How To Choose a Painter in Chandler
As you evaluate house painting services, consider these key factors.
- Cost: Ask for estimates from at least three companies. Be wary of any contractor that offers a substantially lower price than the average.
- Guarantees: Ask for guarantees in writing and ensure you know which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Your painter can guide you through the different paint selections and their advantages and disadvantages to help you pick the best type for your needs. Certain paints, for instance, withstand 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 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 on a ladder or using power equipment. If your home was built before 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: Get references from friends and neighbors, and check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) pages of companies you’re considering. You can also find reviews on sites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
