How To Choose a Painter in Royal Palm Beach
- Cost: Talk to a few companies to get price estimates. Watch out for exceptionally cheap prices compared to the average.
- Guarantees: Ask for guarantees in writing and ensure you know which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Have your painting pro walk you through paint options and related advantages and disadvantages to ensure you select the best type for your project. Some paints, for example, resist 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 make sure 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 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 and friends for references, or use the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to review companies you’re considering. You can also find customer feedback on sites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
