What kind of painter should you be looking for?:

First let me introduce myself: I am a specialty painter and finisher, my name is Chantal Hodges.

Most of us think of a painter as somebody that comes over wearing white pants, carrying a ladder, some brushes, rollers, and of course, buckets of paint. That person typically sings or listens to loud radio all day long!...LOL!....If  all you need is to refresh the color of your walls, or change their color all together, that kind of a painter will probably do just fine if you're not picky about the details.
If your walls have seen better days and need some TLC , you might consider a painter that has some experience in drywall repair, texturing, making holes disappear, etc...Now we're talking a few more tools!
Most production painters, as a crew,  can handle that kind of work, and if you have a big house and need it painted in a week, That's who you need to hire. ..But we're not talking tools anymore!...they're moving in!
Painters are not limited to walls, they will finish, or refinish your cabinets, baseboards, doors, window sills, wood floors, as far as the interior, and of course exterior work such as facades, siding, trims and exterior of doors and windows. Again, depending on the size of the job and your timeframe you might be looking for a one or two men crew, or a large production painting company.
Some "solo" painters can handle a variety of  finishes by themselves. They are knowledgable about paints, stains, lacquers, oils, wood finishes, etc...but most of them are not "artists" so to say, and they will do fine on standard finishes only.
If you are looking for something a little more custom, creative, or even some more detailing; for example: colors, a distress on your new kitchen cabinets w/ some antiquing, walls with a distinct look to them....or you are working with a designer, it is a good idea to bring in a specialty painter that will be familiar with just about every type of custom finish, rather than to try to convey your thoughts of a specific look you're after to a painter, or production painter, that would not be experienced enough for such a task and would end up experimenting on your walls, cabinets, or floors. The result may not be what you, or your designer were looking for but whatever they were able to do to the best of their abilities.
