Homeowners dread hiring painting contractors because it can bring a lot of stressful surprises to a project. Here are some tips on hiring a painting contractor:
1.
Have all painting contractors give you an estimate for the same services including size of areas to be painted, type of paint, number of coats, preparation details, etc. so it will be easier to compare and chose the one that is right for you.
2.Ask each painting contractor his or her preparation process. If your walls have cracks, holes, missing plaster, or other flaws make sure the painter plans to scrape, patch, sand, caulk and prime.
Establish time guidelines as to when you expect the project to be completed and make sure the painting contractor can meet that guideline. When you schedule a free consultation one of our painters will walk you through the whole process from choosing your colors to cleaning up.
3.Establish details of any warranty BEFORE hiring a painting contractor and get it in writing. Career Custom Painters offers a 2 year written guarantee on all work before it is started.
4.Ask for names of recent customers who hired the painting contractor for a job similar to the one you have. Ask the customer if the painter met his or hers expectations as to the quality, cleanliness and timeline.
5.Ask the painting contractor to verify the painting company he works for carries liability insurance in case of any accidents. Ask to see a copy of the insurance and check the amounts to make sure it is enough to cover your furniture, house, etc., not just the room being painted. Career Custom Painters is fully insured to protect our customers.
