- Guarantees: Request guarantees in writing and ensure you understand which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Your painter can walk you through the different paint options and their benefits and downsides to help you choose the best type for your needs. Certain paints, for instance, withstand weather damage more effectively or are better for the environment.
- Qualifications: Painters in Arizona must be licensed by the Registrar of Contractors to work on jobs valued at more than $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, especially if they’re working with power equipment or on ladders. If your home was built before 1978, and you're worried about the possible presence of lead, consider looking for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
