How To Choose a Painter in Haverstraw
When selecting a residential painting company, consider these key factors.
- Cost: Contact a few painters to get price estimates. Be wary of unusually cheap prices compared to the average.
- Guarantees: Get any guarantees in writing and ensure you understand what they cover and how long they last.
- Paint types: Have your painter walk you through paint options and related advantages and disadvantages to ensure you select the right type for your project. Some paints, for example, are more eco-conscious or better at withstanding weather damage.
- Qualifications: Confirm your painter is properly licensed in Haverstraw and in the state of New York. All painters should be properly bonded and insured, especially if they’re working on a ladder or using power equipment. If your home was built before 1978, and you're concerned about the 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 review the Better Business Bureau (BBB) pages of local painting companies. You can also browse customer ratings on websites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
