I see it's been a while since you've posted, but I'm curious—has anyone had success finding reliable painters through word-of-mouth lately? I’ve had a mixed bag with online listings and I’m starting to think personal recommendations are the better way to go. Also wondering if anyone here has tried hiring younger tradies through local TAFE programs—they often need experience and seem keen to do a good job.

I ran into similar problems before, so now I get really specific when asking about what kind of paint and prep they use. Found someone through spray painting mississauga toronto once who actually walked me through each step before starting. Made a big difference not being left guessing. Painters can vary heaps, so getting clear answers upfront helped me not feel ripped off again.
