Why It’s Important to Hire a Licensed, Insured Paint Company
Posted on February 8, 2021
When you decide to hire someone to paint your home, whether the job is interior or exterior, you’re likely to find no shortage of options.
Some of these potential painters might be friends, a recommendation from an acquaintance, or results you find online. As you review these options, you might be tempted to make a decision based solely on price – or simply choose someone you know that says they can get the job done.
But that’s a big mistake.
When selecting who will take on your project, there are big benefits to hiring a professional painting company that is both licensed and insured.
When you hire a licensed and insured painting company, you’re not just paying for the painting – you’re also investing in peace of mind.
To earn and maintain a license, painting companies must meet a certain standard of quality in their work, their staff, and the way they do business. In this way, the presence of licensure is a nod to the company’s overall professionalism and reliability. And if a company has an up to date license, they’ll be proud to share that information.
Licensing also means that you’ll have a contract in place – and that you have a path of recourse in case they don’t finish the job, do things wrong, or otherwise don’t hold up their end of the bargain. Your homeowner’s policy likely requires you to work with licensed contractors anyway!
Insurance provides another layer. A painting company’s insurance protects you from liability, covering any potential damage that may occur over the course of the work. Of course, no one wants there to be any damage, but if the worst case scenario happens, you’ll be protected from the expense. It also lets you know that the company cares about the wellbeing of their clients.
It’s pretty simple – there are licensed, insured contractors that maintain high standards and protect you from risk, and there’s everyone else. Which would you rather have working on your home?
