What To Look For When Searching For A Painting Contractor

You want professional painters that make you feel comfortable in your own home or business during the duration of the job. At Next Level Painting & Cabinet Refinishing LLC we pride ourselves on our Integrity, Appearance, Communication, and Cleanliness.

When searching for “Painters Near Me” Make sure your in good hands. Its especially important as a home or business owner to ensure that the contractor your working with is backed by General Liability Insurance. Working with a contractor that’s not insured could leave you stranded with a hefty bill if an accident arises.

Transparency is key! Many times over the years we hear how clients hired the painting contractor with the lowest quote. Unfortunately as the saying goes you get what you pay for. Now that may not always be the case however you want to make sure that when reviewing contractors bids it clearly states exactly what procedures/ services are being done, what products are being used, and how many coats of paints are being used. No one wants to be surprised with a final bill extremely higher than what was discussed. We take the time to make our Estimates/Proposals as clear as possible listing off the procedures we utilize in each step of the process, the products we use, and how many coats of paint you can expect. If there is ever any unforeseen situation that changes from the original approved Estimate/Proposal we discuss the best approach moving forward and get your approval so everyone’s on the same page so there’s no surprises when the final bill is due.
