Hire a Pro
Painting your home or commercial building should be a pleasant experience. The job should be professionally done to reflect your pride of ownership.
Here are a few tips to ensure your satisfaction with the job:
- Hire only a licensed professional.
In California, contractors must be licensed by the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) to work on any job over $500 (labor and materials). Go to the CSLB website or call 1-800-321-CSLB to verify that the person bidding on your project is licensed. PDCC members must have a valid License. - Use quality materials that are correctly specified for the job.
Most manufacturers have several different quality lines of paint. PDCC members are knowledgeable, and will work with the manufacturer to insure that the material used on your project will correctly match the job requirements. - Get the proper bid for the job.
Sometimes the lowest bid doesn’t always reflect the quality that’s needed to successfully finish the job to the specification. Through PDCC’s educational programs, members have the tools needed to assess the job, and bid it fairly, using the latest methods, and equipment to perform the job requirements at the best rate. - Performance
PDCC professionals are trained to properly prepare the surface, and properly apply the finish materials to insure your satisfaction with the job. There are many choices in materials and the methods to apply them. It takes training to know what to correctly use on each individual job. - Safety
Equipment and materials can be hazardous. PDCC professionals are trained to use the best in personal protective equipment, climbing equipment, and fall protection methods. - Insurance
You will need to verify that the contractor you choose is a professional who carries General Liability, Commercial Auto, and Worker’s Compensation so that you won’t be liable. PDCC members have access to the best insurance coverage at group rates. - Clean up and Disposal
PDCC members know how to handle hazardous wastes that may be part of the job. They’ll do it right, so you don’t have to worry.
PDCC Contractor Members and their Associate Paint Suppliers have the means to provide owners with quality products, safety trained and experienced workers, plus fast and fully insured painting services for an affordable price.
