The perfect tradie is a unicorn. No waiting around for hours. No rip offs and hidden costs. No low quality parts that need replacement in a week. Just a perfect job at a reasonable price, delivered on time with no drama. It’s…what every home owner dreams of, but has never experienced. Want to hire a tradie who is guaranteed to do a good job, use quality parts and show up when they say they will? There’s a guaranteed way to get one!
The biggest guarantee? Something you’ve probably never considered
Yes, being a registered master plumber or master painter near you, is a big tick. Sure, a professional website, with license numbers and other credentials laid out, that’s a big tick. But the game changer when you hire a local house painter, plumber, builder or any other tradie, from an independent business but endorsed by a major brand.
Hire tradies that have a professional partnership registration. That means someone else is keeping an eye on their workmanship for you!
Hire a plumber with Rheem Accreditation. Choose a roofer accredited by Colourbond. Painters can be accredited by a paint brand. That means that they’ll need to comply with both quality and customer service rules laid out by the brand, or risk losing their accreditation. In Australia, the most reputable one is Dulux. All Dulux Accredited Painters use Dulux premium paints, personally sign an ethical and professional standards document, comply with all safety regulations and hold a minimum of $5 million public liability insurance. It all adds up to a quality job that will add value to your home.
Because there’s something in it for everyone, not just you.
Choose the hot water system, the paint or the fencing that you want and then look for an tradie accredited by that brand. You know you’ll get the job done to professional standards. The tradie knows that they’ll get a discount on the materials (so you’ll still likely pay less for materials than you would at a hardware store) and the supplier has a business that they’ve trained and can send their own customers to. It’s a win, win, win. Because it benefits everyone involved, everyone works hard to achieve a job well done!
They are skilled painters, plumbers or other tradies:
Dulux Accredited Painters are specially selected by Dulux for their superior skills and their commitment to the painting industry. This commitment ensures that they engage in proper quality assurance practices. Rheem accredited plumbers do Rheem advanced training courses, so they know everything there is to know about installation, maintenance and troubleshooting. They’re really good at the job!
They are reliable:
Accredited tradies are reliable and will turn up on time or telephone you. Their reputation is important to them, and the partner brand already checked that before endorsing them. To keep that all important endorsement, they need to keep their standards up!
They produce quality workmanship:
Using premium products with priority supply (so they can get “six foot tall monument grey” when your local hardware store is fresh out) all done with optimum skill. The pride they take in their workmanship leads to a quality job and customer satisfaction.
Compliance
Painters, plumbers and other tradies must comply with various environmental and consumer laws. By gaining accreditation, the tradesperson must prove that they’re in full legal compliance. For you, that means that your old hot water system isn’t going to end up illegally dumped, and your old asbestos fence or that layer of lead paint – well, it will be removed safely.
