How To Choose a Painter in Grants Pass
When looking to hire a residential painting company, consider these key factors.
- Cost: Talk to a few companies to get price estimates. Watch out for exceptionally cheap prices compared to the average.
- Guarantees: Request guarantees in writing and ensure you know which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your painting contractor to explain paint selections in detail, covering the positives and negatives of each. This will help you select the best option for your project. Some paints have better weather resistance or use more environmentally friendly formulas.
- 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 with power equipment or on ladders. If your home was built before 1978, and you're concerned about the 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: Request references from family, friends, and neighbors, and look at the Better Business Bureau (BBB) profiles of painters you’re considering. You can also check reviews on sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
How Much Does Painting Cost in Grants Pass?
The cost of professional painting work is influenced by the dimensions of your home, the paint brands chosen, and the time of year. Most painters increase their rates during the summer due to increased demand. The typical cost of both interior and exterior painting ranges from $0.78 to $3.11 per square foot. Since most homes have more inside than outside space, painting the interior tends to cost more than painting the exterior. For a 2,000-square-foot home in Grants Pass, expect to pay around $3,887 to paint the exterior and $1,555 to $6,218 to paint the interior. Alternatively, local Grants Pass painters may charge between $15.65 and $26.08 per hour. Hourly prices may save you money, especially if you're bundling services. For example, if you get both your home’s interior and exterior painted at once, you’ll pay less overall than you would if you’d scheduled the projects separately.
