Factors To Consider When Selecting Contractors For Commercial Painting Toronto

By Jody Leach


A fresh coat of paint can entirely change how a building looks. For a commercial building, its appearance is of vast importance, since it can influence the decisions of potential clients. It is hence very important that you get everything right when adding a fresh coat of paint on your building. When searching for a suitable contractor specializing in commercial painting Toronto business owners should consider the following factors first.

Perhaps the first thing you will do is to find prospective painting companies. Ask building owners and managers who have recently painted their buildings to recommend service providers they used. Ask them why they think the company they are recommending will be suitable for your needs. However, if you fail to get credible referrals, consider searching for local companies in online databases.

Among the first things you need to check if the company is licensed in your state. Licensing means that a company has fulfilled certain requirements to provide the services in question. A valid licensing certificate can also help you to know the reputation of a specific company and if there are any unresolved complaints by past clients.

One of the first things to check is if that company or individual is registered and licensed to operate such a business in your state. Licensing is a statutory requirement and also serves as a proof that you are dealing with someone who is capable of providing services of your interest. Ask them to provide you with a copy of their valid licensing certificate as a commercial painting contractor and or registration.

Bonding and insurance covered services are also very important. Bonding means that there is money set aside to pay you almost immediately should there be a damage to property. Ensure the company you choose has suitable worker compensation and general liability insurance covers which are in line with the scope of your project.

Insurance and bonding are other critical elements when painting in a commercial environment. A suitable insurance cover will protect you and your home from any potential damages or injuries. Ask the prospective service provider to provide you with a copy of their general liability and worker compensation insurance policy certificates. Check if the cover provided is suitable for your needs.

The presence of many service providers in the market means that their cost of services vary. It is hence prudent to first compare rates of these companies before settling with one that in in line with your budget but more importantly provides excellent services. Ask them to provide detailed quotes, indicating every aspect of the project from preparation to finish. Similarly, the contractor should also provide a detailed scope of the work to be done, that exactly outlines what will be done on your project.

When selecting a painting contractor, make sure you make an informed choice. The type of service provider will determine the quality of work done and whether or not there will be need for a repeat job. Check factors such as cost of services, licensing, insurance and bonding, reputation in the industry and period of project completion.
