## Before you hire a painter / decorator
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else.
- Read recent reviews for reliability and turning up on time, not only the quality of the work.
- Agree the call-out fee up front, and be wary of large upfront deposits for an emergency job.
- Run the Cowboy Checker to confirm the business is real before you let anyone in.
