What to know before hiring us
We are not the cheapest, but we’re often the only local painting company bringing full integration between substrate repair and finish paint in one service. That translates to cleaner lines, longer-lasting results, and fewer probelms. Especially true with plaster repair.
Every project is different, and we prefer to see the space in person before submitting a formal bid. This allows us to tailor the scope accurately and ensure the highest quality results. Our Contracts include all labor, materials, tools, and equipment needed to complete our scope of the work ensuring no surprises, no shortcuts.
We carry all the necessary (expensive) insurances. We carry $1 million in Commercial Liability Insurance (which covers your home and property). We are insured for interior and exterior residential painting, drywall and plaster repairs. We carry commercial auto policies. All employees are covered by New York State Workers Compensation Insurance and Disability.
We accept cash or check. We do not accept credit cards at this time.
Behr: We use Behr Dynasty as our Sherwin Williams Emerald/Duration replacement. Dynasty has above average coverage, excellent hiding capability and holds up extremely well to wear and tear. It is Behr’s top of the line product and in our opinion is better than Benjamin Moore Aura.
The other paint we really like from Behr is called Scuff-defense (Duration/SuperPaint comparable) for interior walls. Its fantastic for high traffic areas like hallways, and kids bedrooms and playrooms. If you rub against it with a laundry basket for example, it wont leave a mark on the wall.
Sherwin Williams: The people working at the retail level are among the best people to do business with. It's just the product isn't what it used to be. We used SW almost exclusively for over 10 years. However they changed their product formulas in the spring of 2021. Not a good change. Unfortunately the paints no longer cover like they used too, and the over spray when rolling it is substantial. At the time of our switch, I posted about it on our blog.
We do. We will pick up the paint either the night before, or the morning of starting your job. Our bids include all materials we need to complete our scope of work unless otherwise noted in the Contract. Any custom colors used on your property are yours. We will label the cans and place them in the basement. Never store house paint in the garage. Once it begins to freeze, its junk!
Only to the middle of the room. Please remove small items from the work area prior to our arrival. We require approximately 3’ access to all walls in the room plus ceiling access.
No, Carrigan Painting works exclusively in the suburbs of Buffalo NY. Primarily in the north towns such as Amherst, Clarence and Lancaster NY.
