How to choose the right Toronto commercial painting contractor
Nearly all Toronto businesses and commercial properties require occasional interior or exterior painting. So selecting the right Toronto commercial painting contractor is critical to the efficient use of your commercial painting budget.
To help guide you in your evaluation process, ColourWorks Painting outlined a few key steps that can help you make the right decision.
- Establish your painting project goals – before contacting any commercial painting companies, define exactly what you’re hoping to accomplish. Having this information will refine which contractors may be best suited to for your painting project, make sure you’re consistently describing the project when interviewing different painting contractors and invites the collaborative expertise you need during the estimation process while weeding out those who can’t quite meet your objectives.
- Ask for a few commercial painting references –Prepare a few questions before contacting each reference to gather relevant information as to what’s important to you and your particular painting project.
- Leverage the internet – The most reputable painting contractors in Toronto have a strong internet presence supported by actual customer testimonials and reviews. Two of the most trusted contractor directories worth reviewing before you make your calls are HomeStars.com and the Better Business Bureau (BBB) at www.bbb.org/.
- Commercial insurance – Your business is your investment, so it’s critical to ensure that the commercial painting contractor you choose has the proper qualifications and protections for you and your property with sufficient commercial liability insurance and a clearance certificate from the WSIB.
- Carefully review the proposal – review your commercial painting contractor’s proposal thoroughly and ask questions where details appear to be ambiguous. It should read like they’re an open book and not hiding potentially critical details. Good commercial painting proposals will also include terms and conditions which protect both your parties with warranty information as well as details of what to expect in the case of extras and contingencies should they occur.
