How To Choose a Painter in Marana
- Cost: Get price ranges from at least three contractors. Use caution if one provider's estimates are significantly lower than the rest.
- Guarantees: Ask for guarantees in writing and ensure you know which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Your painting pro can guide you through the different paint choices and their pros and cons to help you pick the best type for your needs. Certain paints, for instance, protect against 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 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, 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, you might look for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Ask friends, family, and neighbors for references, and look up each provider you’re considering on the Better Business Bureau (BBB). You can also browse review sites such as Trustpilot or Google Reviews.
