Benefits of Hiring a Professional Painter Near You
You may have thought along this process that you can just paint your remodel yourself. But let’s be honest – you’re pressed for time, your project may be behind schedule, and the thought of investing in all the equipment you’ll need to do a good job can be another expense in a long list of things you didn’t exactly plan for during this project. Hiring a professional not only speeds up the process, they have all the equipment already – so that’s an investment you won’t have to make.
Here are some other reasons you should hire a professional painter in the Roaring Fork Valley to paint your remodel:
Insurance: Reputable painters will have liability and worker’s compensation insurance, protecting you in case of accidents. Talk with Todd and ask him for the limits for our liability and worker’s compensation insurance.
How Do I Hire A Painter in Glenwood Springs or Carbondale?
One issue we’ve run into quite frequently is homeowners not understanding how to read and compare estimates they’ve received leading up to hiring their painter. We recommend taking the following steps to ensure you’re hiring a professional and end up with a guaranteed & warrantied final product you can be proud of.
Get everything in writing: Have a written estimate outlining the scope of work, timeline, materials to be used, cost breakdown (labor vs. materials), and payment schedule.
Get at least 3 estimates: This will give you a good idea of pricing and allow you to compare services offered by different painters. Be sure you’re comparing apples to apples – for example, some painters may use lower quality paint, or only apply 1 coat of paint vs 3 coats. This could end up causing frustration in the end.
Ask about qualifications and insurance: Make sure the painter is licensed and insured. Some communities in the Roaring Fork Valley require licenses as well. Ask your painter to name yourself or your project as an additional insured on their liability insurance. Ensure they have worker’s compensation on their employees.
Request references: Contact references to get their experience with the painter’s work ethic, quality, and communication. Review their portfolio of work and have conversations with them about how they’d handle certain scenarios such as time delays, and make sure you’re comfortable with their professionalism and communication style
