How To Choose A Contractor In Milwaukee

We at Humble Abode, LLC. understand that selecting a qualified painting contractor for your home, office, or building isn’t easy, here are a few of our suggestions to help you make the right choice.

Find out about the history of your painting contractor

• Your painting contractor should have a permanent and identifiable place of business, complete with a phone number, physical address, and appropriate business licenses.
• Your painting contractor should keep abreast of the latest developments in the industry. A professional contractor belongs to local, regional, or national associations and attends seminars on the problems and developments of the industry. Ask about this if the information is not provided to you. Specifically, ask which trade associations the contractor belongs to.
• A qualified contractor should be licensed by the city and have $2,000,000 in liability insurance. They should also show you proof of this when asked to do so.
• Qualified painting contractors should have references of past customers and not be afraid to share them with you. Use these references to see if the contractor completed the job satisfactorily.
• All painting contractors should have a written safety program that there crews adhere to. An emphasis on safety lowers the cost of doing business and further assures that your job will go smoothly.
  Most of all, your painting contractor should make you feel comfortable that the company has the experience and expertise to handle all of your remodeling needs.

Your painting contractor should provide you with a complete and detailed written proposal including: the work to be done, total costs, any warranties included, the time frame to complete the work and the terms of payment.
