Hiring a Painting Contractor in Orange County California
So you’re thinking about painting your home or office. You live or work in Orange County and you have a million options to choose a painting company that will offer the best price. Isn’t that the smart thing to do? Of course, find the cheapest Korean contractor to beat everyone’s price. After all, it’s just our home, the place we call our sanctuary. Let’s just hire the cheapest guy we can find.
The philosophy makes sense. “Hire the cheapest painting contractor that you can.” , Home Depot always has those mexicans standing there in line, waiting for a job, “Let’s hire one of those guys” . For $100 bucks a day, you can get someone to paint your house or office. If you buy the materials, which include, masking paper, masking tape, masking gun, plastic sheeting, paint thinner, rollers, brush, professional spray gun with compressor , cleaning brushes, sand paper, wall texture, primer, paint, protective mask, a pair of white dickies, a short sleeve white collared shirt, large trash bags, screwdriver, phillips screw driver and a ladder.
Of course we can all be driven to find the lowest price for painters, just like we seek the lowest price on everything else. There is one rule of thumb to live by when remodeling or painting a property in Orange COunty Ca.
First thing to look for is a professional website.
If the painting company cant even afford a decent website, they probably cant afford to buy the materials to paint your interior or exterior project.
Referral- Find out if the company is reputable. Are they licensed to paint in your city in Orange County?
If your painting contractor is not licensed and insured, you may be putting yourself in a senior financial risk. I wont go into the numerous details about the bad things that can happen when hiring an unlicensed painting contractor. Of course, if the price was cheap enough, I may consider hiring the handyman from down the street. But I always try to remind myself- “You Get what you pay for”. This philosophy applies to painting companies and all other home improvement companies throughout Orange County and the world.
Itemized Painting Bid- Ask your contractor to offer an itemized bid for the services and materials.
This allows you to compare what each contractor is charging you for. If they don’t list to paint your doors, they probably wont paint them.
Service- Does the company offer a gurantee or warranty? Is there a customer service person that you can speak with if you are dissatisfied?
This is crucial. If your painting company offers great pricing but cant back it up with Workers Compensation Insurance, California State Contractors License, Liability Insurance, Physical office address, Legal Corporation, then you may want to reconsider what your home or office is worth when it comes to beautifying your living space or working space in Orange County California.
