Questions to Ask That 1 Painter North Jersey

What happens if there's a scheduling conflict?

One reviewer described a situation where the scheduled appointment was missed with limited notice, resulting in the project being cancelled. While this appears to be an isolated incident among over 90 positive reviews, it's worth confirming scheduling procedures upfront. Ask them directly: "What is your policy if there's a scheduling conflict, and how do you communicate changes?"

"We set an appointment for 9 AM at 9:30 I Messaged him to find out where he was. He said his guys would not be here till 1030." - Michelle C., Google Review (no owner reply)
