How To Choose a Painter in Roswell
- Cost: Get estimates from several contractors before deciding. Be wary if one company gives substantially lower estimates than others.
- Guarantees: Ensure that you get all guarantees in writing, and that you understand the scope and duration of coverage.
- Paint types: Have your painting pro walk you through paint options and related pros and cons to ensure you choose the best type for your project. Some paints, for example, are more eco-conscious or better at withstanding weather damage.
- Qualifications: Confirm the company you hire has the licensing required in Roswell 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 prior to 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: Ask family and friends for references, or use the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to review companies you’re considering. You can also read customer reviews on sites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
