WHY THE LOWEST BID MIGHT COST YOU MORE

CUTTING CORNERS CAN MEAN CUTTING QUALITY

The incredible growth of Denver infrastructure, coupled with supply chain issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to a sharp increase in construction pricing, including painting.

This demand has resulted in increased prices for remodeling and renovation services across all types of properties, including commercial and large residential projects. We understand that these increases put added pressure on HOAs and Property Managers, which is why we have a dedicated team of professionals ready to support the bidding process to ensure your bid is accurate and reflective of the quality and craftsmanship you should expect.

Competitors in our industry can be quick to cut their labor and supply fees to position themselves as the lowest priced bid. While this is always enticing, even for us, the overall cost of these projects may not be reflected in the bid. At Shaker Painting, we take pride in accurate cost and timeframe estimates, so our customers will not face unexpected costs or significant delays once the project is started.

Additionally, it is a proven fact that in order for a company to offer lower prices, they will have to cut corners somewhere along the way, thus quality will inevitably suffer. When quality suffers, the overall outcome will have a shorter lifespan, meaning property managers will need to budget for touch ups and repairs sooner than expected.

THINK ABOUT YOUR BUYING HABITS

To put this in perspective, think about your own COVID-19 buying habits. As the demand for hand sanitizer increased at the height of Summer 2020, prices also increased. Those who chose the cheaper option ended up going through twice the amount of sanitizer, thus having to buy this necessity more frequently, increasing the overall cost of the product for their families. Smarter shoppers chose to purchase the higher quality sanitizer to begin with, which lasted longer and was more effective than the less expensive alternative.

The same thing goes for your project; wouldn’t you rather the job get done by skilled professionals using the best quality materials and following the most updated safety protocols? Oftentimes, the less expensive quote is due to lack of painting experience and lower quality materials, which may result in skipping vital steps, such as preparation and protection. Every decision you make throughout the search for a painting contractor will affect the longevity of the project.
