Deciding on which paint contractor to go with is the next step after you have gathered all the potential ones. Look through these tips when choosing one to make sure you’ll have a quality job done.

Identification of job

Make a list of the exact job to be done; like which areas you would need painting, particular colors you would want and when you would want the job to be finished. This is the crucial part in planning for the whole paint job as this is where you will decide exactly what you want and when you want it done.

Contact contractors and ask for quotations

This is where you call and contact each painting contractors on your list and discuss the job you would want done and ask for quotations from each one of them. Some contractors will have a quotation ready depending on the job while some will get back to you at a later time with the quotation prepared.

Gather recommendations

Upon contacting each contractor, try to gather references and recommendations preferably from similar jobs done previously. Get in touch with their previous clients and ask the appropriate questions regarding the previous paint jobs done.

Have the contractor over and ask for pre-painting procedures

Find out if the contractor is punctual and professional when dealing with you. Ask as mush questions as needed regarding the job to be done and their quotations. It is important to know what measures they will take to protect your house and belongings during the process. Ask for pre-painting procedures like caulking, protecting, proofing, sanding, and other procedures that the contractors will do. Also inquire about the quotations given and try to find out why they are giving more or less fee than the other ones. Check if high quality products will be used or if the contractor will hire more help or will do the job himself.

Hire the best candidate

Cross-check and review all information gathered and find out which one will suit your needs best. High priced paint job can also mean good quality jobs, so it doesn’t necessarily fall on the quotations given to you. Now you can make an informed decision on who is the best paint job contractor for you.
