What To Look Out For
and Look For When Hiring A Painting Contractor

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR:

  1. Look Out For Companies That Demand A Deposit. Legitimate painting companies do not require payment until the job is finished on projects of $5000 or less.  Anyone planning to do a good, honest job will have no problem allowing you to "hold all the cards."
  2. Look out For Fake Or No Liability Insurance. 
    This could cost you plenty if things get broken or damaged.  Do not settle for a promise to provide a statement or a copy.  The contractor should supply you with the telephone number of the insurance agency.  Call to be sure the policy is still in force.
  3. Look out For Promising One Paint Then Using Another.  Unfortunately some contractors think nothing of quoting name brand paint because they are actually using that cheapest grade of paint in that line.  This is one of the biggest trade secrets paint contractors Don't Want You To Know.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR:

  1. Look For An Emphasis On Surface Preparation.
    Interior or exterior - this is the key to a beautiful finished look that will last.
  2. Look for Written Company Policies and Quality Control Procedures.
    These written documents will demonstrate the company's commitment to doing the job right.  They also guarantee consistency of workmanship.  The bet painting companies will be proud to share these documents with you.
  3. Look for a Sincere Desire to Educate.
    Painting is not something you contract for every day.  Look for a company that willingly shares their expertise, product knowledge and decorating ideas.  Ideally, they should supply educational materials that will help you make a buying decision.  To Get the Rest of our consumers guide to Hiring A Painting Contractor, please schedule an estimate.
