Winslow Painting, Inc wants to share a few tips when you’re seeking to hire a professional painting company.
Painting Experience
When you’re looking to hire a paint company, one of the first things you will want to consider is the company’s experience. You will want to know how long a company has been in business and most important of all, how long their painters have been painting. You can trust a company who has been practicing at least two to three years. Also prospective painting contractors should be able to provide references so if you wish you could contact them for an idea as to what others thought of their work.
Licensed Painting Contractors
Next thing you will want to know is that the company is properly licensed. You will want to see if the painting company or contractor has a state license and general liability insurance. It is most important to find a contractor that has all of the legal licensing and insurances required for a proper business practice. A reputable company will be able to provide all the documentation, so don’t hesitate to ask for it right away.
Paint Prep
Ask the contractor or company you’re planning on using what preparation work will be necessary. See what they do to prep for the job. You can tell a cheaper job if they skimp on the prep work. Preparation is most important for an efficient and clean job. You can tell right away what to expect of the contractor by what they will say about their preparation work.
Color Consultant & Painting Recommendations
Speak to your prospective contractor. See what materials and paints they recommend for the job you’re asking them to complete. Knowledge is a big part of their job and if they don’t seem to have any advice or guidance, they might not be very experienced. Professional painters should be able to share what techniques they prefer as well as paint and materials. Don’t base your decision just on the techniques or materials though. After all, there are many ways to receive the same professional clean paint job that you will enjoy.
Painting Job Estimate
Make sure to ask for an estimate of the work, and all materials used. Have them write it down so you have the figure number projected. This is also great for comparing prices with other contractors you might be considering. If you choose, you can share the bid with the other companies so they can be competitive. Some will shave a bit off the price to get the work. Be warned however, if one seems to drop extremely low, they might be skimping on a few things just to get the job. Keep in mind, the cheapest bid might not be the best quality.
