Top 10 Questions To Ask Before Hiring A Professional Painter

Larry Walty II • September 20, 2021

Choosing whether to paint yourself or hire a professional painting company can be a difficult decision. Finding qualified local painting and  commercial roofing contractors  can be a daunting task. Especially if you were not referred to them or have never seen their work. Whether you need interior or exterior painting assistance, asking a few questions before hiring someone can make your project go much more smoothly.

Here are the top ten questions you should ask a professional painter before hiring them for your project.

  1. How will my project be managed?

Inquire of the contractor how the project will be managed; will the person who provided the estimate be on-site as well, or will everything be handled through a central management office?

  1. Are you insured?

You don’t want to work with a painting contractor who isn’t insured. If you want, you can also request to see an insurance certificate. A good contractor will not hesitate to show you.

  1. What organizations does your company belong to?

Membership in professional groups might suggest a steady firm, so don’t be hesitant to inquire whether the business you’re calling is affiliated with anything larger than itself.

  1. What if we go over budget?

A professional contractor will offer you an estimate that is quite accurate. They will notify you as soon as possible if it appears that you will exceed the estimate. You want a contractor who will alert you to potential problems before they occur.

  1. What paint brands will you use?

Commercial roof repair  contractors who utilize high-quality materials are aware of the significant differences in paints and other materials available – and you should inquire about the items the contractor intends to use on your job.

  1. Who will be working in my home?

Inquire as to whether your contractor is the one who will be working in your home. Additionally, you should inquire whether the contractor does background checks on individuals and whether the workers are employees or subcontractors.

  1. Do you have references?

No personal information from prior clients is fine, but you should check online reviews. Negative reviews are likely if they’ve had a bad experience with a customer (or several). Remember that a few bad reviews among dozens of positive ones could be sour grapes.
