How To Choose a Painter in Coppell
When selecting a house painting service, consider these key factors.
- Cost: Request quotes from at least three contractors. Use caution if one provider's estimates are much lower than the rest.
- Guarantees: Ensure that you get all guarantees in writing and that you understand the scope and duration of coverage.
- Paint types: Have your painter walk you through paint options and related pros and cons to ensure you choose the right kind for your project. Some paints, for example, are more eco-conscious or better at withstanding weather damage.
- Qualifications: Verify your painter is properly licensed to work in Coppell and in the state of Texas. Make sure your painter is properly bonded and insured, especially if they’re working on a ladder or using power equipment. 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 licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Request references from family, friends, and neighbors, and look at the Better Business Bureau (BBB) pages of companies you’re considering. You can also find ratings on sites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
