How To Choose a Painter in Paradise
Below are some factors to consider when selecting which residential painting company to hire:
- Cost: Contact a few companies to get price estimates. Be wary of unusually cheap prices compared to the average.
- Guarantees: Ask for guarantees in writing and ensure you know which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your painting contractor to explain various paint choices, including the benefits and drawbacks of each, to help you make an informed decision. Some options cater to specific priorities, 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 prior to 1978, and you're worried about the possible presence of lead, consider looking for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Obtain references from family and friends, or check out the Better Business Bureau (BBB) pages of local painters. You can also read customer reviews on websites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
How Much Does Painting Cost in Paradise?
The cost of professional painting work is influenced by the size of your home, the paint brands chosen, and the time of year. Most painters increase their rates during the summer due to increased demand. The typical cost of both interior and exterior painting ranges from $0.86 to $3.45 per square foot. Since most homes have more inside than outside space, painting the interior tends to cost more than painting the exterior. For a 2,000-square-foot home in Paradise, expect to pay around $4,315 to paint the exterior and $1,726 to $6,905 to paint the interior. Some painters in Paradise may offer alternative rates from $18.46 to $30.77 per hour. Getting exterior and interior painting bundled together may mean lower overall costs than if you'd split them into separate projects.
