Finding a 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. If you hire a qualified Sacramento painter you can be certain he’ll have all the proper equipment to complete the job quickly and safely.
The reason you want to paint your home is to keep it in good repair and maintain appearances, but if the paint job is bad or the materials used are inferior, you won’t be happy with the end results. Anyone can paint but to do the job right takes a certain degree of talent so you don’t want to hire anyone that claims to be a painter until you check them out first. 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
Once you know you need to hire a qualified Sacramento painter to do the work there are a lot of ways to begin looking. Home improvement centers and paint stores are a good place to check. Many of these stores will have bulletin boards where painters and other contractors can post their business cards. Search the internet for a listing of Sacramento painters local to your area. Usually only professionals will take the time involved for the certification process.
Check with people you know to see if they have any past experience with a painter. If someone has used the services of a painter, they’ll probably be willing to show you as well as let you know if they are satisfied with the work or not. If you examine the work and like it, ask for contact information for the Sacramento painter. Look through the business directory of your phone book. It’s still considered one of the most reliable ways of locating businesses and services.
Meeting with a Sacramento Painter
Don’t hire a Sacramento painter simply because he offers you a cheap deal. 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. Select a few painters to do an onsite inspection of your home. Take this time to discuss their experience within the trade. Ask if they have ever done any work with other contractors or homebuilding companies. The fact that someone is being hired by other trade professionals is always a good sign of quality work.
Ask each a Sacramento painter for proof of current license and insurance. It’s important for a Sacramento painter to have liability insurance in place to protect you and your home from damage. If they have employees that work with them you need to make sure they also have workers compensation insurance. If an employee gets hurt while working on your property, you don’t want to be held liable for any potential medical bills. Be sure any painter you want to hire is bonded. If he fails to fulfill the terms of the contract the bond will provide protection in helping you get your project completed.
Follow up on any references provided by the Sacramento painter but don’t rely on them as your only basis for hiring someone. References can certainly be helpful but keep in mind that if there are any unhappy customers, you’re not going to get their contact information. The Better Business Bureau is a better choice when it comes to checking out any contractor. They can tell you if there are any complaints on file and if they were satisfactorily settled. An occasional complaint isn’t uncommon but how the painter takes care of it says a lot about his business practices.
Once you have your short list of painters, you’re ready to ask for some bids. If you don’t plan ahead, this could be confusing since every Sacramento painter has his own method of handling a job, from the paint he prefers to use to the final cleanup. Even exterior prep work can vary, with one painter preferring to do a quick pressure wash while another one may choose to scrape and sand. These differences can greatly impact the figures on the bids you receive. Provide each Sacramento painter with a detailed list of what you want included in your particular project. By setting some guidelines you should get back some uniform bids that will be much easier to compare.
Getting a Contract from a Sacramento Painter
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. Make certain that a time frame for completion of your project is included.
Find out if the painter includes a guarantee for his work if there is a problem with fading, chipping or peeling within a specific amount of time. If there is one make sure it’s also in writing that the painter will fix the problem at little or no cost to you. While the paint itself may come with an extensive warranty, it will not include the labor cost of having the job redone.
You want to hire a painter you can rely on. He’ll most likely be doing much of the work when you’re not there and it will be impossible to know exactly how thorough he is. When that final coat of paint is on you won’t be able to tell if the surface was primed or if there were two coats of paint or only one. It’s just as important to hire a reliable Sacramento painter as any other contractor and you need to find the one best suited for your project.
