How To Choose a Painter in Ormond Beach
- Cost: Talk to a few painters to get price estimates. Be wary of exceptionally cheap prices compared to the average.
- Guarantees: Be certain 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 various paint options, including the benefits and drawbacks of each, to help you make an informed decision. Some options are designed for 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 make sure that your contractor is bonded and insured, especially if they’re working with power equipment or on ladders. If your home was built prior to 1978, and you're concerned about the presence of lead, you may want to 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 browse providers you’re considering. You can also read customer reviews on sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
