How To Choose a Painter in Sahuarita
- Cost: Get estimates from a few contractors before deciding. Be wary if one contractor gives substantially lower estimates than the rest.
- Guarantees: Get a written copy of any guarantees and ensure you confirm how long they last and what they cover.
- Paint types: Your painter can walk you through the different paint choices and their benefits and downsides to help you determine 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 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. 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 worried about the possible presence of lead, consider looking for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Obtain references from family, friends, and neighbors, or check out the Better Business Bureau (BBB) profiles of local painters. You can also find customer reviews on websites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
