We only subcontract out work that we are not qualified to do ourselves (i.e. carpentry repairs) but we only will subcontract out to a contractor that we work with on a regular basis and one that we trust to know that they will complete the required work at a level acceptable to us. We require the final payment to be made within 5 days of the completion of the job (some jobs do require a deposit). We give our customers the ability to see the painting work completed in various lighting to make sure they are completely satisfied with the work completed. We also accept credit cards as a form of payment.
