ABOUT US
Albright Painting and Construction has 40+ years of experience in commercial and residential painting, pressure cleaning, carpentry, sheet rock repairs, plastering, wallpaper removal, textured ceilings, staining and handyman services. We have formal trade school education in painting and decorating, cost estimating, blueprint reading, do's and don'ts of ladders and scaffolding, safety and OSHA rules and regulations.
Albright takes pride in our quality workmanship, making sure each and every project has adequate surface preparation.
Eighty five percent of a professional paint job is how well the surface is prepared before the painting begins and how well the project is kept clean throughout the project. This type of workmanship and quality cannot be achieved by being the lowest bidder. It requires a well trained team that understands quality and success are in the details.
All projects are supervised with a journeyman painter on site at all times. All projects are bid to use the middle to the top of the line products. All projects get a daily quality control inspection and will be followed up with an inspection by the owner of Albright and the journeyman supervisor. A final inspection will be with the owner of Albright and the customer. All of our estimates are free with three or more references. Estimators are professionally trained to give a cost estimate on site as well as sign a contract to start work for those customers who are ready to get on Albright's schedule.
Albright understands, that with it's 40 plus years of experience, it is impossible to please every customer. All we ask from our staff, is to do everything in our power to try. We are open to any suggestions or constructive criticism, to make us better. We are human, we make mistakes, and we expect to be held accountable. This is what we call operating with integrity.

This really only matters if you have a preference, but it is good to ask. If you have a strong ideological belief about unions or nonunions, it's perfectly acceptable to make a decision based on the preference.
This will be answered when you ask if all employees are licensed. The only way to obtain a legitimate tradesman's license is to be a legal or naturalized citizen of the US. The company may employ people in positions that don't require a license, however, so it's wise to inquire.
The question is great for some industries and non-applicable for others. A general contractor, for example, will by definition employ subcontractors. Most Durham Handyman companies do not, but there are exceptions. You should always ask this question to your service providers. If they do use subcontractors, ask if they're all licensed and insured independently.
Many jobs in North Carolina will require municipal permits in order to be approved by the town's inspector. It's always good to ask who will be responsible for pulling those permits, and if you'll be expected to do it. You'll almost never be told to pull your own, but knowing that Durham Handyman permits are required makes you appear to be a well informed customer.
You'll certainly want to ask them this. Steer clear of any company that is not insured in North Carolina, because that means that any incidental damage they may do on your property will be a real hassle to recover compensation for. It is never wise to work with uninsured tradesmen of any kind. Most states also require that someone have insurance in order to be issued a trade license. If they say they're licensed but not insured, they're being less than truthful.
