Painting the exterior or interior of your home is one of the most cost-efficient home developments that you can undertake. The first question you have to ask is, do you have the skills and knowledge to do the job on your own or call a professional?

The last thing you want to do is invest weeks or months of work and not be happy with the result and probably do more damage to the integrity of your home. If you have walked into a rental property and witnessed the numerous inferior paint jobs done by handymen or owners, you know what I mean.

So if you decide to hire a Wellington Licensed Painting business, what is the best way to go for it?

Look for recommendations while hiring a Wellington Licensed Painting business

The best way is to look for recommendations. Speak to neighbors, friends or relatives and find out if they have a good experience with a Wellington Licensed Painting business. Figure out if they were neat, clean, reliable and on time. I feel personal experience is the best recommendation.

If you can’t get personal recommendations, the next choice is to look for the internet or Yellow Pages or check with the paint stores in your area. The paint stores deal with companies on a regular basis and have a good long term relationship with a paint store. if there is an issue with a color or product, the store will back the company for material and labor and not just with a few gallons of paint. I would steer clear of the bog box stores as they generally suggest companies that pay them 20% f the total bills to a referred company.

Are they Wellington Licensed Painting business

Always hire a Wellington Licensed Painting business, not a handyman. If a handyman does damage to your house, you have no appeal. One clue is that a handyman will not only have five members on their license and a painting company will have six numbers.

If you hire a State licensed company, you also want to be sure that their license is active. You can check with the company’s license board online. All you have to do is enter the license number and it will show the name and status of the workers compensation carrier. I looked at a job lately and was underbid by a company that doesn’t have workers compensation. He claims to do the work on your own, but his website shows he has staffs. If his employees injures himself on the job, the homeowner will be responsible for his rehabilitation and medical bills. Most of the homeowners don’t understand this.

Are you convenient with them?

Any company worth hiring should be ready to consult with the owner. Don’t be scared to ask for assistance with colors. I have found spending some time finding out what my clients are looking for works out for both of us in the long haul. There is nothing harder than looking through a color deck and visualizing what it will look on the wall. Your company should be ready to do a paint out for you so that you can move around the room from shade to sun. You will be perplexed how it changes as the daylight changes.

Ask Questions

Here are some questions you may want to ask. What is the experience level of the staffs? How long they have been hired by the company? All of our staffs are full-time with the least experience with Good Guys Painting LTD.
