How To Choose a Painter in Conway
When selecting a residential painting company, consider these key factors.
- Cost: Ask for pricing from several companies before deciding. Be cautious if one company gives substantially lower estimates than the rest.
- Guarantees: Get a hard copy of your painter's guarantees and ensure you understand how long they last and what they cover.
- Paint types: Your painting company can walk you through the different paint selections and their pros and cons to help you determine the best one for your needs. Certain paint types, for instance, withstand weather damage more effectively or are better for the environment.
- Qualifications: Painting contractors working on jobs valued at over $2,000 must be licensed by the Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board. Subcontractors working under a licensed contractor are not required to be licensed themselves. Always confirm that your contractor is fully bonded and insured. This is especially important if they’re working with power equipment or on ladders. 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 family and friends to provide references, or use the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to browse companies you’re considering. You can also find customer feedback on sites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
