How To Choose a Painter in Broken Arrow
- Cost: Ask for estimates from at least three painters. Be wary of any company that offers a substantially lower price than others.
- Guarantees: Ask for guarantees in writing and ensure you understand which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Your painting company can guide you through the different paint options and their pros and cons to help you determine the best option for your needs. Certain paint types, for instance, resist weather damage more effectively or are more eco-friendly.
- Qualifications: Verify your painter is properly licensed in Broken Arrow and in the state of Oklahoma. 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 worried about the possible presence of lead, you may want to look for a contractor who is certified by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality.
- Reputation and reviews: Get friends and neighbors to provide references, or use the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to review providers you’re considering. You can also browse customer feedback on sites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
