Mistake #5 – Using a “one-man” painting
company

helper not show up, leaving you in the lurch and your home in a shambles? Williams

unattractive and unappealing. Don’t take chances with your valuable property assets!
Mistake #7 – Are they a safety conscience company?
Have you ever seen painters working in an unsafe manner? At Williams Professional Painting
we are committed to training and keeping our workers safe.
Mistake #8 – Have you had your new paint peel too
soon?
Have you ever wondered why the paint would be peeling so soon? At Williams Professional
Painting we keep up with the latest in product knowledge. Using the wrong product or
application can be costly.
Mistake #9 – Will they clean up after themselves?
Have you ever been disappointed by the mess someone made or the trash that was left on
site? At Williams Professional Painting we are always training our painters to clean up
after themselves. We properly dispose of hazardous waste.
Mistake #10 – Using an unlicensed company
Have you ever been disappointed by the job someone did and wanted to go after them? Using
a licensed contractor insures that you have someone who will step in and help if anything
goes wrong. Make sure that the contractor is licensed for the type of work you are asking
for. We are licensed with the State of Virginia Contractors Licensing Board as a Class A
contractor.
Mistake #11 – Using an inexperienced painting
company with no references or track record
Did you ever fail to check out a contractors references before the work begins and then
find out that he had just gotten into the trade. At Williams Professional Painting
we have a long list of satisfied customers.
Mistake #12 – Using an painting company that is here
today and gone tomorrow
Why can I not get in touch with that last painter. Did he leave town? We have been
in the painting business here in Northern Virginia for 28 years. We honor our
warrantees and WE WILL be here if you need us.
Mistake #13 – Better Business Bureau
We are members in good standing with the Washington Metropolitan Area Better Business
Bureau. It helps to have a third party to check out someone and help with any disputes.
Mistake #14 – Written contracts
Have you done the “he said, she said” in getting work done? At Williams
Professional Painting we use written contracts. Having it in writing solves most problems
before they happen. Be sure that you understand the contract terms before signing.
Mistake #15 – Final Payment
Have you ever paid before the job was completed and the contractor skipped out? How
frustrating! We arn't going anywhere and if you need us we will still be here when you
call. You can't stay in business by taking other peoples money.
