How To Choose a Painter in Buckeye
- Cost: Request quotes from several contractors before deciding. Be wary if one contractor gives substantially lower estimates than the rest.
- Guarantees: Ensure that you get all guarantees in writing, and that you understand what’s covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Your painting company can advise you on the different paint selections and their pros and cons to help you pick the best option for your needs. Certain paint types, for instance, resist weather damage more effectively or are more eco-friendly.
- Qualifications: Painters in Arizona must be licensed by the Registrar of Contractors to work on jobs valued at over $5,000. To obtain a license, painters must hold a surety bond, pass a knowledge exam, and provide proof of experience. In addition to the bond, always confirm that your painter has sufficient liability insurance. This is especially important if they’re working with power equipment or on ladders. If your home was built prior to 1978, and you're concerned about the presence of lead, consider looking for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Ask friends and neighbors for references, and look up each contractor you’re considering on the Better Business Bureau (BBB). You can also check ratings on review sites such as Trustpilot or Google Reviews.
