How To Choose a Painter in Denver
- Cost: Get estimates from a few contractors before deciding. Be wary if one contractor offers substantially lower estimates than the rest.
- Guarantees: Get all guarantees in writing and ensure you know which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your painter to explain different paint choices, 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: Make sure the company you hire has the licensing required in Denver and in the state of Colorado. Make sure your painter is properly bonded and insured, especially if they’re working with power equipment or on ladders. If your home was built before 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: Obtain references from family, friends, and neighbors, or check out the Better Business Bureau (BBB) pages of local painters. You can also browse customer ratings on websites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
