We are all different and all have different criteria that are important in choosing a painting contractor (or any contractor for that matter). Feel free to modify the list to meet your needs.Provided by CertaPro Painters of Kalamazoo/Battle Creek.
Top 10 Questions to Ask Your Prospective Painter
- Insurance. Did they leave a copy of their insurance with you and did you call to verify that it’s valid?
- Warranty. Do they have a written two year warranty that covers against peeling, flaking and chipping? Will they be in business next year to back it up?
- Payment. How much of a deposit or payment before the job is completed are they asking for?
- Proposal. Have they provided you a written proposal instead of an estimate? • Does it outline what surface prep will be provided? • Are all areas to be painted outlined clearly?
- References. Were they able to provide you references with customer comments?
- Experience. Have you seen their work?
- Guarantee. Will they call you after the paint has dried?
- Recognition. Are they a nationally recognized company that has been on shows like Bob Villa Home Again or The Rachel Ray Show?
- Price. Is the price too good to be true?
- Deliver. Do you feel confident that they will deliver what they promise?
