Screen one painter before you hire.
Use this checklist when you already have a business name and want a clearer way to organize license, review, local-proof, insurance, and written-scope checks before you decide.
What this tool does and does not do
- It organizes trust signals based on the information you provide.
- It does not verify identity, insurance, licensing, or legal history automatically.
- It works best alongside the license lookup, the public formula, and the reputation guide.

Common questions about this checklist
Is this a background check on a painter?
No. This is a homeowner checklist. It uses the information you provide to organize what still needs work before hiring.
Why not show a trust score?
A named-business trust score would imply live factual verification. This checklist is safer and more honest unless a real data-verification layer exists behind it.
What should I do after I get a screening summary?
Verify the license, ask for insurance, compare written scopes, and use the city rankings as a shortlist tool rather than hiring from one signal alone.
