Help With Finding Commercial Painting Contractors New Orleans

By Tammie Caldwell


After so much time, airborne particle cause changes to such things as wall paint and there is little else to do but apply a fresh coat of your choice. There is no need to upset your entire life for an undetermined amount of time if you take a few minutes to do a little research. Here are a few suggestions on choosing a commercial painting contractors New Orleans

A personal interview is the smartest expenditure of time you will ever spend. These are the moments you find out what personality the contractor has and if they conduct themselves in a professional manner. Ask them about their experience and how many years they apprenticed as well as how long they have been in business.

Find out how many other jobs they have lined up and when to set the completion date. As a good rule, the more jobs they have lined up, the better they are at what they do best. The good contractors are usually busy but do not let that deter you. Take note of how well they return your calls and show up on time for appointments.

Get into the details of the contract as soon as possible. Make it clear that you expect certain results. Have enough samples available for the contractor to have one, the work team to have one and keep one for yourself. If necessary, staple one to a copy of the floor plan, so everyone knows what colors go in each room. Also, stipulate what trim to included, and what walls to paint.

Samples are always a good idea. Visit a painting department at one of your local stores and find the color matches you like. A simple drawing of the floorplan of your home or business is a perfect place to jot down notes. List what if any trim gets painted and if that includes the walls or ceiling of that room. If necessary, attach color samples to the drawing just to make sure everyone knows what paint is for that room.

The last thing you want to happen is damage to your treasured furnishings. Include these concerns in the contract: what kind of drop cloth material the crew uses, moving the furniture, and where do the workers clean up their tools.

Household security is always a concern of homeowners. Stipulate in the contract that you get a list of the total number of people who work on this project, their names and a phone number to call if anyone shows up who is not on the list. It is your property, and you have the right to know who these people are, and why they did not show up as planned.

A new coat of paint just smells good and helps bring a sense of renewed existence while improving the spirits of both family and employees. If you treat the experience as a business matter, it helps keep the process less personal and, therefore, more professional. It is your money, your inconvenience, and your home or office so you should dictate how the details of the agreement and who is in your home.
