How To Choose a Painter in Rio Rancho
- Cost: Contact a few painters to get price estimates. Watch out for unusually cheap prices compared to the average.
- Guarantees: Get a written copy of any guarantees and ensure you understand what they cover and how long they last.
- Paint types: Your painting pro can walk you through the different paint choices and their pros and cons to help you choose the best type for your needs. Certain paints, for instance, protect against weather damage more effectively or are more eco-friendly.
- Qualifications: Make sure the company you hire has the licensing required in Rio Rancho and in the state of New Mexico. 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 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: Obtain references from family and friends, or check out the Better Business Bureau (BBB) pages of local painting companies. You can also browse customer reviews on websites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
