Hello World! Welcome Friends! One of the first ways homeowners begin to remodel or improve the look of their homes is by painting it. No matter the scope of the project, it is important that the painting be done right or it could end up looking worse. For many people, their best option is to hire a painter to do the job so that it is done right. There are many painting contractors to hire and finding the best one can be difficult. Below are some tips for finding a reputable Scottsdale Painting Company to hire such as the ones found at www.wow1day.com.
Work Experience
When comparing painting contractors to hire, it is always best to ask them how long they have been in business. If a company has been around for while, it is a good sign they have treated their customers well. However, just because a company is new does not mean they won’t do a good job. It will just be a little bit more of a risk to hire a company that is newly established versus a business that’s been around for many years.
Licensing
Never hire any contractor to do a job for you that isn’t licensed in your state. They should be able to show you proof of their state-issued work license as well as insurance to cover general liability and workers compensation. Reputable and honest painting contractors will have no problem supplying their customers with proof and proper documents showing they are working legally in all aspects. The insurance and licensing protects you and your home, the company and the workers.
Estimate
Before you hire a company and let them begin to work, get a full, formal estimate. If you don’t get an estimate beforehand, you will be setting yourself up for possible unexpected charges that you weren’t prepared for. The contractor should supply you with an estimate that lists the scope of the project, estimated time for completion, materials being used and costs for everything involved.
References and Guarantee
Most professional painting contractors will be able to provide references for you to call in order to get a better feeling about whether they are appropriate for the job you want done. If a contractor you are thinking about hiring won’t offer you a guarantee on their work, you may want to consider hiring another company. Most reputable companies will offer warranties on their work for a specified amount of time. Be sure to get that warranty in writing before letting any work be completed.
Bids and Cost
While you may want to save time and just choose the first contractor you interview, it is always a good rule to get at least three bids from contractors. This will help you make the best choice because you can compare each to find a good fit. The price of a contracting job is always a natural concern for homeowners. The lowest price should not always be the first or only consideration. In many cases, you get what you pay for. However, just because a company you interview charges more than the others doesn’t necessarily mean they are the best.
The quality of the paint job you get done on your home can make a big difference in the overall appearance. This makes finding the right painting contractor that much more important. Take time when interviewing contractors and ask any questions you might have before making your final decision.

Toodles,
My husband and I have been wanting to change up the color of our house for a while now, but we haven’t been sure of how to go about hiring a paint contractor. It is so true that asking them how long they’ve been in business can tell you a lot about how they have treated and will treat their customers. In my opinion, the more experience a contractor has, the more likely the customer is to like the outcome. I’ll be sure to remember this when I look around! Thanks.
The beauty of our house depends on the skills of a painting contractor. These are some great ways to hire a painting contractor.
These really great tips to hire a painting contractor. I think, a good painter is the most important for any home.. Thanks for sharing this concept.
Products used is another great question to add to your list. The products the contractor used will give insight to the kind of work they do. High quality products like Benjamin Moore Regal select, Natura or Aura will let you know there’s a good chance they take pride in their work because if they only used high quality products, chances are their work will be the same.
Just a thought for some of you to consider.
