How We Vet Painters
We list fewer painters on purpose. Here are the checks every painter has to pass before we send them a single job, and what keeps them on the list.
Before a painter joins
1. Registered business
We check the company’s registration and UEN with ACRA. No registered business, no listing.
2. Insurance
Painters must have work injury compensation insurance for their workers, as required for manual workers in Singapore, and public liability insurance in case of damage to your home or neighbouring property.
3. Track record
We ask for photos and customer contacts from recent jobs, and look for consistent, tidy work. We also look at public reviews.
4. Clear, written quotes
Painters must agree to give itemised written quotes showing the paint brand, number of coats, prep work, timeline and payment terms. Vague one-line quotes aren’t accepted.
5. Fair payment terms
We ask painters not to demand large upfront payments. A reasonable deposit with the balance on completion protects both sides.
After a painter joins
- Feedback after every job. We check in with customers when the job is done.
- Complaints are followed up. If you have a problem, we contact the painter and push for a fix.
- Repeat issues mean removal. Painters with repeated complaints, no-shows or poor workmanship are removed from our shortlist.
What we can’t promise
We’re a matching service, not the contractor. Your agreement is with the painter you choose. That’s why we vet carefully up front, and why we always recommend getting the scope, price and warranty in writing before work starts. Our guide on how to choose a painter in Singapore covers what to check.
