How To Choose a Painter in Deerfield Beach
As you compare painting contractors, consider these key factors.
- Cost: Get price ranges from at least three companies. Use caution if one installer's rates are much lower than the rest.
- Guarantees: Get any guarantees in writing and ensure you understand what they cover and how long they last.
- Paint types: Your painter can guide you through the different paint selections and their pros and cons to help you choose the best type for your needs. Certain paint types, for instance, protect against weather damage more effectively or are better for the environment.
- 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, you might look for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Ask family, friends, and neighbors for references, or use the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to review companies you’re considering. You can also read customer ratings on sites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
