What to Look For When Hiring a Painting Service in Jacksonville
​Hiring a painting service in Jacksonville, Fl. is often difficult because of the many ‘what if’ scenarios that play out in your head. Sometimes, there seems to be no way to determine whether or not a particular Jax painting service should handle your painting project. Before you choose or settle for a painting company or contractor, there are a number of things you should consider and we would share these things in this article. Enjoy;

Ensure the Painting Service has Insurance
It sounds strange, I understand, but ensure that your contractor has insurance before doing business with them. Remember that the contractor is working at your house or property. While you may have insurance to cover accidents that happen on your property, it is important for the contractor to have adequate insurance as well.

​Never make the mistake to hire a painting service or contractor without making sure they have comprehensive business liability with a minimum of a million-dollar limit. This protects your property from damage by the contractor. Likewise, check that your contractor is also carrying workmen’s compensation or adequate exemption status. This protects you from having liability for any accidents. Don’t depend on your homeowner’s insurance. Request for proof of both insurances before agreeing to hire the contractor.

Make Sure the Contractor is Properly Licensed
Some painting companies carry licenses that are for only residential or only commercial properties. Others carry licenses that are for small jobs, but not big ones. Contact the painting service and make sure they carry the proper licensing for your property and the scope of your job. You can search for this online, and while you’re at it, check to see if the contractor has any unresolved complaints from their previous clients.
Make Sure to Get References from your Contractor
Before you hire a painting service or contractor, ensure to request for references. Once you get the references, talk to someone who recently had exterior painting done so you can get a good and current feel for how the painting service or contractor operates now. Also choose to talk to someone who had work done a while ago, so you can get a good feel for how well the contractor’s techniques hold up. This way, you get yourself a good idea of what to expect from the painting service your choosing.

Is there a Warranty or Guarantee on Offer for the Job?
Before you hire a painting service or contractor, ensure to find out what their warranty or guarantee policy is in order for you to ensure their competence. A painting contractor that thoroughly preps each job, uses quality paint, and doesn’t cut corners will stand behind their work. One- to three-year warranties are common among reputable painting service contractors. Make sure the warranty covers both labor and material in the case of a defect. Understand the exclusions, and make sure you get the warranty in writing.
Are the Employees Properly Trained?
Ensuring that the individuals that would come to your home to paint are professionally trained would save you more than just money. It is not uncommon to have poorly trained criminal-minded people in this line of work, especially for contractors that like to cut costs. If you want your home to be safe, ensure the employees of the contractor are properly trained with painting, stucco repairs and proper prep work.
