Why Should You Hire A Licensed Painting Contractor?

If you’re considering having your exterior or interior painted, you are likely checking into costs, and looking for ways that your family can save money on what is usually a big undertaking. 

One way of doing that is to hire an unlicensed painting contractor to do the work. At Basurto Painting, we advise against this for the obvious reason– we’re licensed and the kind of professionals that will work hard for you– but also because we know from experience that licensed contracting is there to protect YOU, the homeowner.

Hiring an unlicensed contractor is a shortcut that bets against Murphy’s Law (“If anything can go wrong, it will go wrong”). For that to work, every single thing has to be perfect– and you’re hiring someone not licensed to be perfect.

Here are our top reasons to hire a Licensed contractor:

• Licensed contractors have taken no shortcuts. Because they have taken all the proper training and legal steps to be licensed, you already know that they are not the kind of workers who will take shortcuts on the work. They will follow through on their agreed course of action.
• They’re insured. An unlicensed contractor is not going to have insurance that protects you, your home, and your family from injuries resulting from their work. A licensed contractor– such as the team at Basurto Painting– will have.
• They go by the book. Licensed contractors follow their city and federal requirements to the letter, and because they do, they tend to work systematically, not sporadically, and on a very set schedule that you can depend on. Unlicensed contractors will do the work in whatever way is expedient, to get to the next paying client.
• They don’t quit. Licensed contractors protect their license and their reputation by following through on the work. They do not stop work to insist on a pay rate to cover additional days needed. Licensed contractors honor their contract and do not hold up the work in dispute.
