How To Choose a Painter in Nashua
- Cost: Ask for estimates from at least three providers. Be wary of any contractor that quotes a substantially cheaper rate than the average.
- Guarantees: Ensure that you get a written contract outlining any guarantees and that you understand the duration and scope of coverage.
- Paint types: Ask your painter to go over paint selections in detail, covering the positives and negatives of each. This will help you decide on the best option for your project. Some paints have better weather resistance or use more eco-friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: Confirm the company you hire has the licensing required in Nashua and in the state of New Hampshire. 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, you might look for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Ask family and friends for references, and look up each painter you’re considering on the Better Business Bureau (BBB). You can also browse review sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
