The call came in and I heard after our introductions ” I need something painted ASAP”.
The realtor stopped by to see how progress was coming on readying the house for the upcoming Open House this coming Sunday and the realtor mentioned to receive the best and highest offer I should spruce things up.
It was a very competitive Real Estate market and most homes were receiving multiple offers and why shouldn’t I, mentioned the future customer.
The scenario was that it was Wednesday afternoon and our schedule has been booked out straight for quite sometime along with customers on our rain day schedule as well.
What were we to do?
Plumbing companies and electrical companies have emergency services and so I thought why not the painting trades? Many people will pay a premium wage to have their issue dealt with on an immediate time frame.
In fact I recently called a tree service company for a tree that had fallen in the back yard and the cost for its removal the next day was almost 50% more than if I could schedule it for a later date. (I think the tree adds character to the back yard laying there so still)
So after much thought i have decided to add a new service to Ramsden 1-800-Painting
EMERGENCY PAINTING
As of November 1, 2017 we are going to offer emergency next day painting.
This is how it works:
- If the service is schedule by noon we will guarantee a painter will be at your home the next day at 8 am with a fully stocked truck for 8 hours of painting service.
- The painter will be there for 8.5 hours which will include his/her lunch break.
- The truck will be stocked with all the necessities for a painting project
- We will have regular used stock on the truck such as ceiling paint, primers, caulking, tape and plastic, ect and use of this will be invoiced at the end of the day of work
- If any additional supplies would be needed the painter will visit the paint store during the eight hours of work on that day and be counted as part of the work day.
What should be expected to be completed from the painter during that day:
- A list is always a great way to start as many people have multiple smaller things that they either need repaired or touched up.
- A ceiling or two can be painted and of course it depends on sizes of the rooms, heights and furniture in the rooms
