2. Get a quote from more than one company, in writing. You may be able to negotiate a lower price with a better company if you have more than one option on hand. Don’t hire on low prices alone, it may end up costing you more in the long run.
3. Ask for references. Follow-up on these references and remember the industrial painting company is not going to give you any bad reference. To get a true view of the companies work ask their references if they know of any other work the company has done.
4. Pay attention to the professionalism and courtesy of the representative, it is a good indication of the industrial paint company standards.
5. Question their knowledge of paints, application and decorating. If they have a good knowledge of these things it will make you feel more comfortable placing your property in their hands.

9. What type of training have workers gone through, and how long have the workers that will be working on your property been with the company?
