How to Choose the RIGHT Painting Contractor

Choosing the right painting contractor makes all the difference.

Often times homeowners are disappointed in their painting contractor after the project is completed, but knowing the right things to ask on the front end can make all the difference in the world. If you are not familiar with hiring contractors, use these questions to uncover potential problems BEFORE they happen.

• How long will the project take? Can you guarantee your completion date?
• How long has the painting contractor been in business, and have you changed your name since you started?
• Are your workers paid as employees? And are they covered under your workman’s’ compensation policy?
• Do you have an active liability policy, and can you send me proof?
• Do you require a deposit and what kind of payment options do you provide?
• How many coats of paint will you be applying?
• How will you apply the paint? With brushes and rollers or spray equipment?
• What kind of prep is included in your bid?
• Will you be moving my furniture, or do I need to do it prior to the start date?
• What hours will your crew work?
• Do you have recent referrals you can send me from customers in my area?
• Can I see examples of the work you have completed?

These questions won’t avoid ALL problems that can occur, but they will help avoid some of the most common. Of course you should always insist on a written contract that details the work to be performed.
