CHOOSING THE RIGHT CONTRACTOR
Finding the right painting contractor can be a tiring
experience, but don’t loose hope. Here
are a few helpful tips to make the process less daunting.
PLANNING YOUR PROJECT
Plan your home improvement carefully. Give detailed layouts of what you want as a
finished project, include: colors, type
of finishes and where to be applied.
“YOU’RE THE BOSS!”
PRICING
The low bid is not always a bargain. It may be the start of homeowners
horror story. There are lots of reasons
to be suspicious of a price that is substantially lower than the others, such
as: unlicensed or uninsured contractor, inexperience labor, use of lesser
quality products, not having the experience to do the job you envisioned, just
to name a few.
“PICK A PRO!”
ASK FOR REFERENCES
