Choosing a Painting Company
By Chad R Fisher. It is hard work to find a reputable painting contractor. There are many ways you can go about selecting a company to paint the interior or exterior of your home, this article will discuss the ways.
Most people start off selecting a contractor through a recommendation from a friend. This is a great way to get going as you already have someone that has tried the business out and had a good experience with them. Even if you get a recommendation from a friend, you should consider getting multiple bids on your project - at least 3. One of the easiest ways to find a contractor is to go online. If you go to Google search and type in “Painting Contractor” you wil see a lot of names pop up. The right hand side of the screen is the paid advertising section (where Google makes all it’s money) and the left hand side is the organic search area.
After you’ve checked out a few painting company web sites, the next step is to set up a time for a bid on your project. After you’ve narrowed down your contractors, make sure to check that they are licensed and bonded to operate in your state. It’s also smart to ask for references so you can talk to them on the phone and then visually inspect the project to see if they can provide the quality you are looking for.
It’s also a good idea to check with the better business bureau. Many companies maintain membership there and they have a good system for logging customer complaints about all their member businesses.
