How To Choose a Painter in Levittown
- Cost: Talk to a few painters to get price estimates. Be wary of exceptionally cheap prices compared to the average.
- Guarantees: Get a written copy of any guarantees and ensure you confirm how long they last and what they cover.
- Paint types: Ask your painting contractor to walk through paint selections in detail, including the benefits and downsides of each. This will help you decide on the best option for your project. Some paints have better weather resistance or use more environmentally friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: Confirm the company you hire has the licensing required in Levittown and in the state of New York. Make sure your painter is properly bonded and insured, especially 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 contractor you’re considering on the Better Business Bureau (BBB). You can also check ratings on review sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
