Why Hire a Licensed House Painter?

There are several important reasons why you should hire a painter that is Licensed.

First, it is illegal to hire someone in the State of Arizona, for any amount over $1,000 or a contractor without a license to do work on your property over $1,000 on that job.

If the contractor gets caught he will be fined and will not be able to work anywhere in Arizona for one year.

When it comes to hiring companies in the building trades, people know instinctively to look for and hire a licensed contractor for protection against scammers and bad business people.

But for some reason, it seems people do not use the same caution and due diligence when it comes to hiring a house painter.

Do not be one of those people!

When a painter receives his/her contracting license, they have completed and passed two tests in the State of Arizona.

1.) Test on tax and finances.

2.) Test on painting. (Equipment, paints, best practices, and more)

Once that painter passes his exams through the Arizona Registrar of Contractors, he then has a licensing Background Check.

He then is required to buy a bonding certificate in case there is some type of accident on the job.

The license for a Arizona Painting Contractor is:

R-34 Painting and Wall Covering

This classification allows the licensee to perform surface preparation to install, apply, and repair:

1. Wallpaper

2. Wall covering cloth

3. Wall covering vinyl

4. Decorative texture

5. Paint

6. Liquid floor and wall coatings

If there is a problem between the homeowner and the painting contractor, they can always contact the Arizona Registrar of Contractors and have them mediate between them and the contractor for resolution.

If the homeowner has hired a painter that is not licensed, they will have no recourse for a resolution and no one to make sure the job is completed to their satisfaction.

If the painter does not have a bond and is not insured and an accident occurs on the job, the homeowner will be responsible.

By hiring a Licensed house painter, you are insuring that you are hiring a professional painter, well versed in his trade.
