Here are some points that you can follow to know which company is best for you-

    The chances of a new site to be fake are more likely to happen. 
  • Read the reviews: Do your research beforehand. Talk to people who have got their homes painted by the company.

    Don’t ignore any negative points and do appreciate all the positive ones. Choose the one that you find to be the most genuine one. 
  • Talk in case of any confusion: Each company has its own rules and regulations and understanding them can be confusing sometimes.

    It is better to ask instead of assuming and creating problems for the future. Always contact the helpline number in case of emergency or doubt. 
  • Looks for the stars: An online review that is available on Google plays a major role in deciding whether the company is genuine or not.
