How To Choose a Painter in Roswell
- Cost: Request price estimates from at least three companies. Be wary of any company that offers a substantially cheaper rate than others.
- Guarantees: Make sure you get all guarantees in writing, and that you understand the scope and duration of coverage.
- Paint types: Your painting company can guide you through the different paint options and their advantages and disadvantages to help you choose the best option for your needs. Certain paints, for instance, resist weather damage more effectively or are more eco-friendly.
- 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 prior to 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: Get friends and neighbors to provide references, or use the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to browse painters you’re considering. You can also find customer feedback on sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
