How to Hire Sacramento Painter
If you own your own home you probably enjoy doing some of the maintenance yourself, but if you don’t like heights or climbing ladders, painting can be a little intimidating. Hiring a professional painter to take on the project is probably an easier solution particularly when dealing with ladders and high places. Sacramento painter can safely and quickly complete the job for you.
The purpose of painting your home is to improve its appearance but if the work is unprofessional or the products inferior your job won’t be successful. Painting is not the hard part. Doing it right is and knowing how to paint properly takes some knowledge and talent, so don’t just hire someone that says they can paint. No matter what the size of the project is, you need to feel assured that you’re hiring the best painter for your specific job.
Where to Locate a Professional Sacramento Painter
There are plenty of places to look if you decide to hire a professional Sacramento painter. A good place to check is with the local home building store center or paint store. Many contractors, including painters will use the bulletin board to post their information. Do a search online for a directory of certified local Sacramento painters. Since getting listed in these directories can sometimes involve time and money, they are often only used by qualified professionals.
Maybe you have a friend or family member that is familiar with a painter. They’ll probably be happy to show you any work they’ve had done and tell you if they’re happy with the job or not. If the Sacramento painter did a good job, it could be an excellent way to get a recommendation. Don’t forget to look in the yellow pages of your phone directory. It’s probably still the most traditional method of locating local help when you need it.
Meeting with Sacramento Painter
Hiring Sacramento painter based solely on his estimate is not usually a good idea. When asking for an estimate take some time to actually conduct interviews to help you find the right painter for the work you want done. Choose a few painters to come to your home and look over the project. Start by asking each one some questions concerning their past experience and knowledge in the field. Find out if they have subcontracted with any homebuilders or other local contractors or companies. The fact that someone is being hired by other trade professionals is always a good sign of quality work.
Ask each Sacramento painter for proof of current license and insurance. It’s important for Sacramento painter to have liability insurance in place to protect you and your home from damage. They should also have workers compensation if they have employees. If a worker gets injured on your property and there’s no insurance in place, you could be held liable for any medical expenses. Make certain the painter is also bonded. If he should leave you with some unfinished work you then have recourse for getting the job completed.
Follow up on any references provided by the Sacramento painter but don’t rely on them as your only basis for hiring someone. Having references is always a good idea but remember that are any discontented customers out there, they won’t be on the list. A better choice for checking any contractor is the Better Business Bureau. If there have been any complaints they will be able to let you know as well as tell you if any complaints have been taken care of. Having one or two complaints doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a problem but how the painter took care of the complaint is what matters.
Once you have your short list of painters, you’re ready to ask for some bids. Bids can be confusing if you aren’t prepared. Every painter has his own methods of doing the job, from the brand of paint to how he handles the cleanup. There might also be different methods used in preparation work. One painter may only use a pressure washer for exterior preparation while another might painstakingly scrape and sand the entire surface. Both of these techniques require varying time and effort and this will show in the bids you get. Provide each Sacramento painter with a detailed list of what you want included in your particular project. This way when you look at the bids they should all be uniform in the scope and details of the project which will make them much easier to compare.
The Sacramento Painter Contract
Once you’ve found the Sacramento painter you feel is right for your project it’s time to get a contract in place. A contract should include a detailed outline of the job stating exactly what work is to be done, how it will be done and the paint that will be used along with the cost of materials and labor and an agreed upon payment schedule. It should also include all the painter’s contact information as well as his contractor’s license number. He should also attach copies of any necessary insurance policies. You’ll also want a date for completion of the job.
The painter should provide some type of guarantee in case there is chipping or peeling of the paint within a couple of years after the job is completed. Ask to get it in writing to ensure that any such repairs will not be at your expense. The paint itself will probably have a warranty but that doesn’t include the expense of having the work done all over again.
When you hire a painter you want to know it’s going to be someone you can trust. The painter will probably be working alone most of the time and you won’t be able to watch him every step of the way. When the job is finished you will have a hard time telling if the proper primer was used or if there were one or two coats of paint applied. Your choice of a qualified Sacramento painter is just as essential as choosing any contractor to work on your home and you should take the time to hire the best.
