5 Questions to Ask When Hiring Exterior Painting Experts


By the time you’ve finished the interview you’ll already know if this is the right company to tackle your exterior painting job.

Curb appeal -- it’s what people see when they drive by your home. There’s a sense of pride in maintaining your home’s look and feel, which is why choosing between exterior painting experts can cause more stress than it should. Write down these five questions to ask your potential candidates, and you’ll have no trouble making the best choice fast.

What can you tell me about your business?

When it comes to exterior painting services Katy TX has many companies from which to choose. Deciding which is right for you could be in the answer to this question. Ask them about their history and experience to get a better idea of their pride for their craft.

Are you licensed and insured?

If a painter were to turn around and smash your large bay window to pieces with a ladder, who’s going to pay for the repair? Believe it or not, some residential painting services don’t hold a license, and many more have no insurance. A quality company will have the proper working license and insurance information available when requested, especially if the company is offering a quote.

What type of guarantees do you offer?

Even if you're confident in the company you hire, you never know if your exterior painting job will turn out terrible. In the event the color of your home isn't the one that you agreed upon, you have the right to request compensation from your painting company. Ensure that they have a guarantee program in place. After all, you'll be stuck with this color for three to five years on average. There are thousands of scenarios where knowing a company’s satisfaction guarantee policy is critical, so ask for the details before signing a contract.

Did you bring a portfolio of your work?

You wouldn’t commission a painting from an artist without seeing past works, just as you shouldn’t hire painters without a portfolio of previous jobs. It is never a good idea to put the exterior of your home into the hands of a business that doesn’t offer a look, with pride, at other completed jobs.

Do you have local references available for me today?

Any respected business will have a long list of business references. Asking this question at the first meeting is important because it puts the contractor on the spot. This will enable you to see the reaction -- is it confidence or fear? If your painter looks taken aback by the question, you might want to go elsewhere.

By the time you’ve finished the interview you’ll already know if this is the right company to tackle your exterior painting job. For the best in exterior painting, rely on Flores Drywall and Paint today.
