Here are a few tips on hiring a great painting contractor, these tips can also be used when hiring any type of home improvement specialists.....
Meet the pros. Call in at least three different contractors for your job. Keep in mind an experienced painting contractor will need more than a quick walk around your house.
State your expectations. The number of coats a house painter applies is not the only factor to consider. Preparation is also key. If you want a surface that’s free of unevenness from past paint jobs, tell the painting contractors—and be prepared to pay extra. But if you can live with some imperfections, agree on what level of prep is acceptable.
Get estimates. Seek a written estimate from each painting contractor. It should include the number of coats of primer and paint, the brand and model of materials, and a detailed description of the amount of surface preparation that will be done.
Consider credentials. Before you hire someone, consider the paint company's credentials. Membership in a trade or local business group, for example, it shows a level of commitment and reliability on the painting company's part. Also verify whether the painter has the appropriate license(s).
Ask for a guarantee. The painting contractor should promise to correct any chipping, peeling, blistering, flaking, or excessive fading that occurs within three years after the job is done at no or little cost.
Stick with these few rules when you are hiring a painting contractor and you'll be sure to find the right company for the job.
