Things you should know before hiring
a contractor:
Check the painters license
(where applicable)
An exterior house painting company who is unlicensed
poses a risk to your financial security. Painters expose you
to significant financial harm in the event of injury or property
damage. Unlicensed painters usually do not have bonding or workers
compensation insurance.
An exterior house painting company who is unlicensed
may not have the expertise and qualifications to do the job
right the first time. You could end up having to hire a licensed,
reputable contractor to correct the work-and paying for the
job twice.
Check to see the painters pocket license and
some additional form of identification. The name on the pocket
license should be the same as the name of the contractor or
business name the contractor is working under.
Check the painter's references
Check the exterior house painting company's
references, and call them to see if they were satisfied with
the contractors work. Skilled contractors will be proud to take
credit for their work. Remember, the person you hire to work
in your house will be in and around your house until the job
is completed.
You may also wish to check the house painting
company out with your local consumer protection agency, consumer
fraud unit in your city or district attorney's office, and the
Better Business Bureau. We will be glad to provide you with
websites and phone numbers of these agencies just call one of
our customer care reps or check out our links section below.
Ask the exterior house painting company for
the address of his or her business location and business telephone
number, and verify them. A contractor who operates a business
out of the back of a pickup truck with a cellular telephone
may be difficult to find to complete a job or fix something
that has gone wrong after the last bill is paid.
Make sure the painterhas workers' compensation
and liability insurance coverage. (when applicable)
Verify that the house painting company is insured
against claims covering workers compensation, property damage,
and personal liability in case of accidents. Ask to see a copy
of the certificate of insurance, or ask for the name of the
insurance carrier and agency to verify that the painter has
the insurance.
Painters must tell you whether or not they
carry painters liability insurance and that it will protect
against third-party bodily injury and property damage. If uninsured,
they should be able to explain how they would cover losses that
would ordinarily be covered by insurance.
Bonds
Some bonds are designed to protect you against
substandard work that does not comply with local building codes.
Bonds do not assure the financial or professional integrity
or competency of a painting contractor.
Institutional lenders such as savings and loans,
insurance companies or commercial banks generally require painters
to secure bonds for large jobs.
