Building Great Client/contractor Relationships: a 5 Step Guide for Clients
Building a long-standing relationship with your commercial painting company can pay off big time. Here are five important tips to keep your relationship open, honest and good for you and good for your business.
Step 1: Share Your Priorities
Share your priorities with your commercial painting company contractor. Communication is essential to building long lasting business relationships. Your contractor can’t read your mind. You need to lay out your priorities, objectives and expectations as precisely as you can – as early as you can in the painting process. Don’t worry if things come up – just make sure to communicate why and how they need to be changed or fixed and how that should impact the painting contractor’s process.
Step 2: Negotiate Terms and Listen
A commercial painting company contractor can be a great planning resource. A painting contractor may be able suggest an otherwise overlooked solution to a difficult commercial painting project. Treat your contractor as an interested partner by soliciting opinions, listening to his or her recommendations, and adjusting your expectations and budget (if possible) to accommodate needs.
Step 3: Make a Written Contract
Establish a written detailed contract with the commercial painting company before the contractor preps a single surface or spray paints a single girder. Contracts help to clearly define the business relationship and – in a sense – liberate it. If you and your contractor are not clear on the terms of your mutual arrangement, it’s easy for frustrations and bad feelings to spoil a working relationship.
Step 4: Touch Base Often
Schedule regular meetings to discuss progress. By putting a meeting on the calendar, you and your contractor commit to maintaining an ongoing dialog. Ongoing communications as a project develops is absolutely essential to maintaining a good working relationship. These meetings do not need to take very long, nor do they need to be face to face. Figure on fifteen minutes a week for a routine progress meeting. Follow-up your meeting with an email to the contractor to clarify any significant issues.
Step 5: Trust Experience
Your commercial painting company contractor should know his or her business. Once you have found a painting company with the experience that your facility needs, stand back and let them take care of your projects. Trust your contractor’s experience.
Looking Ahead
Like a personal relationship, a business relationship evolves over time. Periodically review your relationships with contracting firms and outsourcing organizations and discover if there are areas that need touching up and improvement.

Can you draw unemployment and still be an independent contractor that receives a weekly paycheck?
My wife and I are having a debate over a couple that we know. The husband draws unemployment and the wife got a job as a delivery driver. This is an independent contractor’s job and the husband took it over a year ago about 2 days after the wife signed the contact. The point was to get the job under her name so the husband could actually do it so the income would not be reported under his name. My wife says it is legal but I am thinking that there is something wrong if all you have to do to get unemployment and make an income is to put things under a spouses name.
Also, what about the employer who knows the wife is being used only to sign the paperwork so the weekly check is put under her name while the husband is the one actually doing the work? None of this impacts me and I don’t care how they do their own business but as I said, my wife and I have opposing views on the matter.
Your wife is wrong
it’s fraud.
if the employer knows, then he is at risk for participating in the fraud.
they could all go to jail; they should definitely have to repay the money.
