The short version
You tell us about the painting job, we pass your details to a local Hobart painting business and that painter contacts you within one business day to arrange a quote. You deal with the painter directly from then on, and you decide whether to go ahead. Using this site costs you nothing.
Step by step
Four steps take you from a request to a quote. The only information we need is what a painter would ask on the phone: who you are, how to reach you, where the job is and what needs painting. Everything after the referral happens between you and the painter.
- Tell us about the job. Use the quote request form to give your name, phone number, email, suburb, the type of work and a short description. Photos are not needed at this stage.
- We pass it to a local painter. With your consent, we send your request to a painting business that works in your part of greater Hobart.
- The painter contacts you within one business day. They will talk through the job and usually arrange to see the property, because an accurate painting quote depends on surface condition, access and size.
- You decide. Compare the quote with any others you get, ask questions and go ahead only if it suits you.
What we do and what we don't do
We pass your enquiry to a local painting business. We do not paint, quote, set prices, supervise work or handle payments. Any quote, contract, deposit or complaint about the work is between you and the painting business you choose to hire.
We also do not check or vouch for a painter's licence, insurance or workmanship. Before you accept a quote, ask the painter for their licence and insurance details, check any licence on the CBOS register and ask for a written, itemised quote.
How we are paid
The service is free for you. Painting businesses may pay us for referrals or for advertising on this site, which is how the site is funded. The painter sets their own prices, and you are never obliged to accept a quote from the painter you are matched with.
What happens to your details
We use your details only to pass your request to a local painting business and to follow up on it. We only add you to our tips email list if you tick that box, and you can unsubscribe at any time. Apart from that painting business, only the service providers that run this website handle your details. Our privacy policy explains how to access or correct the information we hold.
