How To Choose a Painter in Keizer
Below are some factors to consider when deciding which painting professional to hire:
- Cost: Talk to a few companies to get price estimates. Be wary of exceptionally cheap prices compared to the average.
- Guarantees: Get a hard copy of your painter's guarantees and ensure you understand how long they last and what they cover.
- Paint types: Have your painting pro walk you through paint options and related advantages and disadvantages to ensure you select the best type for your project. Some paints, for example, are more eco-conscious 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, particularly 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 might 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: Get references from friends and neighbors, and look at the Better Business Bureau (BBB) profiles of painters you’re considering. You can also find reviews on sites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
How Much Does Painting Cost in Keizer?
The cost of professional painting work depends on the dimensions of your home, the paint categories chosen, and the time of year. Most painters increase their rates during the summer in response to increased demand. The typical cost of both interior and exterior painting ranges from $0.75 to $2.99 per square foot. Since most homes have greater interior than exterior space, painting the interior tends to cost more than painting the exterior. For a 2,000-square-foot home in Keizer, you can expect to pay around $3,732 to paint the exterior and $1,493 to $5,971 to paint the interior. Alternatively, painters in Keizer may charge anywhere from $14.64 to $24.39 per hour. Hourly rates 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.
