Whether on the interior or exterior, a fresh coat of paint is an efficient way to update your home. Achieving a high-end, luxury finish requires the expertise and skill of a professional; however, not just any painting contractor will do. To ensure you end up with a qualified team, fine-tune your vetting process.

3 Questions to Ask Your Painting Contractor

1. Are You Fully Insured?

All reputable companies are concerned with protecting their clients, so a lack of insurance is a notable red flag. The correct business coverage offers financial compensation for any damage or injuries that occur during the project. Without a policy in place, you could end up facing the cost of repairs or employee medical bills instead of the contractor.

2. What Paint Brands & Types Do You Utilize?

Price doesn't always correspond with quality, but some brands offer tried and true formulas that produce impeccable results. High-traffic and moisture-prone areas of the home also require specific solution styles and finishes to hold up against wear and tear. As a result, you need to choose a painting contractor that utilizes high-quality formulations and the correct base for each space. Before accepting a bid, verify the materials your quote covers.

3. Do You Have Examples of Your Work?

Aside from talking to past clients, viewing examples of a painter's past projects helps assess their work quality. Ask for a digital or physical portfolio that highlights similar projects to yours, such as residential interior painting. By browsing these images, you have the opportunity to gauge their experience and skill set.
