How To Choose a Painter in Anderson
- Cost: Request quotes from at least three painters. Use caution if one provider's estimates are significantly lower than the rest.
- Guarantees: Get all guarantees in writing and ensure you know which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your painting contractor to explain 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 environmentally friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: Verify your painter is properly licensed in Anderson and in the state of Indiana. All painters should be properly bonded and insured. This is especially important if they’re working with power equipment or on ladders. If your home was built prior to 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: Get references from friends and neighbors, or check out the Better Business Bureau (BBB) pages of local painters. You can also browse customer reviews on websites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
