Could Your Denver Painting Contractor Get You Sued?

Are you looking for a Professional Denver Painting Company to paint your home?

While times are "tight" with our economy, you want to make sure that every dollar counts! You choose to seek out the "cheapest" contractor that you can find!


On the surface everything looks great! They have a LOT of years of experience, give you a great sales pitch and even a really low bid! But wait a minute...there is something missing -INSURANCE?


As you voice your concern your new Denver Painting
Contractor tells you that he/she has been painting in Denver for over 20 years, and nothing has happened and nothing will happen, because they are "extremely careful."

You decide to take their word for it, and hire them anyways!


The next thing you know - One of the Painters falls off a ladder while trying to paint your ceiling....breaking his leg, a rib and fracturing his wrist!


Now - The Painting Contractor does not know what to do...This has never happened, and He does not carry Workman's comp Insurance!


So guess who get's stuck with the bill....YOU!!!

Is Your Denver Painting Company Going To Rip You Off?

Denver CO - I hate to be the one to bring this up - But when the economy turns - The reports on Contractor related scams seem to rise. It's really sad to hear that unsuspecting homeowners hand over their hard earned cash, trusting a Denver Painting Company to provide a quality paint job that lasts for years and years!

Unfortunately - most companies are very quick to lure you in with a "free estimate". And what does that mean anyway? Are Denver Painting Companies that arrogant that... they actually believe you should pay for a Denver Painting Contractor to come out and tell you how much he or she is going to charge you??

Let's be serious - Free estimate means - An invitation to come out and give you a sales presentation.

Now - To help you from being victimized by Greedy Denver Painting Companies.

A Few Tips To Avoid Being Ripped Off By Your Denver Painting Contractor

First and Foremost - Always...Ask questions - find out how long they have been painting in the Denver area, if you are uncertain, ask to see references and or endorsements.

Next - really quiz them about how many active jobs are being done right now - jobs that could delay the completion of your job. Most Denver Painting Companies will not come out and tell you that they are overloaded with work and will have to pull painters off your job to finish another one.

Find out what type of paint they use and if you have a choice in selecting the paint! Remember - that a Professional Denver Painting company that does any type of volume will get a "contractor discount" on quality paint.

Ask to see the samples on your wall - not just on paper. You may even want to take a day to see how that color looks in different lighting. Doing this has changed the mind of several homeowners in the Denver area because the color looked much, much different in different shades of sunlight.

Not all Denver Painting Contractors are out to rip you off - but you don't want to be that person that pays money for a job and you get left empty handed.

One more point is that the Denver Painting Contractors that are licensed - Insured and carry workman's comp have a lot more to lose than the "guy-and-a-truck" operation.

Make sure to see you Denver Painting Companies Proof of Insurance before hiring them.
