How to Hire the Right Painters for Your Home and Business
Hiring the right painters can mean the difference between a beautiful, lasting finish and a stressful, expensive project. Whether you want to update your home or improve your business, a professional paint job can quickly change the look and feel of any space. It can increase curb appeal, protect your property, and create a place you enjoy every day.
If you’re in Grand Junction or anywhere across Colorado’s Western Slope, here’s what to look for when choosing the best painting company for your project.
1. Look for Experience and Reputation
When you’re trusting someone to work on your home or business, experience matters. Look for painters with a solid track record of residential and commercial projects. Ask to see photos of past work or read online reviews to see what other customers are saying.
Tip: XL Painting offers personalized project consultations and flexible scheduling to minimize disruption, along with a proven record for achieving flawless, lasting results on diverse home and business projects across the Western Slope.
2. Verify Licensing and Insurance

Professional painters should always carry the proper licenses and insurance. This protects you, your property, and the painters themselves in case of an accident or damage. Never hesitate to ask for proof before hiring.
Tip: XL Painting's coverage includes full liability protection specific to Colorado projects, ensuring you're shielded from unexpected costs and complications throughout every phase of our work.
3. Ask About Their Process
The best painters do more than just show up and start working. They follow a clear, professional process:
Detailed surface preparation (cleaning, sanding, patching, priming)
High-quality materials and paint products
Clean, careful application
Final walkthrough and satisfaction guarantee
Tip: At XL Painting, you receive regular updates, detailed documentation of our process, and a satisfaction guarantee tailored to your priorities. Our crews treat your property with extra care on every job.
4. Compare Estimates, Not Just Prices
Don’t focus only on price. Look at what each estimate covers, from preparation to cleanup. Good painters will give you clear costs from the start.
Tip: XL Painting provides itemized, transparent estimates and suggests optimal solutions based on your needs, ensuring you're never surprised by unexpected costs or limitations.

5. Evaluate Communication and Professionalism
From the first phone call to the final touch-up, communication is key. A great painting company listens to your needs and addresses them promptly.
Tip: XL Painting is easy to reach by phone or text, ensuring all your concerns are addressed promptly and your expectations are met at every step.
6. Choose Local Expertise
Hiring local painters such as XL Painting means you benefit from our deep network of regional suppliers, familiarity with unique Western Slope conditions, and proven strategies for maximizing paint durability and style in Colorado's environments.
