How To Choose a Painter in Daytona Beach
- Cost: Get price quotes from at least three companies. Be wary of any contractor that offers a substantially lower price than others.
- Guarantees: Ensure that you get a written contract outlining any guarantees and that you understand the duration and scope of coverage.
- Paint types: Have your painting pro walk you through paint options and related benefits and drawbacks to ensure you choose the right kind for your project. Some paints, for example, withstand weather damage better than others or are more eco-friendly.
- 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, especially if they’re working on a ladder or using power equipment. If your home was built before 1978, and you're concerned about the presence of lead, consider looking for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Get references from friends and neighbors, and review the Better Business Bureau (BBB) profiles of painters you’re considering. You can also find ratings on sites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
