When you live in a house that was built in 1929, you make a major investment in paint, materials and, of course, painting contractors. Likewise, many homeowners in Northern Virginia spend big bucks to maintain pre- and post-war houses so selecting the right painting contractor can be a critical decision point in the overall process.
Not all painting contractors are alike. Check with friends and neighbors for references. There’s no end to the number of horror stories about painters who skip out, particularly those from out of state, when the first installment is paid on a job that should extend several more days or weeks. You’ll also want to get several bids before choosing your contractor. Ideally, you want a firm that offers free, written estimates and has evening or weekend hours available to discuss the job. The firm you choose should represent the best fit and value for you and your family.
