In the information age we’re currently in, it is incredibly easy to search for and find local services for all your needs, from dentists to professionals to renovate your home. All these options can be both good and bad. Good because you’re spoilt for choice, and bad because deciding on a company to use can be confusing.

This is the same when it comes to professional home rendering companies. Once you do a Google search, you’ll see just how many there are out there. So, which one do you choose? Do you go for the one that gives you the cheapest quote? Do you stick to one that is located closest to you? Or do you choose the one with the best reviews?
Continue reading for some handy tips on choosing the best professional rendering company for you and your home.

Good Reviews

Online reviews and testimonials are the easiest way to see how reputable a company is. If there are an overwhelming number of negative reviews, it’s a sign to stay far away from that particular company.

However, having a few negative reviews mixed in with positive reviews is normal and shows that real customers are reviewing the company and not bots or people from within the company itself. There will always be people who aren’t happy with a company’s services, so don’t get too hung up if you come across a few negative reviews here or there. However, if there are over a hundred reviews and they’re all rated 5 stars, that can be suspicious in itself and also a red flag.

Qualifications

Rendering requires a specific set of skills to be done successfully. A Certificate III in Solid Plastering is needed in Australia to be a qualified renderer. When you choose a renderer with the proper training and qualifications, you feel confident they will do a professional and safe job.

Experience

To find out more about a company and how much experience they have, the best starting place is to visit their website and go to the ‘about us’ section, where they should list how many years they’ve been in the rendering industry, their mission and if they specialise in a particular service.

Quotes

If a company wants to come out to your home to give you a quote, it’s a good sign that they’re thorough and fair. By visiting your home, they can see firsthand the surfaces you want rendered and will have a better idea of the final cost.

The last thing you want is to be surprised by hidden fees and extra costs. A smart idea is to get a few quotes from different companies so you can make an informed decision.

Examples of Their Work

Some people want visual examples of a company’s work. If you know a particular company has worked on a home in your area, it can be easy to do some reconnaissance work and see examples of their work in person.

Social media pages can also be a great place to see examples of someone’s work. Most rendering companies should have a Facebook and/or Instagram page where they upload photos and videos of their work.

Friendliness

First impressions have a huge impact, so when you first speak to or meet somebody from the company, it is a huge bonus if they are friendly, especially since the renderers will be coming to your home and spending a few days there.
Nobody wants unfriendly workers coming to their home.

Products and Services

Companies that offer multiple products and services are understandably more attractive than those that offer only limited services and products. A company’s website should provide a full list of its products and services.

For rendering companies, they should offer various rendering services, methods and finishes to give you the best outcome, which includes multiple rendering styles, including:

  • Cement render
  • Lime render
  • Acrylic render
  • Silicone render
  • Pebble dash render

Location

Just because a rendering company is close to your home does not always mean it’s the best choice. However, there are some benefits to choosing a local rendering company. These benefits include the potentially lower cost, as they don’t have to travel so far, and their close proximity in case anything goes wrong or needs to be repaired quickly.
