How To Choose a Painter in Hesperia
- Cost: Request price estimates from at least three painters. Be cautious of any company that offers a substantially cheaper rate than the average.
- Guarantees: Make sure you get all guarantees in writing, and that you understand what’s covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your painting contractor to go over various paint options, including the pros and cons of each, to help you make an informed decision. Some options are designed for specific needs, such as weather-resistant or eco-friendly formulas.
- 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 might look for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Obtain references from friends and neighbors, or check out the Better Business Bureau (BBB) profiles of local painting companies. You can also browse customer ratings on websites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
