If you're looking to paint the interior or exterior of your home, then you'll want to know about Baggenstos & Associates, Inc., the painting contractor in Santa Rosa CA that clients attest is the one hire in Sonoma County when you want quality.

So we interviewed Bruce Baggenstos, owner of Baggenstos & Associates, Inc. about the methods his company uses to ensure the highest quality interior and exterior painting.
Quality Estimates from Baggenstos & Associates, Inc. in Santa Rosa CA

Many homeowners mistakenly think the best way to compare painting companies is by calling around for bids. But it turns out that's not the best way to find the quality you're looking for. Bruce Baggenstos explains, "A lot more goes into a quality paint job than just throwing out a price over the phone. That's because the cost of painting isn't a flat rate. We need to see the job before we can give an honest estimate. It depends on the amount of prep work needed, the size of the job and the quality of the materials to be used."

That's why Baggenstos & Associates, Inc. does free, in-person estimates. "We meet with clients and do a site inspection before every job," confirms Bruce Baggenstos. "That gives us a chance to look at the condition of the existing paint and the job site, including whether or not we'll need scaffolding or fall protection if it's an exterior job. We measure the area to be painted so we know exactly how much paint will be needed and the exact preparation to be done. Then we give clients a written bid so they can see the scope of work alongside the cost."

Top-Quality Painting Services in Sonoma County

Some homeowners settle for cheap painting services, mistakenly thinking they're getting a good deal. But Bruce explains that's not the case. "You get what you pay for. There are several grades of paint made by every manufacturer, but only the highest quality paints from the quality paint manufacturers applied right way to a prepared service will get you a paint job that really lasts."

That's why Baggenstos & Associates only uses the best quality materials from the top paint manufacturers, combined with expert preparation and application. So they can back up all their work with warranties based on their high-quality painting and the specifications unique to each job.
