How To Choose a Painter in Coventry
- Cost: Get price quotes from at least three providers. Be wary of any company that offers a substantially cheaper rate than the average.
- Guarantees: Ask for guarantees in writing and ensure you understand which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your painting contractor to go over various paint options, including the pros and cons of each, to help you make an informed decision. Some options are designed for specific priorities, such as weather-resistant or eco-friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: Make sure your painter is properly licensed to work in Coventry and in the state of Rhode Island. Make sure your painter is properly bonded and insured. This is especially important if they’re working with power equipment or on ladders. If your home was built prior to 1978, and you're concerned about the presence of lead, you might look for a licensed Lead Renovation Firm.
- Reputation and reviews: Ask friends, family, and neighbors for references, and look up each painter you’re considering on the Better Business Bureau (BBB). You can also check ratings on review sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
