How To Choose a Painter in Paradise
- 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.
