How to Contract the Best Commercial Painter?

So, you have decided to ramp up the look and feel of your office with a fresh coat of paint? Well, now comes the daunting challenge of finding a reliable commercial painting contractor.

Don’t you worry!

Here are a few tips that will help you find a great commercial painting contractor who will offer you high-quality interior and exterior painting services at an unbeatable price:

Make sure the contractor is insured.

Every great painting contractor should be sufficiently insured. They should have a valid insurance policy with enough coverage for both property damages and physical injuries that may result because of their work. Any contractor who does not have valid insurance is best avoided.

Be wary of contractors who ask for a deposit!

Although some commercial painting contractors may ask for a small deposit before even picking up the paintbrush, no great contractor will ask you to make an upfront payment. Great contractors have experienced professionals and have more than enough operating income, which means that they can easily afford to buy supplies and make the payroll.

Make sure they offer warranties.

A great painting contractor works with a team of skilled and experienced painters whose work they know can stand behind with fair warranties. The not-so-great contractors would probably not be able to back up their services with a warranty for any number of reasons.

Do they have a BBB rating?

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is a reliable customer rating organization that rates companies based on some key indicators. Make sure you visit the BBB website and find the rating of the painting contractor you are considering. In addition to that, be sure to check how long the painting contractor has been accredited by the BBB and if they have been able to resolve all the complaints (if there are any) in a timely manner. Sketchy painting contractors will probably have a huge number of unresolved complaints and, thus, a poor rating... or they may not be affiliated by the BBB at all!

Look at their past work.

Take a look at some of the painting contractors’ past work to assess the quality of their painting job as well as the durability of the paint they use. You may also want to ensure that the contractor has properly handled any required follow-up or payment problems. As you might have guessed, a great contractor is going to have a lot to show... whereas an amateur contractor will probably not.

Check out their website.

Of course, not all good painting contractors will have a website, but great contractors will. These professionals are successful business people, and they understand that people want instant information in this digital age. Not only that, but they will also have a high-quality website, with every information that you need to know about them, right there.

For some office managers, hiring a commercial painting company feels like stepping up to a roulette wheel, a nerve-wracking gamble with unknown odds. Most give up early on the hope of finding a reliable painter at an affordable price. But now you can eliminate the risk with these secrets to finding a great painting contractor. Just follow these simple rules, and you will hit the jackpot!
