The right contractor delivers a beautiful, lasting result. The wrong one can leave you with peeling paint and a headache. Here's how to tell the difference before you sign.
Must-haves
- Insurance & references: always ask for proof. It protects you if something goes wrong.
- Written, detailed estimate: it should list prep, products, number of coats, and timeline.
- Real reviews: check Google, Angi, and references from local jobs.
- Clear communication: a pro who explains the process is a pro who does it right.
Red flags
- Quotes given over the phone without seeing the home
- Large deposits demanded up front
- No written contract or insurance
- Prices that seem too good to be true (they usually are)
Ask about prep
Prep is where quality lives. A contractor who talks about pressure washing, patching, priming, and premium materials is the one to hire.
