If you are searching for a Surrey painting company on Google, you’ll see that there are many to choose from. There are many pages of companies in the search results and if you visit their websites, you’ll notice that they all offer (or purport to offer) similar services.
Let’s face it: anyone can say or write anything. Companies can make claims about how long they’ve been in business, the quality of their work (who’s going to admit to doing shoddy work? ) or how many satisfied customers they’ve served. A savvy home-owner instinctively knows that these painting companies can’t all have the same experience, provide the same quality of work, and be equally trustworthy and professional. How then, do you choose the right painters?
There are a few quality indicators you should look for that distinguish a painting company in Surrey and make them stand out from the rest: accreditation, trustworthy reviews, a workmanship guarantee, and a photo gallery of completed work. The existence of these four attributes provides a litmus test of quality and trust.
Accreditation
If the painting companies you are considering don’t have accreditation, that doesn’t necessarily mean they are “bad”. On the other hand, if a company has gone to the trouble of accreditation, putting itself out there for the scrutiny of the accreditor and public feedback, it says they are willing to follow standards and stand behind their work.

To stay in good standing, Blue Chip Painting adheres to BBB standards, which include: building trust, advertising honestly, telling the truth, being transparent, honoring promises, being responsive, safeguarding privacy and embodying integrity.
Trustworthy Reviews
Many Surrey painting companies post glowing reviews on their company website. Can these reviews be trusted, though? While most Surrey painters wouldn’t intentionally mislead the public, the quality of the review must be examined. If it seems “generic”, doesn’t have a name or company name, it may be too good to be true. If there aren’t similar reviews “outside” the painting company website – Google reviews for example – that may also indicate the reviews are weak or suspect.
Blue Chip Painting’s website painting reviews include a client name and in many cases, a client-company name. We also have reviews on Google+.
Workmanship Guarantee
An explicit, easy-to-understand guarantee, in plain English (not “legalese”), is further evidence that a Surrey painter is committed to quality work. Blue Chip Painting offers a Full-Service Guarantee. The guarantee is prominently placed on our website and easy to understand.
Painting Gallery Showcasing Completed Work
A gallery of completed work is another indication of that the Surrey painting company is a bonafide professional. If the painting company does not have a gallery, why? Although it may not mean they are “hiding” something, it could mean they haven’t been in business long, can’t show a range of painting jobs, or haven’t taken the time to showcase their work. A gallery of completed work says a few things about a painting company: they have work to showcase, they are proud of the work they do, and, they understand that prospective clients need more than written promises to make an informed decision.
