How To Choose a Painter in Las Vegas
- Cost: Request price estimates from at least three painters. Be cautious of any contractor that offers a substantially cheaper rate than competitors.
- Guarantees: Be certain you get all guarantees in writing, and that you understand what’s covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your painter to explain various paint options, including the positives and negatives of each, so you can make an informed decision. Some options cater to specific needs, such as weather-resistant or eco-friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: Painters in Nevada must hold a classification C-4 license from the Nevada State Contractors Board. Companies with employees must submit proof of insurance, but it's important that you verify that any contractor working on your home is properly bonded and insured. This is especially important if they'll be 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 may want to look for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Get references from family and friends, and review the Better Business Bureau (BBB) pages of providers you’re considering. You can also find reviews on sites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
