Professional Painters: Why You Should Hire Them
When it comes to painting your home, many people ask, “What are the advantages of hiring professional painters to paint my home?” In this post, we will outline the many advantages of hiring professional painters to complete your interior or exterior painting projects, including how to keep yourself protected as a home owner. All of this begins with a painting contract.
Contracts: Warranties, Insurance & WSIB
Contracts – a scary word for some people, but really, this is where you are able to protect yourself as a home owner. When choosing professional painter, you should be looking to make sure that warranties, insurances, WSIB coverage, and specific details related to your project are clearly outlined in your contract or services agreement.
Warranties are a good place to start. When hiring professional painters, you should inquire about their warranties, what they include and exclude, and how long they last. Here at The Painting Hub Inc., we offer an industry leading three (3) year paint and labour warranty. After all, you want to make sure that your painting investment can be enjoyed for years to come.
Professional painters will also have insurances and WSIB. This protects you in the event a painter gets injured on site, or something gets damaged on your property. Check to see how much insurance coverage your painting contractor has and make sure it is listed on your services agreement. The Painting Hub Inc. has 5-million-dollar insurance coverage and WSIB to ensure you are protected. This is important for all projects, especially on exterior jobs where tall ladders, scaffolding, or lift equipment may be required.
Ladders are used on the daily by professional painters, and depending on the project scope, equipment like scaffolding and elevating platforms (scissor lifts, booms, etc.) may be used. Your painting contractor, by law, should have Working at Heights (WAH) for all their painters. All professional painters at The Painting Hub Inc. have WAH training so you can be rest assured that the safest working practices are being implemented while painting your home.
Aside from the contractual side of things, professional painters offer many other advantages, such as helping to select the proper paints & primers for your project, meeting project deadlines, and investing in the best equipment & practices possible to deliver you an outstanding finished product.
