How To Choose a Painter in Windsor
When choosing a painting service, keep these key points in mind.
- Cost: Get estimates from several contractors before deciding. Be cautious if one company offers substantially lower rates than others.
- Guarantees: Ensure that 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 different paint options, including the positives and negatives of each, to help you make an informed decision. Some options cater to specific needs, such as weather-resistant or eco-friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: Make sure the company you hire has the licensing required in Windsor and in the state of Colorado. All painters 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 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 friends and neighbors for references, and look up each painter you’re considering on the Better Business Bureau (BBB). You can also check ratings on review sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
