Why “Cheap” Painting Contractors Often Cost You More in the Long Run
If you've ever received a painting quote that seemed too good to be true—it probably was. In today’s market, it’s common to see contractors offering unreasonably low prices just to win your job. But what happens next? Often, they don’t show up, demand more money mid-project, or cut corners that leave you with a subpar finish.
💸 The Hidden Risks Behind Low Bids
So why do some contractors offer such low prices?
They don’t account for basic costs like prep materials, disposal fees, or labor time.
They may lack experience in estimating or running a small business.
Some simply underbid intentionally, knowing they’ll upsell you later.
In many cases, it’s not malicious—it’s a lack of understanding. But the result is the same: delays, frustration, and unexpected expenses. These contractors rarely stick around long, and their work often doesn’t last either.
