How To Choose a Painter in Hacienda Heights
- Cost: Get price quotes from at least three companies. Be wary of any contractor that offers a substantially lower price than the average.
- Guarantees: Get a written copy of any guarantees and ensure you confirm what they cover and how long they last.
- Paint types: Have your contractor walk you through paint options and related benefits and drawbacks to ensure you choose the right kind for your project. Some paints, for example, resist weather damage better than others or are more eco-friendly.
- 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 on a ladder or using power equipment. If your home was built prior to 1978, and you're concerned about the presence of lead, you may want to 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, and look at the Better Business Bureau (BBB) profiles of painters you’re considering. You can also check reviews on sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
