Houston Area Contractors

 

 

 

Every business is guided by a set of principles which determines its actions and attitudes towards customers, vendors, and employees. Those principles may be implicit or explicit, they may be consistent or a mishmash of contradictions. In either case, they serve as the foundation for everything the company does.

In some ways, the Philpaint philosophy is very simple: offer consumers a professional, quality service. But there is much more to this philosophy than may be immediately apparent.

We are a service company, and the nature of the services we offer can cause disruption and inconvenience in the lives of our customers. Often, we must be at, or in, a home for a week or longer, and the areas in which we are working may be inaccessible or unusable for several days.

Therefore, it is imperative that we make the experience as convenient and hassle free as possible. This includes informing the customer of the time and procedures required to complete the work, leaving the work area clean at the end of each day, arriving promptly, and performing the work in a professional manner.

These steps alone can eliminate many potential problems. But there is much more to operating a professional service company. Providing easy contact during normal business hours, providing written estimates and specifications for the work to be performed, providing payment options, and addressing customer concerns are equally important.

Continually studying and testing new products, materials, and equipment allows us to offer and recommend the best solutions to each situation, as well as offer our customers the information they need to make informed decisions.

More than anything, it is this attitude which distinguishes Philpaint from our competitors. We do not attempt to "do it all", nor do we offer the lowest prices. What we do offer is quality service, delivered in a competent, professional manner. And when mistakes do occur, we stand behind our work, take responsibility for our actions and strive to courteously provide the satisfaction we promise.

From our inception, we have listened to our customers. We have attempted to identify their complaints regarding other contractors, and diligently sought to avoid repeating those mistakes. The most common complaints about other contractors do not regard the quality of their work (though this is certainly a frequent complaint), but rather, such intangibles as not keeping appointments or not returning phone calls.

We recognize that our customers’ time is valuable, and that there is no excuse for unprofessional conduct. Unfortunately, the painting industry is infamous for such conduct. However, we believe that consumers should expect and demand more.
