Tips for Hiring a Painting Contractors in Hawaii

What to look for…

Meet the pros. Have a meeting at the property to be painted. Talk to at least 3 different companies and see how long they stay and how thorough they are in looking everything over.

State your expectations. Make sure you know what the final look of the paint job will be. High end finishes take more prep time and more coats.

Get estimates. When you talk to at least 3 painting companies make sure to get an estimate so you know the cost of materials and labor time. Only by comparing painting contractors in Honolulu can you know if the price quoted is a good one.

Check references and examine past work. Make sure you look at before and after pictures of projects the Honolulu house painters have done. If they don’t have pictures that’s a big red flag.

Consider credentials. What training and what industrial groups do the painting contractors in Hawaii have and belong to? A dedicated painting company will spend time learning how to get better at what they do.

Obtain a complete contract. Make sure this contract includes all key information: the contractor’s name, address, office and cell phone numbers, and license number, plus whatever details were in the estimate. Make sure the contract clearly states what is and isn’t included in the job.

Get a copy of the painter’s liability and workers compensation insurance certificates. A great company has coverage, you would be on the hook if, for example, the crew drops a ladder on your neighbor’s car or a crew member gets hurt on the job.

Ask for a guarantee. Painting contractors in Hawaii should repair any chipping, peeling, blistering, flaking, or excessive fading or chalking that occurs within two years after the job is done at no or little cost. If Honolulu house painter tells you the paint itself has a warranty, remember that doesn’t include labor, which is a far more costly proposition than material.

Look for lead. If your home was built before 1978, older coats of paint could contain lead. That means the Painting contractor in Honolulu might need to take extra precautions to avoid any hazards.
