| 6 Common Mistakes when
Hirng
A Painting Contractor #1 Hiring on price alone. Legitimate contractors have business costs that many contractors do not regard as important— such as insurance, training, membership in trade associations, and more. #2 Paint is paint. Today’s paints are complex chemical formulations. Recommending the best product for your particular situation will help provide a more durable job. #3 Relying on painting experience alone. More than 90% of the contractors in business today will go out of business within 5 years. A contractor who is not in business cannot service warranty issues. #4 Not obtaining a written proposal. A detailed, written proposal will help eliminate misunderstandings and tell you exactly what is included. Know what you are paying for. #5 Not checking references. A reputable contractor will be able to provide a long list of past customers. Talk to the references and drive by a few jobs to see what kind of work the contractor performs. #6 Hiring uninsured contractors. An uninsured contractor takes a tremendous risk. He is financially and morally liable if he damages your property. If he can’t pay for the damage, you will. |
