Paintzen Painters FAQs
Where do you find your painters?
Our contractor network includes more than 800 contractors and 2500 crews. We’ve worked for over the course of 30 years. Each is properly licensed, insured, and has extensive experience. We rate our contractors after every project to ensure only the best remain within our network.
What qualifications do your painters have?
Paintzen painting contractors are vetted through a rigorous set of criteria including licensing, insurance and depth of experience during their time working with Paintzen, among other things.
How do you review your painters?
We perform background checks on paint contractors using a third-party service and our internal compliance team reviews all of their paperwork all contractors are review by the client and the Project Coordinator on every project to guarantee we’re only keeping the highest quality painters on the platform. All project coordinators are obtaining before and after photos of the project from the painter to confirm the quality of the work. In the rare case something is not to your liking, we will come back from of charge to make sure you’re completely satisfied with the work.
Why should I trust your painters?
After a paint contractor is on-boarded they are educated on the execution of a Paintzen project, including paint project scope, project start time, and customer expectations, etc. Our centralized handling of estimating and paint ordering and purchasing yields consistency and trust. You are also assigned a Project Coordinator and Project Management team to guide you through the process of your project.
Are you just a middleman for the painters?
We are much more than a middleman for the painters. We offer them steady and consistent work, full customer and logistics support, streamlined payment methods, and the peace of mind that they just have to focus on painting and nothing else. For our customers, we ensure consistency of performance and a delightful experience.
Why shouldn’t I go to the painter directly?
Paintzen ensures consistent high quality, standing behind the work, wherever it is performed. This ensures consistency and excellence that comes with three decades of managing painting projects of all sizes. With the support of a nationally recognized brand, your project will go more smoothly, there will be checks in place that you and the painter are being treated fairly, and we make sure you are getting the best painter for your project.
How do I pay for my project?
Paintzen includes an easy to use credit card method. We require a 10% deposit when a project is booked and the remainder is due upon completion.
Can I change the details of my paint job?
Yes, up until the day of the job! Call our main office at any time and one of our assigned project coordinators can update your work order. Any paint product already purchased by us cannot be returned because it is a custom color mix.
Do you do wall repairs?
While we always include basic prep work like filling nail holes, larger wall repairs are an option. We classify repairs into three different tiers, here are their descriptions: “Great” condition is defined as when the room is like new, and needs no repairs prior to painting.
“Good” condition is defined as when one or more surfaces to be painted will need additional preparation to be paint ready and when preparation requirements do not exceed the following:
- Patching in any number of nail holes (i.e. from hanging picture frames),
- repairing no more than 5 bolt holes (i.e. from mounting a TV, shelving, etc.), or
- smoothing out small, existing bumps
“Needs Repairs” condition is defined as when one or more surfaces to be painted will need additional preparation to be paint ready. Rooms that are in need of repairs require custom pricing. Such repairs include:
- Repairing over 5 bolt holes (i.e. from mounting a TV, shelving, etc.),
- Caulking along baseboards or other moldings, including but not limited to crown molding, door frames, wainscoting, and chair rails,
- Scraping and sanding uneven surfaces, peeling or chipping paint, or
- Repairing dents or cracks in walls.
- Stains or discoloration due to water or fire damage We can provide custom quotes for wall repairs such as skim coating or drywall repair.
How many coats will Paintzen apply?
We paint until there is full coverage. Whether that is one coat or three, we will keep painting until the wall is fully covered with paint.
What is a paint finish?
Paint finish refers to the amount of sheen in a paint. You can choose from a flat, matte, eggshell, or semi-gloss.
How do I choose my color?
You can visit your local paint or hardware store and make selections from their selection of paint samples.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Book in as little as 5 minutes and we can start your project in as soon as 5 days.
What happens if I need to cancel my paint job?
You should contact your Project Coordinator to either reschedule or initiate a refund process.
