Warning: Anyone can call Himself a Painting Contractor.
The way to pick a pro is to ask your potential painter some questions.
- How long have you been in business? Longevity hints that a company will still be around if problems arise later.
- Are you insured? If he isn't and has an accident while working for you, you're liable.
- What kind of paint do you use, and does its manufacturer guarantee it? Problems with paint rarely happen, "but any product can have a flaw."
- Do you guarantee your work? He should, for at least a year.
- Do you belong to the local builders association? "You can't just pay dues and join. The builders association checks on applicants to make sure they pay their bills and that it looks as if they'll be in business for a while."
- Will you provide references? "Nothing eases your mind like seeing the work for yourself."
