Placeholder ImageWhat to Consider Before You Hire a Painting Contractor Before picking a painting contractor, consider these factors.

Paint is a more powerful factor around your house than you may realize. Depending on the paint job you get, the mood of your room completely changes. A proper paint job will bring years of enjoyment to your home, while a poor job will bring only frustration. It’s a job that should be taken very seriously, and you want the job to be done right the first time. For this reason, people often gravitate to licensed professionals for help. But how do you know which company to hire? Before picking a painting contractor, consider these factors.

Are They Insured?

Before you hire any painting contractor, you want to confirm that they have the proper insurance. Keep in mind that they will be working on your property. If they aren’t insured, you can be held accountable for any accidents that occur while they’re working. An insured contractor is a safer option because accidents will be covered by them instead. Make sure that the insurance they have is adequate.

Are They Licensed?

There are different types of licensing a painting contractor can get. Some are only for residential properties, while others are solely for commercial properties. Some licenses are for smaller jobs, but not larger ones. Be certain the company you hire has the right licensing for your project.

Does The Painting Contractor Have References?

You have the right to know a little about your painting contractor before your project begins. For this reason, any company worth your time will be happy to supply you with references. If they get uppity when you ask for references, this should serve as a red flag. A company that offers high-quality services will be more than happy to provide you with a list of references. Some companies may even offer references to you before you ask them.

Can You Get a Warranty or Guarantee From Them?

Any company worth hiring will be able to offer some kind of warranty or guarantee. For reputable companies, warranties between one and three years are commonplace. Make sure that the warranty covers the materials and the labor for the job. Also, make sure you understand everything excluded from the warranty, so there aren’t any unpleasant surprises later. Lastly, you should always get your warranty in writing. Be wary of any company that only makes verbal promises because they may try to go back on their word.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
