Need A Painting Contractor? Tips To Finding The Best Painting Contractor

By Bob Savage


People love to get asked their opinion about things. Asking people about their recommendation about which interior and exterior painting contractor to hire will sometimes yield positive results. How do you know can trust some people's opinions? It may be important to get consensus from a variety of people on a few contractors. Here's how you can go ahead and do that.

It's a good idea to know the interior and exterior painting contractors interest in your project with a questionnaire before a personal meeting. For all you know, he might not be interested if he finds that the job is either too small for him or too big to handle and that would be a complete waste of time.

In case the interior and exterior painting contractors you hire lack workers compensation and insurance. Then you got to be wary of the whole agreement with them. However, to avert any delay, in such a case, you should consider insisting to take the workers of the contractor as your and act as a professional painters.

Spell out all requirements and expectations in the contract that you sign with your interior and exterior painting contractor. Just because a contractor usually takes responsibility for certain tasks, does not mean your contractor will and without these stipulations in the contract, you will not be able to hold them to these responsibilities.

You should always leave a little extra in the budget in case something unexpected comes up throughout the project. On the other hand, do not pay the interior and exterior painting contractor if they are not satisfactorily completing the project according to the specifications set out by you.

Ask for a couple of days after the completion before payment is due. Under no circumstances should this be more than a week. But, you need time to properly inspect project after the interior and exterior painting contractor is gone.

Try using Twitter to ask around your 'followers' to see if they know of any interior and exterior painting contractor that would benefit you. They could provide you with contractors all over the county but make sure the one you choose is local. Online people will be more honest about their reviews too.

If your interior and exterior painting contractor has provided you with references for their work it is important to use these references to your advantage. These references can help you to determine which contractor is right for the job by providing you insight into their previous work.

If an interior and exterior painting contractor fails to pay suppliers or workers of any sort then a lien could be placed against you. To prevent this you can call your local government office and go over their policy on liens.

Just like Facebook, Twitter is also a nice place to tap for skilled interior and exterior painting contractors. You can tweet that you are on the lookout for good contractors and then let your followers come up with their suggestions. People will generally not shy away from giving recommendations.
