How do I pick a good painter?

This topic is available here on The Repair-Place forum I am having some extensive painting done inside my home and would like to know if there is a correct way to choose a reliable painter. First I would check with some of your friends. If no luck there, then look in the local newspaper. Ask for referrals and then CALL THEM. Ask questions about showing up when scheduled and about neatness. Also ask who will be doing the work, you or someone else he would hire. Also ask about insurance and workers comp if needed. You can ask his insurance company to send you a certificate of insurance but don’t accept one directly from him though. TheGuru
