The Questions Worth Asking Any Painter
Whether you go with Eric’s, with Jye, or with anyone else, the same few questions sort a good painter from a risky one. Ask for the licence number and check it on the NSW Fair Trading register. Ask who will actually be doing the work, not just who quotes it. Ask for the quote in writing, and ask what surface prep is included, because prep is where a paint job is won or lost.
A painter who gives you straight answers to those questions, in writing, is one you can trust with your home. Jye is happy to answer all of them before you decide.
Where Jye Works
Jye is based in Edgeworth and covers Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, and he heads out through the Hunter Valley and to the Central Coast edge when the job is worth the trip. Interior, exterior, roofs, fences, decks, and commercial work all fall under the one local painter.
If you have a Newcastle home or business that needs painting, tell Jye about the job and he will come and look at it before putting a written number in front of you.
