PROFESSIONAL & CLEAN
We understand that we're working in people's homes and communities. Our crews maintain a professional appearance and take pride in keeping the jobsite clean and orderly.
WHY IT MATTERS
NOT ALL PAINTING ESTIMATES ARE CREATED EQUAL.
When an HOA receives several painting bids, it's tempting to simply compare the bottom-line numbers. After all, if every contractor is following the same paint specifications, shouldn't the bids be essentially the same?
Not necessarily.
Two contractors can quote the same project and produce very different results. The difference is often found in the details that aren't obvious when you're looking at the price alone—how much preparation is included, how the work will be managed, how much paint will actually be applied, who will be on the job, and what kind of service you can expect throughout the project.
An estimate should tell you what you're getting—not just what you're paying.
THE FLANDERS DIFFERENCE
WHY CHOOSE FLANDERS PAINTING?
Successful HOA painting takes more than good painters and good paint. It takes planning, organization, communication and accountability.
EXPERIENCED, UNIFORMED CREWS
Our painters arrive in neat uniforms and represent Flanders professionally throughout the project.
A FOREMAN ON THE JOB
A dedicated foreman is on the job to oversee the work and assist homeowners with questions or concerns as they arise.
RESPECT FOR HOMEOWNERS
Painting an HOA means working around residents, their homes and their daily routines. Our crews are expected to be courteous and professional in every interaction.
RESPONSIVE COMMUNICATION
Our team stays connected throughout the project so questions and unexpected situations can be addressed quickly.
ON-TIME PROJECTS
Successful HOA projects don't happen by accident. We plan and organize the work in advance and manage the project throughout its duration.
EXPERIENCE THAT PREVENTS PROBLEMS
Our experience allows us to anticipate many of the issues that can create headaches for an HOA, management company or homeowner.
ACCOUNTABILITY
We believe in taking responsibility for the work we perform and addressing issues when they arise.
DO YOUR HOMEWORK
INTERVIEW THE CONTRACTORS.
Before selecting a painting contractor, ask each company the same questions. Then compare the answers—not just the price.
01How much preparation is included?Ask exactly what preparation is included and how much time the contractor expects to spend preparing the surfaces.
02Will they caulk casings and fascia?Don't assume basic preparation is included simply because the bid says "prep."
03How much paint will actually be applied?Ask about the specified spread rate, number of coats and expected coverage.
04Who will actually be doing the work?Ask how long the painters and foremen have worked for the company.
05How will the project be scheduled?Ask for a detailed schedule so residents know what to expect and when.
06What is their system for painting doors?Ask how doors will be prepared, painted and managed throughout the project.
LOOK BEYOND THE BOTTOM LINE
THE LOWEST BID
ISN'T ALWAYS THE BEST VALUE.
A painting contractor can cut corners and still make a freshly painted building look acceptable—for a while.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
THE CONDITION OF THE STRUCTURE DICTATES WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
We don't believe in cutting corners simply to make a number look more competitive.
We invite our clients to see the preparation process for themselves. We're happy to explain what we're doing, why we're doing it and how it contributes to the finished result.
PAINT APPLICATION MATTERS
IT'S NOT JUST WHAT PAINT YOU USE.
IT'S HOW MUCH YOU PUT ON THE WALL.
The amount of paint applied to stucco and wood affects both the appearance and the protection of the finished surface.
SPREAD RATE
How many square feet are covered by a gallon of paint.
DRY FILM THICKNESS
The thickness of the cured paint film, commonly measured in mils.
COATS
The number of coats specified and actually applied.
Contractors can reduce the cost of a bid by applying less material or thinning paint beyond the manufacturer's intended application requirements. That may make the initial price look attractive, but it can affect the long-term value of the project.
IF IT ISN'T SPECIFIED, DON'T ASSUME THE BIDS ARE THE SAME.
SERVICE. SERVICE. SERVICE.
THE THINGS YOU CAN'T SEE
ON A BID SHEET.
Quality painting is important. But the service surrounding the project is what truly sets contractors apart.
SCHEDULES & NOTICES
We provide the HOA with detailed schedules and homeowner notices so residents know what to expect and when to expect it.
SIGNS & SAFETY
We use appropriate cones, caution tape and warning signs to identify work areas and help keep residents, visitors and crews aware of ongoing work.
REPAIRS
No company produces a perfect job every single time. If you find something that doesn't meet your expectations, tell us. We'll address it.
No excuses. No fast talk. We fix it.WARRANTIES
We provide warranties based on the products and number of coats specified for the project, covering labor and materials according to the project terms.
THE BOTTOM LINE
WE'RE NOT JUST PAINTING YOUR COMMUNITY.
We're managing a project you're trusting us to get right.
An HOA painting project affects homeowners, residents, board members, management companies and everyone who has to live with the project while it's underway.
