Hiring a Bradenton Painter

If you own your own home you probably enjoy doing some of the maintenance yourself, but if you don’t like heights or climbing ladders, painting can be a little intimidating. This could be one place where having a qualified painter do the job is a better idea than trying to tackle the project yourself. A Bradenton painter can safely and quickly complete the job for you.

The idea behind painting your home is to make it look better but if the work is shoddy or the paints and primers are of low quality, you won’t achieve the desired results. Anyone can claim to be a painter, but painting takes a certain amount of detailed skill so when you decide to hire someone for the job you need to become an informed consumer. Whether you’re looking for someone to paint a single room or the entire exterior of your home you want to make certain you’re hiring a qualified painter for the job.

Where to Locate a Professional Bradenton Painter

If you decide to have a professional Bradenton painter do the job there are several places you can start your search. Your local paint store or home improvement center is always a good place to check. Painters and other contractors will often post their business cards on the bulletin boards provided by these stores. Search the internet for a listing of Bradenton painters local to your area. Since getting listed in these directories can sometimes involve time and money, they are often only used by qualified professionals.

Maybe you have a friend or family member that is familiar with a painter. If they’ve had work done on their homes possibly they can show you first hand and tell you if they were happy with the completed project or if there were problems. If the Bradenton painter did a good job, it could be an excellent way to get a recommendation.

Talking with the Bradenton Painter

It’s not usually a good idea to hire a Bradenton painter simply because he offers you a low estimate. When asking for an estimate take some time to actually conduct interviews to help you find the right painter for the work you want done. Ask a few painters to visit your home and do an onsite walk through with you. Talk with each one about their knowledge and years of experience as a painter. Ask if they have done any work with other established local contractors. Being hired by other contractors is often a good sign that their work is up to standard.

Request proof of current state license and insurance policies from each Bradenton painter. Liability insurance is also a must for every Bradenton painter to protect you from any possible damage. You’ll also need to check that they carry workers compensation if they have any employees. If an employee gets hurt while working on your property, you don’t want to be held liable for any potential medical bills. Be sure any painter you want to hire is bonded. If he fails to fulfill the terms of the contract the bond will provide protection in helping you get your project completed.

Follow up on any references provided by the Bradenton painter but don’t rely on them as your only basis for hiring someone. Having references is always a good idea but remember that are any discontented customers out there, they won’t be on the list. Check with the local Better Business Bureau to see if there are any complaints on file. Ask what they were and if they were resolved. Complaints can happen to the best of businesses but how they are handled is what’s important.

It’s time to get some estimates once you have a few painters in mind. Since every Bradenton painter handles a job differently, from the brands of paint he prefers to the methods of cleanup he uses bids can get confusing. It’s even possible for the prep work to vary since one painter may take the time to scrape and sand the surface while another may use a power washer. Both of these techniques require varying time and effort and this will show in the bids you get. You need to give each Bradenton painter a list of everything you would like to see in their bid. Setting these guidelines will help in providing you with some uniform bids that you can then compare side by side.

The Bradenton Painter Contract

After you’ve located the Bradenton painter that you believe is the one you want for your project it’s time to talk about a contract. There are a number of things that should be included in a contract, including a summery of the job and how it will be accomplished. It’s also important to include the type of paint and the exact cost for materials and labor. It should also include all the painter’s contact information as well as his contractor’s license number. He should also attach copies of any necessary insurance policies. You’ll also want a date for completion of the job.

Check with the painter to see if he provides a guarantee if there should be any chipping, peeling or fading within a year or two. You should get it in writing and make sure it states that any necessary rework will not cost you. The paint itself will probably have a warranty but that doesn’t include the expense of having the work done all over again.

You need to hire a painter you feel you can trust. He may be working when you’re not around and it’s difficult to keep an eye on what he’s doing. Once the final coat is on you wont be able to determine if the surface was properly prepared or primed or how many coats of paint were actually applied. When you want to hire a qualified Bradenton painter, you should keep in mind that like any other contractor, he’ll be working in your home and you want to find the best person for the job.
