How To Choose a Painter in Warner Robins
- Cost: Talk to a few painters to get price estimates. Be wary of unusually cheap prices compared to the average.
- Guarantees: Be certain 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, so you can make an informed decision. Some options are designed for specific needs, 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 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: Get references from family, friends, and neighbors, and look at the Better Business Bureau (BBB) pages of companies you’re considering. You can also check ratings on sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
