What to Consider When Hiring a Painting Contractor
House Painting Projects involve extensive preparation, working with hazardous materials, and the need to paint in hard to reach places.  Experienced painters will have the proper tools, experience, and work with paint products that achieve the best result.  When hiring a painting contractor your should consider the following criteria:

  • Licensed:  The Painting Company should be licensed by the state of California.  The larger the  license number indicates the length of time that the contractor has been licensed.  The smaller numbers indicate that the painting contractor has been licensed longer.   Epic Painting is licensed in the state of California, License number 906777.  (check our license number with the state of California here).

  • Free Estimate: They should provide a detailed, written estimate.  It is important. It will be your agreement as to the amount and type of work to be performed so you and your painting contractor are on the same page about all aspects of the job.

  • Timeframe: It is  important to ask if all the work will be done at once. During the busy season, contractors can get stretched too thin. You don't want your painter to juggle your job along with several others.

  • What's Included:  Determine who will be responsible for taking down wall décor, window coverings, moving furniture, etc. Painters have differing policies on this. Many ask that the client take care of wall décor and anything small and breakable, but will handle all the furniture and window coverings.

  • Down Payment:  Be wary of anyone who asks for a substantial down payment and never give anyone more than 50% of the price up front. For large jobs, ask for a progressive payment plan. You will pay as work is completed while reserving the final payment for satisfactory completion of all work, including the final touch up.  Remember, trust goes both ways. Always pay your contractor on time and in the correct amount. If it's a long job, make sure that the installments you pay are fair.

  • Cost should not be the only factor when hiring a contractor. Also consider their track record and your gut feeling. Since you'll be working with this person and providing access to your home, you'd better like and trust him or her. If the bid difference is minimal, choose the contractor you feel better about, even if it costs a little more.
  • Check references.  A good painting contractor will have references.  You may also want to ask for properties they have painted and do a drive by to look at their work.

  • Remember:  It's okay to pay top dollar for a great paint job; but, it's not okay to pay top dollar for mediocre work.  Deciding the kind of paint job required for the project is half the battle.
