The following information is provided to assist property owners and homeowner’s in choosing a painting contractor. This is not an exhaustive list and all of the questions may not apply to your situation.

We will be happy to provide you with a complete copy of our consumer guide and step-by-step process prior to our first meeting.

Here are 3 areas we recommend you consider in evaluation every painting contractor you talk to:

For each area simply ask the questions and ask the painting contractor to provide the evidence to support their answers.

Reputation and Business Stability of the Painting Company

• Are you registered with the State of New Jersey as a Home Improvement Contractor and will you provide us with your registration number?
• Are you certified in Lead Safe Work Practices as required by Federal Law as of April 22, 2010 and will you provide the appropriate proof?
• Will you supply a copy of your current insurance certificate?
• Will you provide a copy of your business registration for your current company?
  (This is proof of how long they have been in business under this name.)
• Can you provide me with a reference list with at least 20 recent customers?
• Are you a member of the professional association(s) for your trade(s)?

Experience and Methodology

• Will you provide a detailed breakdown of the service you are providing?
• Will you provide a bio of the supervisor who will be on our project?
• Do you have a written policy regarding drugs and alcohol by your crews?
• How much of a deposit do you require?

Service Before, During and After the Project

• Will you provide me your warranty in writing?
• Have you ever repainted or repaired a project that was out of warranty?
• What is your company phone policy?
• How often do you meet with homeowner to review job progress?
• Do you provide a price guarantee?

We hope these questions give you the information you need to make the best choice when it comes to hiring, evaluating and working with a New Jersey professional painting contractor to paint your home or install new wallpaper or wall coverings.

We will be happy to provide you with a complete copy of our consumer guide prior to our first meeting. We live by our guide.
