How to Choose a Professional Painting Contractor

 

Selecting a quality painting contractor is as essential decision as choosing paint, and normally more crucial. The highest-quality acrylic or oil cannot make up for sloppy corners, poor surface preparation, drips and over-charging. There are so many painting companies with integrity of workmanship and business practices. Here's how you can discover one: ask, examine, and verify. Do one, both or all three on the following criteria:

 

 

Ask your contractor to show you his license, or to provide his business and contractor license numbers. You can confirm this information on many authorities websites, or with a call to a licensing bureau. A licensed contractor has met standards of enterprise observe and knowledge. An unlicensed painter can lead to insurance issues, which we'll study in a moment. A guy with a truck going door-to-door can quote a lowball price, however you're going to get costly trouble.

 

 

Ask for references. You need names, addresses and phone numbers and you wish to call them. Everyone loves to brag about discovering "the most effective this" or "probably the most amazing that". Boasting about finding someone to do an important paint job is no different. In addition, they already know how tough it is to discover a stable painter and most are completely satisfied to allow you to in on the results of their research.

 

 

There is one other reference that comes highly advisable: the Higher Enterprise Bureau. If they've obtained numerous complaints about a particular contractor, they offer that business a lower rating. "A+" is greatest, and there is no "F". "C" does NOT mean this is a mean painter. It means there have been a fair number of complaints.

 

 

Examine the quality of work. You could not need to call up references and ask should you can come over, although many individuals do. But at very least you can drive by and have a look. If it's interior painting, clearly somebody will have to open their home to you. You wish to verify that the surfaces were well prepared: no obvious repairs, no neglected issues, and no sloppy edges and such. Does the paint cover evenly? Is there evidence he used masking to keep colours aside? In addition, there are questions you'll be able to ask references for verification. Did the painters arrive on time? Did they move furniture, cover floors or outside plantings, keep a clean job site, and clean up well before leaving? Were they pleasant? I think an unfriendly individual is often unhappy in their work, and bad attitude leads to bad workmanship.

 

 

Ask about price, and ask what factors went in to setting that individual price. You want separate figures for labor, for paint and other materials, and also you want to know in case you are charged for cleanup, furniture moving and travel time. To verify if the price is in a normal range, ask references what they paid, and ask around the neighborhood to see what it price them.

 

 

You want all of the pricing spelled out in a written contract. You want everything in writing, from start and end dates to each day arrival times. You need the estimated amount of paint listed. If there may be primer, that needs to be priced out separately, including labor time for priming (it is usually quicker). Have the painting contractor estimate how many coats it will take, and spell out what you agree to if it is determined you need one other coat.

 

 

Does he provide a workmanship warranty? How will it work? Will he repaint absolutely, contact up, and pay for replacement paint? You need the warranty within the contract, too.

 

 

Insurance: a professional painting contractor ought to carry each liability insurance and workmen's comp. The first protects you if somebody is harm on the job site. If there is no coverage, you can be sued or your homeowner's insurance could should cover costs. Workmen's Comp insurance also protects you, as well because the crew. If they are harm, you don't have any liability for his or her lost wages.
