Painters Near Somers

January 20, 2016 | By: admin

Are you looking for painters near Somers? Gallo Painting does a lot of residential painting estimates throughout the year, and it is not uncommon for us to come across people who have never worked with any type of painting contractor and, therefore, have no idea what to look for in a Somers painter. We have created a contractor comparison checklist so that potential customers can easily compare each of the estimates they receive. This 13 items checklist can be a very helpful tool for a homeowner to make their decision about hiring a Somers painter, by easily comparing the companies on an equal field.

The questions are simple and easy to answer;

HIRING A SOMERS PAINTER CHECKLIST:

1.) Does the contractor have a valid license?
2.) Does the contractor give a quality guarantee and written warranty?
3.) Does the contractor carry Liability & Workers Comp insurance?
4.) How long has the company been in business?
5.) Will the contractor give you a list of references with phone numbers in your area?
6.) Is the contractor a member in good standing of the Better Business Bureau?
7.) Are the Somers painters who will be in your home company employees or subcontractors?
8.) In the contractor’s proposal clear with detailed pricing for each area of the job?
9.) Did the contractor discuss the time required for your job?
10.) Did the contractor specify the type of paint to be used?
11.) Did the contractor specify the type of surface preparation to be done?
12.) Did the contractor appear professional, knowledgeable, clean, and neat?
13.) Did any of the references indicate difficulty getting the company to fix problems?

It is so important to make sure that, when it comes to selecting Somers painters, you are comparing apples to apples when deciding on the contractor you will use. In the painting world, estimates can be very vague, and lack a lot of details that are important. It is critical to have a comprehensive, well written estimate, as that job description is what the contractor legally needs to provide. It doesn’t matter if the contractor verbally tells you something if they don’t put it in writing. Make sure that you require the contractor to put everything they tell you they will do in writing.

A few other things to think about; are they on time for the estimate, or do they call to let you know they are going to be late? Were they easy to reach and set up the estimate? How long did it take to get the estimate? These few things are all excellent indicators of how they will be to work with during the job. Make sure you feel comfortable with the company you hire- it’s not just about price. The details do matter.

Whether you want to hire a professional painting contractor to paint the full exterior of your home or you need a new painting job for your kitchen, painting touch up in your bathroom or bedroom or need the whole interior of your home painted by  professional Somers painters and painting contractor, the painting contractor professionals at Gallo Paint is your one contact to make.

We are very pleased with the results! Professional and punctual. Finished ahead of estimate too! Planning to hire again in the fall.

Al and his team were originally supposed to come in just to paint our apartment. We did not have a good experience with our original contractor and Al and his team came in and cleaned up the mess that our nightmare of a contractor left us with. Al's team was trustworthy, quick, clean, affordable and did a fantastic job with our project. We would recommend Al and his company to anyone! Thanks for saving the day!

The painters did an excellent job on both the interior and exterior of my house. In addition to patching and sanding the walls, they also gave my home a flawless color update. I would definitely recommend.

We recently had our basement renovated and hired Gallo Painting to do the entire space. The job was neat and professional and the price for all of the work done was fair. Al is a great problem solver who fabricated some small doors to cover an upgraded electrical panel. I was searching for similar doors online and they were several hundred dollars. His work is perfect and was much less. I can't wait to have them come back and do my upstairs!

We have been using Gallo Paint and Wallpapering Company for the past 10 years! We recently moved into a new house and Al Gallo and his painters were still the best. They are master painters, as well as punctual, clean, neat, and very reliable. The crews work well together and are friendly and competent. I would highly recommend them for any work you need done!
