By What Method To Search For A Skilled Painting Contractor And Save Yourself The Headache

By What Method To Search For A Skilled Painting Contractor And Save Yourself The Headache


by Joan Ames


You want to find a good residential painting contractor with whom you can build a solid business relationship and a relationship of trust. Most of the work that comes to contractors who are good at their trade come from repeat business. Once you find yourself a good contractor, you found someone to call on again and again to take on your projects.

The residential painting contractor you hire for your project needs to be an expert in all local zoning ordinances and laws, or you could be in for a lot of problems. You can bring your plans and drawings to your local government and ask them to evaluate them for compliance if you're concerned about your contractor's level of expertise (or lack thereof.)

When you select a general residential painting contractor, you do not have to be involved in any painter contract negotiation. Your contractor will enter into agreements with all of the sub-contractors and negotiate the terms for the job themselves. The only thing you should be concerned about is making sure the contractor pays the subs what is owed on your job.

You want a residential painting contractor that is careful to maintain professionalism with his clients and colleagues. If you find one who is consistently given positive reviews, you should consider that contractor.

Inquire about the residential painting contractor offering free estimates. Have the contractor guarantee the estimate within a certain percentage so unexpected costs cannot add up at the end. A reliable contractor should know the cost of labor, materials, and overhead before starting the work, but unexpected issues do arise so a slight billing change can be expected.

Make a pros and cons list of every residential painting contractor that you interview. If one contractor has more pros than all the others then you know this must be the one for your job. Don't just rely on this list though. Make sure you do proper research as well as the pros and cons list.

Some less-than-reputable residential painting contractors think it's acceptable to conduct business with only a "gentleman's agreement" - that is, nothing more than a verbal understanding and a handshake. But if something goes wrong, or the contractor leaves you in the lurch, you won't have the protection that a written contract affords you.

Don't be surprised if it takes a few months to find and hire a good residential painting contractor. You need patience because finding the right contractor takes precedence over a couple of months delay in hiring. You have to be completely convinced that the contractor you hire is the ideal one for you.

Fund your residential painting contractors through a third party. While there is an additional cost, funding through a third party can help minimize potential problems and conflicts. Definitely worth the small upfront expenditure.
