Whether you’re interested in selling your home or just looking to make a few upgrades, a fresh coat of paint can make a world of difference for both your interior design and return on investment. It’s important to choose a painting contractor who will work with you to get the job done on time and within your predetermined budget.

3 Must-Have Painting Contractor Qualities

1. Industry Experience

Every painting project is different, and it’s important to know the contractor you hire has experience in what you need done. For example, exterior painting requires different tools and skills including pre-treatments such as sanding and pressure washing. Ask to see a portfolio of previous work or a before and after gallery; they should also offer printed copies for reference.

2. Effective Communication 

Even with strategic and detailed scheduling, projects don’t always go according to plan. If an issue arises with your project — such as hairline cracks, excessive moisture, or structural issues — your painting contractor should notify you immediately and develop a plan of action to keep your project on course. Ask what their troubleshooting process is and how they handle challenging situations.

3. Great Customer Reviews

A company may look great online, but customer reviews will give you the most comprehensive insight into what it’s like to work with them. Look for key factors such as licensing, bonding, and insurance, response to feedback, guarantees and warranties, and any other supporting information that speaks to their quality, craftsmanship, and customer service.
