San Diego painting is an integral part of the construction and real estate industry and facility managers and homeowners cannot just take it for granted. The greatest problem is that there are many unscrupulous people who are masquerading as professional San Diego painting contractors who end up ripping unsuspecting building and homeowners off their hard earned cash. If you are a homeowner or a facility manager, there simple things you may want to ask of any painters San Diego and demand to get the right answers before you can hire them. These questions will be an important part of your interview:
Legal business documents: You want to ask your potential Point Loma painter to show you their business papers and any other relevant legal documents the include licenses and insurance certificates; this should actually be part of their portfolio. You must ask to see all these documents so you can prove that they are authentic contractors doing legal business.
References: Any legitimate painters San Diego will not have a problem giving you a list of references to any previous works they have completed. Most professional painting contractors will actually include referrals from their previous clients and especially if there are projects they completed successfully. San Diego painters are usually proud of client referrals and testimonies because they know that the bigger the project or client they have worked for in the past, the greater the chances of impressing new clients. When you obtain a list of references from your prospective Point Loma painter, the next thing you should do is to contact a few of those clients and get first-hand information about their experience with the contractor.
Work plan: All San Diego painting contractors are obliged to show their prospective clients clear job details as an essential of the hiring process; this plan should contain clear details on activities, different tasks and important timelines. The kind of proposal they provide you with should be able to tell anyone whether or not you can trust them with or they are simply promising heaven so they can get hired.
Price justification: Any experienced San Diego painters will not give a price estimate that is too low or too high; you should expect a fair, actual and justifiable estimate of the project costs. Many contractors who quote too high may just be trying to rip you off or they may just be amateurs who are totally naïve on the subject of pricing. The only way you can tell whether the prices quoted are too high or too low is by making comparisons with other contractors and striking off whatever looks questionable.
Warranty: Last but not least, your potential San Diego painting contractor should be able to provide a written warranty on their work. This is necessary in order to assure you that they will be available to remedy or replace any faults that may occur after the completion of the project. You must ensure that the warranty period and scope of post-project works are spelled out clearly in the warranty.
