The last thing you want to worry about is being taken advantage of after you’ve survived a traumatizing event such as a natural disaster.  Living in the foothills of Fort Collins, we’ve been evacuated a few times and no how stressful this situation can be. Lotus Painting IS a reputable Fort Collins painting company and you can trust us and our work.  Check out our BBB profile that shows we’ve been in business for 25+ years and we’ve summarized a few good tips below.

• Don’t be in a hurry. It may take a while for local paint contractors to get around to you and you may be frustrated. That is understandable. But scammers understand this too and will attempt to manipulate these feelings of frustration to your detriment. Don’t be pressured into making a decision.

• Find out if the Fort Collins painting company uses their own workers or if they hire individual, third-party sub-contractors. It is very important to know exactly who will be doing the work and who is responsible if something goes wrong.

• Do not hire a Fort Collins paint contractor who asks you to pay a large amount upfront before work begins. It’s best to stagger payments according to the work schedule.
