ABOUT US
Albright Painting and Construction has 40+ years of experience in commercial and residential painting, pressure cleaning, carpentry, sheet rock repairs, plastering, wallpaper removal, textured ceilings, staining and handyman services. We have formal trade school education in painting and decorating, cost estimating, blueprint reading, do's and don'ts of ladders and scaffolding, safety and OSHA rules and regulations.
Albright takes pride in our quality workmanship, making sure each and every project has adequate surface preparation.
Eighty five percent of a professional paint job is how well the surface is prepared before the painting begins and how well the project is kept clean throughout the project. This type of workmanship and quality cannot be achieved by being the lowest bidder. It requires a well trained team that understands quality and success are in the details.
All projects are supervised with a journeyman painter on site at all times. All projects are bid to use the middle to the top of the line products. All projects get a daily quality control inspection and will be followed up with an inspection by the owner of Albright and the journeyman supervisor. A final inspection will be with the owner of Albright and the customer. All of our estimates are free with three or more references. Estimators are professionally trained to give a cost estimate on site as well as sign a contract to start work for those customers who are ready to get on Albright's schedule.
Albright understands, that with it's 40 plus years of experience, it is impossible to please every customer. All we ask from our staff, is to do everything in our power to try. We are open to any suggestions or constructive criticism, to make us better. We are human, we make mistakes, and we expect to be held accountable. This is what we call operating with integrity.

This is important mostly for larger jobs. Clearly a two man operation is going to build a home much slower than a 15 man crew. This is also a good indication of the overall size of the Handyman company, if that's an area of concern for you. The reason you may want to ask about the fleet is that fleet size is a good indicator of the mobility of the company. Mobility may not sound important, but it's hard for the Durham contractors to get to job sites if they lack appropriate vehicles.
You'll always want to ask how long the company has been in business in Durham. While this isn't a guarantee that the company will do good work, companies with longevity on their side must be doing something right. That being said, there are newer companies that do great work. If the company is under three years old, ask where the owner was employed before and for how long. If he/she has a long history of employment, it's reasonable to infer that he or she decided to go into business for themselves after so many years of experience.
This really only matters if you have a preference, but it is good to ask. If you have a strong ideological belief about unions or nonunions, it's perfectly acceptable to make a decision based on the preference.
The question is great for some industries and non-applicable for others. A general contractor, for example, will by definition employ subcontractors. Most Durham Handyman companies do not, but there are exceptions. You should always ask this question to your service providers. If they do use subcontractors, ask if they're all licensed and insured independently.
