3 Important Questions To Ask Your Denver Painting Contractor

Are you searching for a Professional, Neat, Clean, Affordable Denver Painting Contractor?

In this economy it's extremely easy to get ripped off by a "slick talking" Denver Painting Contractor with a good story! Although most Painters in the
Denver area are good - you must pay close attention to who you hire and make sure you know going in what to expect and what your exposure is.

Below is a guide you can use to ask your Denver Painting Contractor - (These questions will ensure that you are dealing with a Professional
and your chances of getting ripped off will be greatly reduced!

Question #1 - "What type of Insurance Do You Carry?" This is important - most Painting Companies around Denver and Boulder do not want to pay for Insurance. Some only carry "Liability Insurance" - which protects your home everything in it, if a Painter spills paint on an expensive couch or appliance. For example - One of my painters spilled paint on a $1200 couch. Instead of involving Insurance I simply wrote a check to cover it - but my insurance would have covered it). This Type of Insurance is Important but not as Important as WORKMAN'S COMP INSURANCE - I would say a great majority of Boulder and Denver Painting Companies do NOT carry Workman's Comp Insurance - This is important to you because if a Painter is injured while on your property then YOU are liable...and could end up in a painfully expensive litigation process....

How To Avoid This - Ask to see current copies of ALL Insurance - Workman's comp - Liability...etc!! If you don't ask they probably won't show!

Question #2 - "How much can my price change between estimate and completion of my Painting Job?" - This is important! You have to be careful for Denver Painting Companies that give you a very low estimate so that they "win" your job with the lowest bid. Then half way through the job after you have already paid your deposit or maybe the FULL payment - you are pretty much forced to pay more money - Again - with this economy there are desperate people trying to take short cuts.

How to Avoid This: Ask for a detailed price breakdown in writing and ask WHAT can change? Typically the price can change if you add more areas to be painted and that is expected. However - if a Denver Painting Contractor adjusts your bill up, because they did a poor job with the estimate - you should NOT have to pay! (This is why Five Star Does Not Charge Any Money Until After The Job Is Done And You Are 100% HAPPY).

Question #3 - "When will my home be complete?" This one is tricky - You see a lot of Painting companies around Boulder and Denver have multiple projects going or they have
Painters that only work once and a while. This can cause a HUGE delay and can drag a 2 week project on for MONTHS...Nobody likes strangers coming in and out of their house, especially if your project is an Interior Painting project!

How to avoid this: Get a firm date on your Completion date - Ask the question: " Do you have dedicated Painters, or do they jump from job to job?" This way you will put the Denver Painting Company on the hook...
