Price vs Quality and Service
Like virtually all things in business and life, we tend to get what we pay for – painting is no exception.
There are three main variables that need to be considered with any purchase: Price, Quality, AND Service. It’s important to decide where you stand on price, quality and service and 
to choose a contractor fit for the job. You may decide that a few paint ridges and imperfections are okay, but you’re looking for a solid job that will last a long time. Maybe the most important thing is a professional contractor who will deliver what he promises. Perhaps price is no matter and only the highest quality will do. Communicate these preferences and don’t be afraid to have a discussion on intelligent ways to be cost effective, without being unrealistic.
Be leery of companies promising you a champagne paint job on a beer budget. Price, quality and service are closely related. If you are considering hiring a company with the lowest price by a significant amount, ask yourself: which of the other two categories is being sacrificed? Is it the quality of the work or the quality of the materials? Or is it the level of service you will receive (things like having your project started and completed on time, interacting with courteous and dedicated employees, following-up in the future if and when problems arise, helping you avoid costly mistakes in colour selection, etc.)? Or maybe you are sacrificing a combination of both quality and service by going with the cheapest price.
