Why Working with a Licensed and Insured Residential Painter is Key

When you hire a residential interior painting crew, you likely want to get the best contractor for the job, right? Well, one of the things that set the best painting teams apart from the rest is that they’re licensed to do such work and have insurance coverage.

As one of today’s leading commercial and residential painting teams, C.E.T. Painting has helped many homeowners revitalize their homes. Here we wanted to share some of our experience as to why being licensed and insured is essential!

Get the Best Return on Investment

Working with a licensed and insured painting team will help make certain you get more for what you’re paying for in the long run. Although an unlicensed painter might offer a low price point at the outset, there’s likely a chance that down the road you’ll need to pay for repairs. Additionally, if there’s ever an accident in your home and the painter isn’t licensed or properly insured, guess who’s held liable? You!

Guaranteed Safety 

Hiring a licensed/insured professional guarantees that painting crews will follow the best safety practices while on the job. You’ll also be covered if the contractor accidentally damages part of your home, like windows or gutters, during the work. Additionally, you’ll have legal recourse if you don’t feel happy with the end results.  If a worker gets injured on your premises, it will trigger workers compensation insurance before property liability insurance. A painting job should not pose a risk to a homeowner with the proper insurance and licensing.

Always Ask for Proof of Licensing & Insurance Upfront

It’s common for homeowners to ask for these things before beginning a job, so don’t feel any qualms about doing so. If the painting contractor you’ve chosen seems reluctant to provide you this information, that’s a major red flag.
