What to Look For in a Commercial Painter?

Employing someone to paint the interior or exterior of your business is not a decision you should take lightly. The general experience with the painting process and the finished goods are both dictated by whom you decide to employ. You may already have the list of characters that you want to see from the commercial painter. This is a good place to start! Knowing just what you are searching for can help you quickly remove out the commercial painters that do not meet your expectations. Below are a few more things you should add to your list as you begin the search for a qualified commercial painter:

Commercial Painting Referrals & Research

To hire a commercial painter, you should do the research. Search for the best painting companies in your town and ask for referrals from your friends and family members who have used commercial painters in the past. Specifically, you want to get their opinion of the quality of work that was provided, timeliness, and customer service. This will help you determine whether they would be able to provide the level of work that you require. If your family and friends did not like their work, figure out if that was just based on their preference or if the work was truly sub-par. If they rave about the great job done by that commercial painter, then they may be a good company to start with. You also want to inquire about the painter’s professionalism. Were they polite or unprofessional? Are they professional enough to handle all the painting tasks that you require? (This can also include their social media presence) Also, you want to take into account the type of jobs they did for your family and friends. You want to find a commercial painter near you that has done similar jobs to the one you are requesting. Getting a reference from someone you know about that particular style or job will only benefit you more and make your choice more obvious.

Training & Insurance

All commercial painting services should carry or possess certain documents, training, and insurances. Before you hire a painter for your commercial job, make sure that they have the required insurance that you need to hold them liable for damages, theft, and more. You do not want to have to bear those costs as well. Check into their liability coverage and make sure you know what they are and are not liable for. Also, you want to hire a commercial painter that has been properly trained. Having the proper safety training is of utmost importance. The best commercial painters will be able to provide you with the right kind of protection against any sort of damage or damage caused by the paint or their services. Also, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, has established standards for all commercial painting jobs. You want your commercial painter to be fully certified in the current OSHA standards and procedures. Any additional licenses and/or certifications that your painter may have should be provided to you prior to selecting a final choice. The more certified your commercial painter is, the better he or she can perform.

Contractor Experience

The more experienced your commercial painter is, the more likely they are to be able to provide you with an excellent service. You want to inquire about how many years they have been in the business, and how many years they specifically have under their belt with the tasks that you are requiring. Look for specific examples of their work that matches what painting you need done. You want to have an example to look at to gauge their expertise for yourself. The more experience they have, the better job your commercial painter will be able to do. They should also be able to show you how much time they have spent on each task. They should be able to tell you how long it took them to complete the job, and you can decide if this will be within your time frame required.

Pricing

While price should not be the sole factor in your ultimate decision, you want to inquire about their pricing and ensure it is in line with the work you expect to receive. The best way to find out is by asking questions and requesting an itemized quote. Contractors are going to be able to provide you with a list of prices that will help you determine whether you need to pay more or less. When you’re looking for a commercial painter, make sure that you have a clear understanding of what you’re paying for. You should also check out the price range of each painting company and compare it to other companies.

Lastly, you want to make sure that what they will agree to in your contract is agreeable for all parties involved. You want to make sure that the services that you are requesting are clear and concise, the cost is within your budget and clearly explained, and whether they have a warranty on their work. All of these points will help you choose the most experienced, cost-effective, and most talented commercial painter in your area!
