A contractor accountable to their trade association shows commitment to their trade and therefore their customers. The benefits to the consumer include:
- Pride in Results: Trained professional craftsmen using the right materials to give customers the job they want and deserve.
- Great Value: Educated professionals know the latest materials and techniques to address your concerns about quality, longevity and the environment.
- Peace of Mind: Assured compliance to ethics standards, health and safety standards and licensing and insurance requirements.
Our trade association (Painting & Decorating Contractors of America; PDCA) has developed an accreditation we feel all contractors should strive to acheive. This accreditation educates contractors in business operations, technical information and verifies vital credentials. Don Fahrbach the owner of PNP Craftsmen is actively involved in the PDCA steering committee providing the educational materials to meet that goal.
Accreditation is the voluntary approach for contractors to show they comply and exceed what consumers need to have for their protection. Accreditation is what you may equate to a painting degree!
To be accredited, contractors must first comply with mandatory prerequisite of ethics, quality, health and safety standards and demonstrate substantial compliance with industry standards in company operations. PDCA standards are the only painting & decorating standards recognized by the industry professionals to reflect the needs of consumers, the public at-large, and laws and regulations.
