How To Choose a Painter in Wheatland
- Cost: Get price ranges from at least three painters. Use caution if one installer's rates are significantly lower than the rest.
- Guarantees: Make sure you get a written contract outlining any guarantees and that you understand the scope and duration of coverage.
- Paint types: Ask your painter to go over various paint options, including the positives and negatives of each, to help you make an informed decision. Some options are designed for specific needs, such as weather-resistant or eco-friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: Verify your painter is properly licensed to work in Wheatland and in the state of Illinois. All painters should be 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, you may want to look for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Ask family and friends for references, or use the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to browse providers you’re considering. You can also read customer ratings on sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
