Fitzpatrick Painting & Construction • Sep 21, 2018

Whether you’re ready to repaint your walls in this season’s trendiest colors or you’re simply upgrading your walls to get your home ready to sell , we know that you want to work with only the best.

Woodburn, OR has been a fast-growing area, and a fresh coat of paint can improve your home’s value significantly. When you’re looking for a professional and experienced Woodburn painting company, there are a few details that you need to make sure to take into consideration.

Keep reading to learn what people looking for painters shouldn’t compromise on.

1. Excellent References

When you’re looking for painting professionals, one of the first things you should ask for is to speak with a few of their references.

This way, you’ll be able to know if the job was completed on time, if the price quoted was the price paid, and how the overall quality of the work held up over time.

If your Woodburn painting company doesn’t want to give you any references — and if their online reviews aren’t exactly stellar?

Consider looking elsewhere.

2. Past Experience with Your Requested Service

When you’re looking for a house painter, you want to ensure that they actually provide the services that you need.

Remember that the exterior of a commercial building and the interior of a historic home will have vastly different needs.

Make sure the painting company can address these needs, and that they have worked with your type of residence before.

3. Insurance and Licensing

We’ve all heard horror stories of unlicensed and uninsured contractors victimize and take advantage of innocent homeowners.

You don’t want to end up responsible for paying the medical bills if a painter gets injured on the job. Of course, you also don’t want anyone who isn’t a qualified and licensed professional working on your home.

Always insist on seeing a copy of licensing and insurance policies before you sign any sort of a contract with a potential painting company.

4. A Free Estimate

If you want to find the painting contractor that’s right for you, always look for companies that offer a free estimate.

Not only will this tell you that the company is successful enough not to need to charge for estimates.

It will also help you to determine whether or not the team you’re interested in working with is truly able to bring your vision to life.

Your estimate should include the cost of materials, labor, and the size of your space in general.
