How to Choose
How to Choose the Right Painting or Remodeling Contractor
Most property owners and homeowners only hire a painting or remodeling contractor every 7 to 10 years — and many don’t know what questions to ask to evaluate the contractor.
The following information is provided to assist property owners and homeowner’s in choosing a painting or home remodeling contractor. This is not an exhaustive list and all of the questions may not apply to your situation. We will be happy to provide you with a complete copy of our consumer guide and step-by-step painting or installation process prior to our first meeting.
Here are 3 areas we recommend you consider in evaluation every painting contractor you talk to:
The reputation and business stability of the painting company
- What is your rating with the BBB of Dallas?
- Are you registered with each city that you perform work in and will you provide us with proof?
- Will your agent supply a copy of your current insurance certificate?
- Will you provide a copy of your business registration for your current company? (This is proof of how long they have been in business.)
- Can you provide me with a reference list with at least 25 customers?
Their experience and methodology
- Will you provide a detailed breakdown of the service you are providing?
- Do you provide in-house painters and carpenters for every project?
- Do you have a written policy regarding smoking, drugs and alcohol by your crews?
- How do you verify the eligibility of your crew members to work in the US?
How much of a deposit do you require?
Service Before, During and After the Project
- Will you provide me your warranty in writing?
- Have you ever repainted or repaired a project that was out of warranty?
- What is your company phone policy?
- How often do you meet with homeowner to review job progress?
- Do you provide a price guarantee?
For each area, simply ask the questions and ask the painting or remodeling contractor to provide the evidence to support their answers.
