have never had to use our insurance.

Question 2

How did you decide to get into your line of work?

Accepted Answer

Our owner likes to work with his hands. He has also worked as a chef, so creativity, customer interaction and attention to detail have always been passions of his.

Question 3

Do you have a favourite customer story you would like to share?

Accepted Answer

One customer left $20,000 in a drawer we were painting. We have no idea why, but when he came home that day he was very happy to find it on the kitchen bench with a note telling him to find a safer way of looking after it!

Question 4

What do you like most about your job?

Accepted Answer

We love dealing with people. At the end of the day, our job is to make you happy in your home. Seeing people happy with our work makes us happy. It's our motivation for maintaining quality and the reason we get recommendations.

Question 5

What questions should a customer ask to hire the right service professional?

Accepted Answer

Can I see your recommendations/references? Can you show me photos of work you have done before? Can you provide me with your insurance details?

Question 6

What questions do customers commonly ask and how would you answer them?

Accepted Answer

Which brand of paint should we use? We always recommend Taubmans, apart from when metal is involved, then we use Dulux. Is a non-branded paint going to save me money? No. You pay for the quality. If you buy your paint from Aldi you're going to need 4 coats rather than 2.

Question 7

What makes you the most reliable and trustworthy person for the job?

Accepted Answer

We're a family business that thrives and relies on our reputation and word of mouth. We are a normal family, just like you, with kids, pets and every day concerns. We've got 35 years of experience and an owner that takes pride in passing on quality practices.

The size of the rooms. The condition of the walls & ceilings. Which areas need painting. When you need the work completing.

Question 10

How can a customer save money before you start the work? Please give 3 tips

Accepted Answer

If you can move your furniture to the centre of the room before we arrive we will take that into account in the quote. If you can buy your own paint, that will reduce the overall quote. If you can have another tradesman/handyman come in to do prep/sanding that will help.
