Selecting the Right Painting Contractor

You have many choices when choosing a painter for your home or business, keep in mind: in our country anyone can declare themselves a professional painter. There are few licensing requirements or governing boards, and the cost of entering the profession is minimal. The unfortunate result of this is that a high percentage of those who call themselves painting professionals are unqualified opportunists who would like nothing more than to repaint your home every three to four years. (Remember, 85% of the cost of the job is labor.) We offer 5 year warranties with our exterior work when done by our high standards.

Here are some questions to ask your painting contractor before you hire:

Does the contractor have a safe work record?

How long has the contractor been in business?

Are the employees experienced painters?

Is the contractor registered with the state as a home improvement contractor?

Does the contractor have the necessary insurance? Is it adequate? Do they carry workers’ compensation for their employees?

Can your contractor provide a list of local references?

Has your contractor put everything in writing?

Does your contractor provide a written warranty?

For most people, your home is your biggest investment. Take the time to ask your contractor questions and you will get a better paint job.
