If you type in "painting contractor" on Google you will, almost instantly, find an extensive list of painters that can provide you with a painting estimate. However, how to come to the conclusion of which ones are worth your time filling out a form or contacting to request an estimate?
 
Among a paradise of offerings, we need to rely on the truth: positive customer reviews across different channels; real project pictures (before and after are always a plus), a great website with contact information within reach, etc. 
 
Done! Now you narrowed down your options and can finally submit a painting estimate request to reliable contractors that stood up among the competition. However, when that's done you realize that's the easiest step of the whole process. When your requested painting estimates arrive, how to decide which one is the best? Of course, the pricing point takes a huge part in the decision-making process, but other factors can help you choose the best contractor.
 
Many factors need to be counted when deciding who'll be taking care of your place, one of them is technology. Reliable painters are constantly learning from experts, attending networking events, and investing in the best gadgets to make not only the painting process more efficient but also the client experience more pleasant.
