How To Choose a Painter in Beaumont
- Cost: Get estimates from a few companies before deciding. Be wary if one company gives substantially lower estimates than the rest.
- Guarantees: Make sure you get all guarantees in writing, and that you understand the scope and duration of coverage.
- Paint types: Have your painting pro walk you through paint options and related benefits and drawbacks to ensure you choose the right kind for your project. Some paints, for example, are more eco-conscious or better at withstanding weather damage.
- Qualifications: Painters who work on jobs valued at over $500 must be licensed by the California Contractors State License Board. To obtain this license, a contractor must have proof of experience and must have workers' compensation insurance if they have employees. Any contractor you hire should be properly bonded and insured, especially 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, you might look for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Get references from family and friends, or review the Better Business Bureau (BBB) listings of local painters. You can also browse customer ratings on websites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
