Unless you’re prepared to do it yourself, you must select a painter who is well qualified. Unfortunately, there are some people who claim that they are painters but are actually not very good. Here are some tips to let you know that you have a lousy painter:

1. Your painter uses a color chart from a crayon company
2. Your painter uses a paintbrush the size of a toothbrush to paint your outside
3. Your painter doesn’t miss a spot of your furniture. Unfortunately, not everyone enjoys seeing a couch with white speckled paint on it.
4. Your painter strips the wallpaper and then strips himself
5. Your painter takes his brush and paints to the beat of hip hop music. Consequently, your walls have large splotches of paint all over them.
6. Your painter decides to paint a picture of the Mona Lisa on your siding
7. Your painter mixes five cans of paint and then paints your bedroom. He just wants to experiment with his creation.
8. Your painter works on one wall in the living room and then calls it a day. He claims that the stress is killing him.
9. Your painter starts painting your food to liven up the kitchen. Green hotdogs anyone?
10. Your painter decides to paint your garage green and white to match his school colors
