How to Hire a Professional Painting Contractor
Most Homeowners and Property Owners in the Kane & Dupage county Areas
Aren’t Sure What Questions Will Help Them
Hire a Painting Contractor that Will Exceed their Expectations
Starting a painting business doesn’t take a lot of money. Lots of folks started a painting business during the recession after being laid off or to make ends meet.
The questions below will help you avoid hiring a painting contractor that will be learning how to paint at your expense.
Professional painting contractors will be glad to answer the questions and back them up in writing. We will provide you with a complete copy of our consumer checklist and step-by-step painting process prior to our first meeting.
These questions will provide you with a lot of information about the painting contractor’s reputation, procedures and experience.
The easiest thing to do is to ask the questions and ask the contractor to provide written evidence to support their answers.
If this seems like a bit of a pain in the neck, consider the frustration of realizing you have hired the wrong painter after they have spilled paint on your floors or damaged your walls or trim.
Business Reputation of the Painting Contractor
Is painting your full-time business?
How many local customer references do you normally provide?
What other business references can you offer?
What professional organization for the painting industry do you belong to?
How much liability, vehicle and workers compensation insurance do you maintain?
Have you ever filed for bankruptcy for a painting company you owned?
Painting Experience, Procedures, Service and Warranty
How long is your warranty and what does it cover?
How many years of painting experience do the owners have?
How many painting projects have you completed in the past 5 years?
How many years of painting experience do your crew leaders have?
Do you offer a price guarantee?
Do you require a deposit?

Our warranty is unique in the painting industry. It is 5 times longer than the warranty most painters offer.
Just about anyone can start a painting company, use cheap labor and materials and give a low bid. We don't do business that way.
We take great pride in work, our people and our reputation in the community.
Some people might think we are nuts to offer a warranty like this:
We don't.
?We have a simple company goal - we want every client to feel comfortable that they have someone that they can trust to complete all of their painting projects.
It starts with our written painting procedures that ensure our crews will follow the same steps every time. Our crews know the standard of quality we expect and they know we won't tolerate inconsistency or sloppy painting.
If you are a homeowner or property owner and you have interior painting or exterior painting needs, we would be pleased to show you our process.
We provide each homeowner with our written painting process when we meet you. Once you have our process, it will be easy to compare what we are offering with other proposals. We are confident the value we offer will be evident.
We Offer Much More than Our 5-Year Warranty
?Here are some additional things you can expect on your painting project:
We only use full-time employees (no part time or day laborers)
Brian or Gene are on site every day to supervise maintain quality control
Written, detailed estimate with price guarantee
$100 deposit required to secure your start date
20 or more local references
?Low VOC or no VOC paint products
??If you are interested in painting a room, painting the entire interior of your home, painting the exterior of your home, or applying a special paint finish to your walls we are ready to demonstrate all that we can offer you.
?If you are going to get multiple proposals bids on your project all that we ask is that we are one of the companies you meet with.

Prior to beginning each interior painting project, we provide you with an outline of our interior painting process, our painting project checklist, and a schedule that we follow rigorously. Every project that we do follows our process because it’s what works for us and it’s ultimately what provides the most satisfaction for our valued clients. Our interior painting process includes a color consultation, proper protection of your furniture and floors, safe staging and set up, daily clean ups, weekly clean ups, and of course a final walk through with one of our painting experts to ensure your complete delight with our work. We do not leave your home until we have completed our project checklist and you are ecstatic about your new interior painting or wall covering application.
As a final word, with every project, we realize that you are inviting us into your home, not to a construction site. Therefore, all of our painting experts take the proper steps to be clean, neat, and organized with their appearance and with their work.
We realize that you have the option to hire anyone for your next interior painting project. But when you hire Al & Brian's Painting, you are becoming a part of our system that has been successfully painting homes for nearly 10 years and follows the same core process that has made us successful for all of those years.

Just Want to Do Enough to Get Paid…
We Believe You Should Expect More from Your Painting Contractor
My name is Brian Pentracosta and I’m President of Al and Brian’s Painting.
I want to assure you that doing business with my company will be a very positive experience. My partner Gene and I work every day to eliminate most of the problems people traditionally have trying to hire, evaluate and work with a painting contractor.
We expect every client to become a client for life and because of that:

If You Need Painting and You Want a Quality Job with a 5 Year Warranty, You've Come to the Right Place.
There are many reasons why our clients continually refer us to family, friends
and business associates.
Since 2008 Al & Brian's Painting has been setting a whole new standard for home painting companies in the area. Here are just some of the reasons:
Rock Solid – No Fine Print 5 YEAR warranty on ALL MATERIALS and LABOR on every house ?painting job. 1080 Successful Painting Projects and Counting – There's not much out there that we haven't seen before. Over 60% of our business last year was referrals.
My mobile phone is on 12 hours every day
When you call me you speak to the decision maker and you will get action. Easy to say, tougher to do so try me, if I can't pick up the phone I will call you back in 2 hours or less.
We only use Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams paint. Many of our competitors use the 'big box store" paint – we won't because saving $5 a can doesn't make sense if the job won't look good in a couple of years.
