Contractor Fraud: Protect Yourself

Contractor Fraud: Protect Yourself

Your home is likely the most expensive and valuable property you will own in your lifetime -it’s an investment and a lot of work. There’s always something to repair or improve and it’s often worth it to hire a professional. This is where most people call a contractor to do the work for them - but be cautious when seeking to hire someone for home improvements. Unfortunately there are scammers, and even legitimate contractors that just don’t care.

How to protect yourself:

Choose a contractor who is on time and organized for your estimate appointment - this demonstrates a value for your time.
Their estimate is detailed and makes sense. If you’re confused about what exactly the price represents… proceed with caution. As a consumer you have right to know what you’re paying for.
They have a contractor’s license (you can verify its validity at http://www.cslb.ca.gov/), insurance, and a warranty.
Lastly, common sense. If this person has no signage on their vehicle, no business card, their price is miles below everyone, or they are able to do the work much sooner than any other company - it’s time to ask yourself, “Why?”

Brooks Painting has been serving Yolo, Sacramento, Solano, and Placer counties since 1997, and would be proud to assist you with cabinet, residential and commercial painting projects. To schedule your free estimate call 530-753-5074.

Because we know we’re doing it all the right way, we can confidently stand by our work. We’re picky, and we want you to be 100% satisfied.

Hiring Brooks Painting was an easy and professional process the whole way through, from the estimate to the completion of having my very high walls edged, where I was unable to reach them. Crew Leader Eric was prompt and super capable, which was a relief since he had to maneuver and climb a very tall ladder. He was also in the process of teaching a newer painter and I admired his positive and encouraging manner. In addition, he was willing to respond to my requests with ease. No regrets here! The edging looks amazing and only took 4 hours to complete.

Mark and the team from Brook’s Painting are exceptional at their jobs. We recently renovated a 5000sqft home and they did all the painting. Their attention to detail and investment in our project is so appreciated, and we knew we were in good hands with them. The value they add by identifying issues, making suggestions and going the extra mile to deliver quality work and make sure we are happy with our home is such a breath of fresh air. I would hire this team and company for any future work in a heartbeat and can’t say enough how amazing they are!

What a difference!! We hired Brooks Painting to do both an interior refresh painting and a completely new exterior color. Everything was handled professionally and as promised. The team, from estimator to office to painters on site, was responsive, friendly and skilled. Brooks Painting is the most reliable contractor we have ever hired. Thank you Jeremy, Dan, Israel, and Kristen.

I wanted to have my kitchen cabinets painted but knew that that was a job that required skill and expertise. I called Brooks Painting and the experience from start to finish was perfect! Everyone I dealt with was personable and good at their jobs. They spent time answering questions, explaining the exact process, and did the work precisely as promised. They even did a few other small jobs (repairing and painting 2 water damaged ceilings) to perfection. And everything was neat and clean when they left! And the cabinets – better than I could have hoped for. Esteban is a master craftsman who was meticulous in every aspect of his work. The finish is smooth as glass with no imperfections. I couldn’t be happier!
