How to choose the right commercial painter in Louisiana

“Not only are bloggers suckers for the remarkablIntroduction:

If you have a commercial property or space at some point a little sprucing up may be needed and choosing commercial painters in Louisiana can be a difficult decision, but there are some key factors you can consider to help with your choice and increase your chances of finding not only a qualified commercial painter but also ensuring the project is completed to your satisfaction.

With that said, here are 7 Factors to consider that will help you find the commercial painter that's right for you! 👊

1. Check licensing

Ensure that any contractor you deal with is licensed with the state of Louisiana and has the proper insurance required to protect you as the consumer.

A licensing certificate should be issued by the state of Louisiana and should contain the name of the commercial painting business you’re considering.

2. Check their certificate of insurance

The insurance should state "Certificate of Liability Insurance" and include the policy's effective date, expiration date, the name of the business you are considering, and the contact information for the insurance company issuing the policy. It’s always a good idea to contact the issuing company to confirm the policy is active. If the contractor drops the policy and someone is injured on your project, your business could be liable for damages, medical bills, and more.

It’s a quick and easy call that a reputable commercial painter will happily agree to, and the insurance company will be happy to assist you with.

3. Check online reviews

The first two are the most important items to check, but finding out what people are saying about the business is important too. Just because a contractor is licensed and insured does not guarantee a project that meets your standards.

It’s easy to run a quick check of online reviews and gather a lot of information on any commercial painter in Louisiana. However, if reviews are lacking or you just aren’t sure, ask the contractor if you can contact some of their past clients to inquire about their satisfaction with the paint job.

4. Is this someone you like?

It’s also important to ensure you are compatible with the painting contractor. You will need to communicate and interact with them daily, so liking the person is quite important.

5. Does the contractor have a process?

If the painting contractor meets all the criteria listed above, ask them about their process and what you should expect when they are working on your property.

How will they protect items that aren’t being painted? Will they prepare surfaces before painting? How often will they communicate with you about progress and any unforeseen issues during the project?

6. Do they offer a contract?

Do they quote the project as a lump sum, or do they work hourly? Is there a contract stating the specifics, price, and expected timeframe for project completion? Are materials included, or do they expect you to pay for them?

It is also very important to know how they handle problems that may increase costs during the project. They should offer a change order, which becomes part of the contract, so you’re never surprised by a project that exceeds the originally expected amount.

7. What's their experience?

Have they completed similar projects? Not all painting projects are the same. If they have not completed a similar project, it’s even more important to ask about their process and how they intend to complete your commercial paint project.
