Unless you are highly experienced at painting homes or commercial properties, the best way to get the results you want is to hire one of the top local painting companies. According to IBISWorld, the United States has 180,387 contractors offering painting services. With so many contractors across the nation, you should have several from which to choose in your general area. Here are some tips to help you find the best painting contractor.

Get Referrals From Friends and Family

You might know one or more people you trust who have had painting work done recently. You should ask your friends, family, and coworkers if they could recommend a good contractor for the work that you have in mind. If you visit someone's home or place of business that has recently been painted, you might like the quality of the work. You could ask who did the work and if you could get the painting contractor's contact information. Word of mouth remains one of the best ways to find excellent service providers.

Check Online Reviews and Testimonials

Another good way to get recommendations for good painting contractors is to check online listings and review sites. The company's website itself and Google are two great examples of where you can find online reviews of local painting contractors. Any painting company that has a website listed on Google should have reviews from prior clients. The contractors with mostly good reviews that speak to the general quality, value, and manner in which the work was done can help you narrow your search for a good contractor.

Seek Established Local Painting Companies

The best local painting companies should have many years of experience providing painting services for your local community. Painters who have been in business for many years generally have lots of experience and are more likely to do great work than newly established painting contractors. A new outfit can do great work, but unless you have some recommendations from trusted sources, it is usually better to stick with an established company than it is to take a chance on a new one.
