Affinity Painting Company Inc, Before you decide to hire the least expensive painter you can find, or "do it yourself", here are important points to consider that suggest the lowest price may not be the best value.

Painting can be hazardous work, whether it’s working on a ladder or dealing with solvents and dust. Hiring a professional contractor means you don’t have to worry about these problems.

If your home or business was built before 1978, it may have been painted with lead-based paint, which can cause serious health effects when it is scraped or sanded in preparation for repainting. Professional contractors will take appropriate steps to protect you. Painting contractors are required to furnish EPA-produced pamphlets to their residential customers before they begin a job that involves disturbing lead-based paint in or on a residence. Professional painting contractors will understand and be willing to follow the recommendations on this pamphlet.

Getting the surface properly prepared makes all the difference. Professional contractors know the value of preparation and will do it right.

The choices today are more complicated than just oil or latex, and professional contractors will know what works, how to use it, and will have the right tools for the job.

Hiring a professional contractor means you don’t have to worry about dealing with paint residues and other leftovers. Professionals will know how to handle hazardous wastes that may be part of the job.

Once you have decided to contract with someone to do a particular painting and decorating project, how do you go about selecting the right company? Do you make your selection on price, size of company, years in business, or other criteria?

To locate the names of reputable contractors, there are many sources of information. Some of these sources are, friends, relatives, architects and design professionals, and local "quality- oriented" paint supply stores. However, these sources can only give you limited general information. In order to make an educated decision, you need some specific information about any person or firm you are considering hiring.

Quality contracting firms will be only too happy to provide you with copies of their certificates of insurance. They should provide bonding information (if the job is large enough to require such) and documentation of safety training and compliance programs. Not all states and municipalities require licensing however business registration with your state and municipality is generally a minimum requirement.

Reputable contractors will encourage the use of a written contract. This contract should clearly explain the scope of the work to be performed. It should also cover such items as surfaces to be painted, methods and extent of surface preparation, time schedules for the project, and payment procedures. Knowing the total scope of the work enables you to carefully evaluate the different bids you may receive with the proper information and keep them on a level playing field. The contract serves to protect both you and the contractor.

Good contractors are very eager for your business. They are also very proud of their craftsmanship. Once you have made your selection, step back and give the professional painter room to execute the project. You have both done your homework, so give the professional the opportunity to meet and exceed your expectations. Remember, as with anything else in life, you get what you pay for. If you want high quality and reliable service, be willing to pay the price that comes with it.

Affinity Painting Company Inc, “Green” contracting services, products and solutions. It is committed to contributing to positive environmental impact in our world today. We are committed to using protective systems that protect and enhance our environment; principles that are known as "sustainability". We are contracting professionals who specialize in “green,” eco-friendly and long term solutions to fit your needs. Here are some easy ways to improve air quality, reduce waste, and limit exposure to toxic chemicals when tackling any painting project.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)- solids and liquids that convert easily to gas or vapor at room temperature—are contained in many paint products and have been linked to a variety of health problems. On the mild side, they can make your eyes water and give you headaches; more seriously, they can trigger asthma and other respiratory diseases. Common VOCs in paint include ethylene glycol (the same chemical compound found in antifreeze), formaldehyde, benzene, and a variety of other flammable or toxic chemicals. The paint’s materials safety data sheet (MSDS) lists any hazardous materials the product contains. Current EPA regulations limit VOCs to 250 grams per liter in latex paint, and 380 grams per liter in oil-based paint.

Low-VOC paints, now available from most major manufacturers, have less than 50 grams per liter for flat paints, and 150 grams per liter in gloss paints. Some go even lower, hitting 25- or even 10-gram-per-liter benchmarks. A paint that has 5 grams of VOCs or less per liter can claim “zero-VOC” status. With little to no odor and performance that rivals that of conventional products

What amount of work can a Painter for Day get done? Every home is different, so it's not possible to say specifically what he can accomplish. Some walls require significantly more repair, while others may involve cutting around difficult trim details. Even the color can substantially add to the labor, especially if it is a deep or accent color. Paint the walls, door and baseboards in typical bedroom, or

What happens if I need the Painter for Day for more than one day? If the Painter has personal availability, he may be able to stay an extra hour or two on the day he working for you. If necessary, you can book the Painter for Day for a second day (at the Painter for Day daily rate), although it may be a little while before his schedule will be able to accommodate the second day.

What about additional materials that may be needed? All you need to supply is the colors. You are more than welcome to place the order with any of our leading vendors at a discounted price, or you can provide your own paint.

What constitutes part of the Painter for Day's work time, and what does not? The entire Painter's time on site constitutes part of his work time, with the exception of his coffee and lunch break. Additionally, if he needs to leave the site to purchase more paint or materials on your behalf, this is part of his work day (you may want to minimize this by doing these errands yourself).

What if the Painter for Day finishes my work in less than a day? Since our painter is booked for the entire day, and likely can't fill the rest of his day with other paid hours, there is no refund for partial days of work.

Are there restrictions on what the Painter for Day can do? The rate is based on work under 20' in height, and the Painter being able to gain safe access to the work area. Also, some specialty finishes, such as faux and metallic finishes, and installing wall covering, are not available under the Painter for a day. The Painter for Day can do spray work, but there is an additional per day charge for the use of a spray machine, and the cost of whatever additional masking materials are used.
