Checklist

  • Did you receive a written estimate?

    The scope of work should be clearly defined including areas to be finished, type of material, number of coats, and special surface preparation.


  • Is the contractor properly insured?

    If the contractor is not adequately insured, you may face the risk of having to insure a potential accident at best, or at worst, you could be facing a lawsuit. This does not mean general liability alone – you should also see proof of Worker’s Compensation Insurance. Our insurance certificate is available upon request.


  • Has the company been in business 5 or more years?

    Statistics indicate that most contracting failures occur with the first five years of operation. RJ's painting has been in business for over 48 years.


  • Is the job to be paid for only after substantial completion?

    When a contractor requests partial payment before work begins, it is usually a sign of insufficient credit or undercapitalization. Either or both could lead to problems. We offer terms of net 30 days.


  • Is the contractor licensed?

    RJ’s Painting is licensed and insured
