Ensure Quality with a Professional  Contractor...
there are advantages for having it done right.

Preparation: Proper surface preparation makes all the difference. More often then not, preparation requires more time then the actual application of the finish material, but adds quality and value to the end result.

The choices today for finding the right material are far more involved than just picking a Product.  Weather, moisture, compatible finish and primers, zero to low VOC's, list  a few examples of the issues to be considered to achieve a lasting finish and true value.

Safety: Application of specialized coatings can be hazardous work, such as working on a ladder, scaffolding or operating a boom. Hiring a licensed professional means you don’t have to worry about these risk liabilities . 

Health: If the proposed project was built before 1978, it may have been painted with lead-based paint, which can cause serious health effects when it is scraped or sanded in preparation for repainting. Professional contractors will take appropriate steps to protect you.

Cleanup and Disposal: Hiring a professional means you don’t have to worry about dealing with product residues and leftovers.

Always verify the contractor is licensed and insured: Quality contracting firms are only too happy to provide you with a Contractor License Number and copies of their certificates of insurance.

Contracts: Professional Contractors  encourage the use of a written contract. The contract should clearly outline the scope of the work to be performed. It could cover such items as:

·         Surfaces to be coated, methods and extent of surface preparation

·         Time schedules for the project

·         Payment procedures.

Knowing the total scope of the work enables you to carefully evaluate bids and serves to protect both you and the contractor.
