[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Professional painters also want to sell you the paint, too. Are they certified, licensed, and insured? Never hire a contractor that isn’t all of the above.[/quote] A painter is not a contractor. The contractor subs out the work to the tradesmen. The painter is one of the tradesmen. By going straight to a tradesman, the owner is cutting out the middle man / contractor and his fees. With the exception of plumber and electrician, there aren't many other trades that require a license. Contractor's insurance covers his subs. The individual tradesman may not have all the insurance and certifications (really, who needs a certification to paint?) but that is how one saves by general contracting out the work for yourself. Especially if the job involves only one trade.[/quote] The painter is a contractor. They're just not a general contractor. [/quote]
