Back in the old days, if you needed a painter, you’d look in the Yellow Pages. That was a book published by AT&T that listed numbers for all businesses in a certain area. That was back when everyone had a landline phone. Today, finding local painting contractors, like everything else, requires the internet. Finding a good one is going to take a little extra.
This video outlines eight basic tips for hiring local painting contractors. You might want to ask the contractor how long they’ve been in business. You want someone with a good deal of experience. You will want to ask how experienced the painters themselves are as well. It’s best to go with someone licensed with qualifications. It’s a very good idea to ask about insurance coverage since you never know when an accident can happen. Asking about the prep work the crew has in mind is also a good idea. A list of references will give you an idea of what the finished project will be like. Ask the painter if they can recommend the best materials to use on your project. Get everything in writing. Of course, you are going to have to ask how much they charge.
Hopefully these tips will help you find reliable local painting contractors for your next project.
