How To Choose a Painter in Georgetown
- Cost: Get estimates from a few contractors before deciding. Be cautious if one company offers substantially lower rates than the rest.
- Guarantees: Ask for guarantees in writing and ensure you know which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Your painting company can guide you through the different paint options and their benefits and downsides to help you choose the best one for your needs. Certain paints, for instance, withstand weather damage more effectively or are more eco-friendly.
- Qualifications: Make sure the company you hire has the licensing required in Georgetown and in the state of Kentucky. Make sure your painter is 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 worried about the possible presence of lead, you might look 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 browse customer reviews on sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
