Why Hiring an Insured Painting Contractor Matters

Hiring an insured painting contractor is essential for protecting yourself and your property. Construction and renovation work carry a significantly higher risk of injury compared to other service industries, and the potential for accidents is ever-present. However, the risks don’t stop at personal injury; property damage is also a common concern in any painting or renovation project. Without proper insurance, you could find yourself liable for unexpected costs that arise from an incident on your property.

When evaluating a painting contractor, make sure they have two key types of insurance coverage in place:

General Liability Insurance: This protects you, the property owner, from financial liability in case the contractor accidentally causes damage to your property. If an incident occurs—like spilled paint on expensive flooring or damage to walls or windows—general liability insurance ensures that you’re not footing the bill for repairs.

Workers’ Compensation Insurance: In the event that a worker is injured while working on your property, workers’ compensation insurance covers their medical expenses and lost wages. This type of insurance also shields you from potential legal liability related to employee injuries, providing peace of mind and financial protection.

By choosing an insured contractor, you’re making a smart investment in safety, security, and professionalism. At Thrift Painting, we prioritize your peace of mind by maintaining comprehensive insurance coverage, so you can trust that your project is in capable and responsible hands.

The Risk of Hiring an Uninsured Contractor

If your property was damaged or someone on your property was injured due to work being done, you may get left footing the bill. If one of the contractor's employees was injured while working on your job, you might be left footing their expenses while they cannot work! This can end up being very expensive. When you consider the financial risks as a customer, it isn't worth hiring a contractor who is 10-15% cheaper if it means you could be left on the hook for thousands of dollars of bills if something goes wrong.

What to ask for:

Ask the contractor you're considering for a Certificate of Insurance. This will tell you what types and limits each contractor has. These are easy to provide. The contractor needs to call their insurance agent, and they can mail or email you a copy without delay.
