How To Choose a Painter in Redmond
As you evaluate painting contractors, consider these key factors.
- Cost: Request quotes from several contractors before deciding. Be wary if one company gives substantially lower estimates than the rest.
- Guarantees: Make sure you get all guarantees in writing, and that you understand what’s covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your painter to explain different paint options, including the pros and cons of each, so you can make an informed decision. Some options are designed for specific needs, such as weather-resistant or eco-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 on a ladder or using power equipment. 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 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, or use the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to review companies you’re considering. You can also browse customer reviews on sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
How Much Does Painting Cost in Redmond?
Home painting costs fluctuate depending on project size, your paint selections, and seasonal demand changes, with the busy summer months being the most expensive. Interior and exterior painting jobs both run, on average, between $0.78 and $3.11 per square foot. Most homes have more interior surface area than exterior, which means the cost to paint inside will be greater than the cost to paint the exterior. The average cost of painting a 2,000-square-foot home in Redmond is $3,887 for exterior work and $1,555 to $6,218 for interior work. Some painters in Redmond may offer alternative rates from $15.65 to $26.08 per hour. Bundling interior and exterior painting services together may mean paying less overall than you would if you split them into separate projects.
