How To Choose a Painter in Boynton Beach
- Cost: Contact a few painters to get price estimates. Be wary of unusually cheap prices compared to the average.
- Guarantees: Request guarantees in writing and ensure you know which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your painting contractor to go over different paint options, including the positives and negatives of each, so you can make an informed decision. Some options cater to specific needs, such as weather-resistant or eco-friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: A painter in Florida can be registered, which means they can work in their local area, or certified, which means they can work anywhere in the state. Painters also need a general contractor license from the Construction Industry Licensing Board. No matter their other credentials, it's important to verify that your contractor is bonded and insured, particularly if they’re working on a ladder or using power equipment. If your home was built before 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 family and friends for references, and look up each painter you’re considering on the Better Business Bureau (BBB). You can also browse review sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
