How To Compare
New Jersey Painter Quotes

New Jersey painter quotes vary a lot for a reason - they all contain different specifics and represent different levels of craftsmanship and service.

That's why, when it comes to house painting in New Jersey, it's important to compare apples to apples, and here's how:

(Note: Before you even start comparing NJ painting quotes, make sure all the candidates are registered, licensed and insured for your protection and peace of mind.)

3 Steps to Compare NJ Painting Bids:

1. Put all the written NJ painting proposals in front of you and study each one carefully. The proposal should contain everything that has been discussed, promised or expressed verbally.

- What surface preparation is included in your NJ painting bid?
(scraping, sanding, caulking, spackling, retaping, repairs, hole filling, priming, power washing, etc.)

- How many coats of paint will be applied?
(the number of coats must be specified clearly)

- What products will be used for your New Jersey house painting project?

- Is a guarantee included?
(for how many years; for labor only, or for materials as well?)

- What are the start and finish dates for your NJ painting project?
(do they work for you?)

2. Now in the perfect world, the above step would be enough to help you choose between several New Jersey painting quotes, but unfortunately in the real world people lie, bend contracts and break their promises sometimes, and that's where those references come in handy - call them up and verify how the contractor really delivers. If possible, go see some of the contractor's finished work in person.

3. Finally, take into account your own impression of each NJ painting contractor you are considering. You've already had a glimpse of them in action when they came to give you an estimate - are they punctual, polite, friendly? Do your personalities mix? Will you be comfortable with them working in your house?

Once you've gone through all these steps, you should have enough information to help you choose the best New Jersey painting professional for the job.
