How To Choose a Painter in Brighton
- Cost: Request quotes from at least three painters. Use caution if one company's prices are much lower than others.
- Guarantees: Ask for guarantees in writing and ensure you know which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your painter to explain various paint options, including the pros and cons of each, so you can make an informed decision. Some options are designed for specific needs, such as weather-resistant or eco-friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: Confirm your painter is properly licensed to work in Brighton and in the state of Colorado. All painters should be properly bonded and insured. This is especially important if they’re working with power equipment or on ladders. If your home was built before 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: Obtain references from friends and neighbors, or verify the Better Business Bureau (BBB) listings of local painting companies. You can also read customer reviews on websites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
