- Is the contractor properly insured? If the contractor is not properly insured, you face the risk of having to insure a potential accident.
- When you called the contractor, did you get a company representative? A personal response to your call assures you prompt attention to your needs now and in the future; an answering machine or message service cannot always produce the same results.
- Were references offered? References will help you determine the contractor’s ability to perform.
- Did you receive a written estimate? The scope of work should be clearly defined including areas to be finished, type of material, number of coats, and special surface preparation.
- Is the job to be paid for only after substantial completion? When a contractor requests significant payment before work is finished, it is usually a sign of insufficient credit or under capitalization. Either or both could lead to problems.
- Are quality paints and supplies going to be used? The use of quality paint products from well established companies can be just as important as quality craftspeople performing quality work.
- Does the contractor offer a warranty on material and workmanship? When a contractor offers a warranty, you know that they believe in their work and will be around to back it up over time
