How To Choose a Painter in Peachtree Corners
- Cost: Get estimates from several companies before deciding. Be cautious if one company offers substantially lower rates than the rest.
- Guarantees: Request guarantees in writing and ensure you know which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your paint pro to go over paint selections in detail, covering the positives and negatives of each. This will help you select the best option for your project. Some paints have better weather resistance or use more 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, especially if they’re working on a ladder or using power equipment. If your home was built before 1978, and you're worried about the possible 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: Request references from friends and neighbors, and look at the Better Business Bureau (BBB) pages of providers you’re considering. You can also find reviews on sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
