Painters who will give you a quote over the phone or via email without meeting you or visiting your property should be avoided. This is very unprofessional.
We do not give estimates over the phone. There are too many variables to simply give an accurate quote. We will meet you in person, ask you specific questions to gain a full understanding of your painting and wall covering needs and then provide you with a written detailed estimate including our detailed preparation and painting procedure for a typical home.
We provide each homeowner we meet with our written processes and this allows them to easily understand the cost of painting or installing new wallpaper or wall coverings for their home and to compare our proposal with another proposal.
Yes. Getting the Certificate of Insurance directly from the contractor’s insurance agent will provide you with assurance that the coverage is current. In addition to registering with the New Jersey – painting contractors are required to adhere to the following guidelines:
If a painting contractor is unable to produce the appropriate insurance documents, do not hire them as you may be responsible for any injuries or other accidents that occur.
Yes. Quality painting contractors have multiple references from past clients. We believe that a painting contractor should provide you with a list of at least 20 references – this prevents the contractor from giving you 3 or 4 “references” that are actually not real customers but friends or associates. We provide a list of more than 100 references you can call. If a contractor is unable or unwilling to provide at least 25 references that should be a warning sign.
