Does It Matter if a Painting Contractor Has Insurance?

When homeowners are shopping for a painting contractor in the greater Sacramento area, there are many things they are looking for: a good reputation, quality services, positive testimonials, and of course, a fair price. Very few people give thought to whether a house painter has insurance. So, is it important? Should I make sure the painting contractor I choose has insurance?

Yes! While it may be tempting to think, "Hey, it's just painting... what could go wrong?" the truth is that all kinds of unforeseen events may occur, and you want to be protected.

Why Should a Davis Painting Company Have Insurance?

There are two basic kinds of insurance that a house painter should carry, and each one has a different purpose.

  • General Liability Insurance covers any damage that may occur in your home. Of course, a good painting contractor will be very careful and make safety a high priority. Nevertheless, accidents do sometimes happen. Falls and spills are always a possibility, no matter how careful you are. Also, painting tools and vehicles can cause damage, unlikely though it may seem. Hiring a painter with liability insurance means you are not at financial risk should something happen that is by fault of the contractor.
  • Worker's Compensation Insurance is another important coverage that a good house painter should carry. This is a sign that an employer cares about his employees and complies with employment laws. In the unlikely event of an employee accident on your project, you will not be at risk of a lawsuit, since the Worker's Compensation is designed to protect both you and the employee.

Fully-Insured Yolo County Painting company

At Brooks Painting, we want to be above-board and responsible to our clients and our employees. That is why we carry full Liability coverage and Worker's Compensation coverage. We will even provide you with certificates of insurance upon your request.

Not only do we carry full insurance, we are also licensed by the city of Davis and by the state of California. Additionally, we have also earned accreditation from the PDCA (Painting and Decorating Contractors of America), an honor very few residential painters have achieved.

Chris and Gabriel were amazing. Corey was patient and helpful in answering questions and while I decided on colors. The office was easy to contact and had good follow-through. Thank you so much to Brooks for a job I could not possibly be happier with. Feel free to use me as a reference!

Very professional, live up to their billing! [The] company was very cooperative, on top of everything. [They] followed through with their commitment.

Eric and his crew were on time every day and did a very thorough job. I was thrilled that they were willing to paint my outdoor light fixtures which were getting rusty. I was particularly impressed how much time they spent going over their work at the end to catch spots that were missed. I’ll be using them again for interior painting.

Very professional, I appreciate the time they took to make sure everything was taken care of for my house! I really liked that Jaime stepped up and told me not to paint my front door like the house and then chose a color that worked great. Thank you!

It was fun working with Chris and his crew. I’ve never had a contracted job go so smoothly from start to finish. The office was responsive to my needs, Corey was patient and helpful while I made color choices, and Chris made sure I was happy with the crew’s work every step of the way. Gabriel does amazing work as well. Very much a perfectionist like Chris. I don’t have a bad thing to say. The job is absolutely stunning and I’ve had so many neighbors tell me it’s beautiful. I’m happy to put one of your signs in my front yard if you’d like so people know as they drive by who did the work. Thank you Brooks Painting. I will be recommending you to anybody who asks.

Brooks did a fantastic job on our exterior and interior paint jobs. Quality was high, price was reasonable, and the team was extremely professional and detail-oriented. Mark was our crew lead and the team performed a number of exterior wood repairs, a door re-stain, interior and exterior painting. Mark clearly takes a lot of pride in his work and went above and beyond to ensure the work was high-quality, including finding exact matching siding to fix dry rot, and performing minor repairs that weren't even included in the quote. He and the team were all consistently positive and personable, joking with each other throughout the day, while also genuinely complimenting each other on the quality of their work. It was great to see, and that positivity definitely showed through the work they did. We couldn't be happier with the end result.

My experience with Brooks Painting has been outstanding, and, if it were an option on Google, I would assign 100 stars to their work. Mark and his crew were exceptional in painting both the inside and outside of my Central Davis home. They were considerate, careful, and respectful of my furnishings and yard. Kristen and her office staff were also responsive to my queries and were timely in scheduling the work. Thank you Brooks Painting for assisting in transforming my house into a beautiful home!
