How To Choose a Painter in North Little Rock
- Cost: Ask for pricing from a few companies before deciding. Be cautious if one company offers substantially lower estimates than the rest.
- Guarantees: Be certain you get all guarantees in writing, and that you understand the scope and duration of coverage.
- Paint types: Ask your painter to explain paint selections in detail, covering the pros and cons of each. This will help you select the best option for your project. Some paints have better weather resistance or use more environmentally friendly formulas.
- 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 on a ladder or using power equipment. 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: Request references from family, friends, and neighbors, and check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) profiles of providers you’re considering. You can also find reviews on sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
