One of the most important qualifications to look for when hiring a Painting contractor is experience. P & H Painting Company has been a licensed Painting Contractor since June of 1987. We have never had any unresolved claims against our license.  We always perform our work in a professional manor that is usually above and beyond the Registrar of Contractor’s standards. 

Your home is probably the biggest investment you will ever make in your lifetime. Hiring a licensed contractor offers many protections to you as a property owner, especially regarding residential property. First, a contractor cannot obtain a license without possessing a minimum amount of experience and must pass a business management test. The applicant may be subjected to a criminal history background check and must not have any unresolved contracting complaints outstanding.  A licensed contractor must show proof of Workmen's Compensation before their licensed can be granted or renewed. 

 You can contact the Registrar of Contractors should you experience a problem with a licensed contractor. As a residential property owner, you have significant protections not available to persons utilizing an unlicensed contractor. This is your guarantee, should the workmanship be below standard or in violation of existing codes.

One of the biggest mistakes a homeowner can make is to seek the lowest price when repainting their home.  Since most unlicensed contractors are not bonded or insured and do not pay into the Contractor’s Recovery Fund or pay any unemployment or Workmen's Compensation for their workers, they can often under-bid the licensed professionals.  This bottom line may at first be attractive to the property owner as a way to lower cost and save money, but in the end, it is not. Saving a few pennies now is NOT worth having to live with poor quality workmanship.
