How To Choose a Painter in Prescott Valley
- Cost: Ask for estimates from at least three providers. Be wary of any contractor that offers a substantially lower price than others.
- Guarantees: Get all guarantees in writing and ensure you understand which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your paint pro to go over paint selections in detail, including the pros and cons of each. This will help you decide on the best option for your project. Some paints have better weather resistance or use more environmentally friendly formulas.
- 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 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: Get friends and neighbors to provide references, or use the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to browse painters you’re considering. You can also read customer feedback on sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
