How To Choose a Painter in Newnan
- Cost: Request price estimates from at least three companies. Be cautious of any company that quotes a substantially cheaper rate than the average.
- Guarantees: Make sure you get all guarantees in writing and that you understand the scope and duration of coverage.
- Paint types: Ask your paint pro to explain different paint options, including the positives and negatives of each, to help you make an informed decision. Some options cater to specific priorities, such as weather-resistant or eco-friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: For projects over $2,500, make sure you hire a painter who holds a Georgia Residential Basic Contractor License. Always make sure your painter is properly bonded and insured. This is especially important 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, ensure that your contractor follows the regulations surrounding lead-based paint set out by Georgia’s Environmental Protection Division.
- 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 read customer ratings on sites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
