Phoenix, AZ, April 10, 2007.
Spring is here and with its arrival, a lot of homeowners are starting to plan a number of home improvement projects to be completed in the next few months. Coincidentally, the Spring and Summer months, traditionally, are also the busiest months for painting contractors.
No matter the size of the house or the type of job, every homeowner may face the task of selecting and hiring a professional painting company.
Based on our own customers’ feedback, we have gathered a few tips that will assist you during this decision making process.
- Make sure you have your contractor put up color samples before painting. Colors can look substantially different once dry on your walls.
- Any contractor you hire should be willing to furnish you with a written scope of work specifically outlining what work he/she intends to do and with what products. Make sure all bids you receive are actually bidding the same things. A change to an inferior product can result in a lower price and an inferior paint job.
- Inquire about the contractor’s warranty. Our standard warranty is three years. Longer warranties are available when using superior paint products. Every contractor should provide some type of warranty for the work they perform.
- When hiring a contractor, be sure to look up the status of their license with the Registrar of Contractors, whether or not they are PDCA members (our national trade organization), and BBB members.
- For larger commercial jobs, ask for computer generated color renderings showing what your property will look like in a chosen paint color. Most paint companies provide renderings upon request. (allow one to two weeks)
- Before choosing which product to use, compare the products available from our most popular vendors: Dunn Edwards, Frazee, ICI, and Sherwin Williams.
