How To Choose a Painter in Jupiter
When deciding on a residential painting contractor, keep these key points in mind.
- Cost: Ask for estimates from at least three painters. Be wary of any company that quotes a substantially lower price than competitors.
- Guarantees: Make sure you get all guarantees in writing and that you understand the scope and duration of coverage.
- Paint types: Your painting company can walk you through the different paint choices and their advantages and disadvantages to help you pick the best type for your needs. Certain paints, for instance, resist 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 confirm that your contractor is bonded and insured, particularly if they’re working with power equipment or on ladders. 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: Get references from family and friends, and review the Better Business Bureau (BBB) pages of providers you’re considering. You can also check reviews on sites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
How Much Does Painting Cost in Jupiter?
The price of professional painting work is influenced by the dimensions of your home, the paint types chosen, and the season. Most painters raise their rates during the summer due to increased demand. The typical cost of both interior and exterior painting is about $0.82 to $3.30 per square foot. Since most homes have greater interior than exterior space, painting the interior is generally more expensive than painting the exterior. For a 2,000-square-foot home in Jupiter, you can expect to pay around $4,121 to paint the exterior and $1,648 to $6,594 to paint the interior. Alternatively, local Jupiter painters may charge anywhere from $17.19 to $28.64 per hour. Hourly rates may save you money, especially if you're bundling services. For example, if you get both your home’s interior and exterior painted at once, you’ll pay less overall than you would if you’d scheduled them separately.
