Great Painting Contractors:
New Jersey Consumer Guide
It can be overwhelming choosing between painting contractors: New Jersey doesn't have a lack of painting help.
But not all painters are created equal.
Unfortunately, because of the nature of the house painting industry, almost anyone can call himself a professional home painter.
In fact, that is the main reason why New Jersey house painters have such a bad reputation among homeowners, and no wonder.
After all, what good can be expected from a guy who has no trade
training or experience, no proper tools or equipment, no knowledge of
products and materials, no capital to complete the project right and on
time, and pretty often, no integrity?
Incompetent New Jersey painting contractors harm everyone. They
produce sub-par work and waste your time and money.
Some may not even finish the work at all and just disappear with your down payment.
And since most of them are uninsured, things can turn pretty ugly if your property gets damaged or one of the workers falls from a ladder and gets injured.
But the good news is that both good and bad NJ painting contractors leave clues. And those clues are so obvious, that once you start looking for them, you'll be able to tell if a contractor is worth your time (and money) right away.
Because frankly, there are only 2 reasons why homeowners get hurt by bad contractors:
- when a homeowner doesn't know what to look for in a painting contractor
(that can be easily fixed - see the articles below) - when a homeowner doesn't care about anything but price
(this one is usually hopeless)
So if you are tired of wasting your time and money, if you are willing to learn from your bad experience,
and if you are ready to find a NJ painting contractor who will actually
make your life easier instead of creating more problems, you are in the
right place.
The helpful guides below will show you how to finally find and hire a contractor you'll be happy with.
