Guide To Hiring A Professional Painter

by | Nov 21, 2015 | Business

If you are like many busy homeowners you lack the time, the talent and the tools to numerous things around the home. If one of the things you are not good at is painting then the alternative is to hire a professional San Antonio painter. The contractor has everything that is needed to get the job done and get it done right. As well as doing a great job, professional painters stand behind their work and provide a multi-year warranty on their work.

Getting a professional in to the job is one thing; the paint you use is something else again. The best painter cannot do a great job if he has to work with inferior paint. The finished product is only as good as the materials used, the surface preparation and the skills of the painter. Take the time; do your homework before you hire a San Antonio painter; it makes no difference whether the job is a single or every room inn the house; you’re paying and you deserve nothing but the best.

Finding the painter:

It is not hard to find names, the phone book is full of them and many have a web site, unfortunately there is no way to know just by looking at names to know if they are responsible, reliable and professional. A great place to get names of the best painters is to go where they go; local paint and painters supply stores. Many stores that deal with professionals maintain a registry of the painters and painting contractors in the area and based on the volume of paint they buy the store is in a good position to put you in the right direction, the direction of those that are known and have an excellent reputation.

Interviewing the painters:

A big mistake is basing your decision on the lowest price. Yes, price is important, but you owe it to yourself to take time to interview those that come highly recommended. Knowing some of the questions to ask may be the difference between your getting the best or one of the rest.

Find out how much experience they have, check into their working history. If they have come from the home building industry and then decided to strike out as an independent this is a good sign. If they do work for contractors, find out who they are, do these contractors have a good reputation; all of these things are good signs.

Ask to see proof that the contractor is licensed, bonded and insured, these are important issues that need to be addressed before you make your final choice.
