How To Choose a Painter in Perris
- Cost: Contact a few painters to get price estimates. Be wary of unusually cheap prices compared to the average.
- Guarantees: Make sure you get a written contract outlining any guarantees and that you understand the scope and duration of coverage.
- Paint types: Ask your painting contractor to go over various paint choices, including the benefits and drawbacks of each, to help you make an informed decision. Some options cater to specific priorities, 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 with power equipment or on ladders. 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: Ask for references from friends and neighbors, and review the Better Business Bureau (BBB) profiles of companies you’re considering. You can also find ratings on sites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
