How To Choose a Painter in Winfield
- Cost: Talk to a few companies to get price estimates. Watch out for unusually cheap prices compared to the average.
- Guarantees: Make sure you get all guarantees in writing, and that you understand what’s covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your painting contractor to go over paint selections in detail, covering the benefits and downsides of each. This will help you decide on the best option for your project. Some paints have better weather resistance or use more eco-friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: Ensure the company you hire has the licensing required in Winfield and in the state of Illinois. All painters should be properly bonded and insured, especially 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, consider looking for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Ask family, friends, and neighbors 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.
