How To Choose a Painter in Bend
As you evaluate residential painting companies, consider these key factors.
- Cost: Ask for estimates from at least three companies. Use caution if one company's prices are much lower than others.
- Guarantees: Make sure you get all guarantees in writing and that you know the duration and scope of coverage.
- Paint types: Have your painting pro walk you through paint options and related advantages and disadvantages to ensure you choose the right kind for your project. Some paints, for example, are more eco-friendly or better at withstanding weather damage.
- Qualifications: Painters in Oregon must be licensed by the Oregon Construction Contractors Board. To obtain a license, a contractor must pass a knowledge exam and provide proof of insurance. We recommend always asking for proof of insurance yourself, especially if contractors will be 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 trained and certified to work with lead-based paint under Oregon’s Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule.
- Reputation and reviews: Ask family and friends for references, and look up each provider you’re considering on the Better Business Bureau (BBB). You can also check ratings on review sites such as Trustpilot or Google Reviews.
How Much Does Painting Cost in Bend?
How much you'll pay to paint your house depends on its size, the kind of paint, and the timing. Paint companies frequently charge higher prices during the summer. In Bend, painting projects for both interiors and exteriors usually run $0.78 to $3.11 per square foot. Most homes have more interior square footage, which results in higher paint costs than when painting the exterior. To paint a 2,000-square-foot house’s exterior costs approximately $3,887, while the interior will run about $1,555 to $6,218. Alternatively, painters in Bend may charge anywhere from $15.65 to $26.08 per hour. Hourly prices may save you money if you choose to bundle services. For example, if you get both your home’s exterior and interior painted at once, you’ll pay less overall than you would if you’d scheduled them separately.
