Starting a new painting project can be exciting. However, even the most well-intentioned DIY efforts can go south quickly, resulting in wasted money and a spotty wall. Hiring painting contractors can mean you get it done right the first time and that you don’t get a crick in your neck. But what do you need to look for when you want interior or exterior house painting? Here are some tips to help you find a painting contractor that will meet all your needs and more!
What exactly can you expect from a professional painting contractor? Some of their typical responsibilities include:
Researching these important questions can help you find a professional company you’re confident working with.
There’s no reason to feel sheepish about asking your contractor whether they have insurance or not. Not only is insurance a sign that the contractor is prepared, but it can also give you extra peace of mind. After all, they are coming into your home and working on your property. Along with business liability, make sure that your contractor has workers’ compensation, as well. This protects both the workers and yourself, as it’ll shield you from liability in the case of an accident. The best painting contractors will have adequate insurance.
When researching interior house painters, the best information can come from past clients. If a contractor is shifty about previous work or clients, that’s a red flag. A company with nothing to hide will readily provide you with references and make them easily available. Don’t be shy when it comes to asking for references–it’s your right as a potential customer!

Whether hiring an interior or exterior house painter, the security of your home is always an issue. Getting work done on your house can make one feel vulnerable, as you’ll have strangers coming in and out of your home. Your contractor must take the necessary measures to ensure a secure working environment. It’s reasonable to ask:

A contractor needs to use quality materials if you want work that will last. Your painting company should be able to confirm–in writing–the materials they will use. This way, you can be confident that the final product will hold up against wear and tear and cover imperfections. Beyond materials, feel free to ask your contractor about their preparation process. Thorough site preparation and quality paint will result in a solid product.
Make it more productive for both you and your contractor by having a solid idea of what you want to be done. Ask yourself
