How To Choose a Painter in Wesley Chapel
When searching for a house painting service, consider these key factors.
- Cost: Request quotes from at least three companies. Be cautious if one provider's estimates are significantly lower than others.
- Guarantees: Get any guarantees in writing and ensure you understand how long they last and what they cover.
- Paint types: Ask your painter to go over various paint options, including the pros and cons of each, so you can make an informed decision. Some options cater to specific priorities, 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 verify that your contractor is bonded and insured, particularly if they’re working with power equipment or on ladders. If your home was built prior to 1978, and you're worried about the possible presence of lead, consider looking for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Obtain references from friends and neighbors, or verify the Better Business Bureau (BBB) listings of local painters. You can also read customer reviews on websites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
How Much Does Painting Cost in Wesley Chapel?

Most painters increase their rates during the summer in response to increased demand. In Wesley Chapel, painting projects for both interiors and exteriors usually run $0.71 to $2.85 per square foot. Most homes have greater interior square footage, which results in higher paint costs indoors versus outdoors.

For example, you'll likely spend less if you schedule exterior and interior painting together rather than separately.
