How
to choose a painting inspector
When
choosing a painting inspector, one needs to look at the area of
painting experience they have, associations they belong to. Ask
about recent contracts they have completed, and architects they
have had association with. As well, ask about any certifications
they may have acquired.
Inspectors
should not only have experience in the painting industry. They
should have acquired a sense of responsibility to the owner to
assure they receive the best possible quality in the painting
industry. This is in all areas, from residential to commercial
and industrial.
Perfection
doesn't exist but quality does. The only way to get consistent
quality is through a proven Quality Assurance Program.
Standards
Standards
are set out by the PDCA (Painting and Decorating Contractors of
America) and the MPI (Master Painters Institute). (See Links
of Interest.)
When
and why you need a painting inspector
There
are many times a painting inspector is required.
Many people
are getting into the painting industry, from part-time employees
of other fields of experience to those who have painted their own
home project and feel they now can paint anything. They not only
lack the experience of a certified painter who has put the years
in to be certified, they also lack the knowledge to provide a quality
paint job through proper preparation and application.
