How To Choose a Painter in Parker
- Cost: Talk to a few companies to get price estimates. Watch out for exceptionally cheap prices compared to the average.
- Guarantees: Ensure that you get a written contract outlining any guarantees and that you know the duration and scope of coverage.
- Paint types: Ask your painting contractor to explain paint selections in detail, covering the positives and negatives of each. This will help you decide on the best option for your project. Some paints have better weather resistance or use more environmentally friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: Make sure your painter is properly licensed in Parker 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 prior to 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: Ask family and friends for references, and look up each contractor you’re considering on the Better Business Bureau (BBB). You can also browse review sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
