How To Choose a Painter in Georgetown
- Cost: Get estimates from several companies before deciding. Be wary if one contractor offers substantially lower rates than others.
- Guarantees: Ask for guarantees in writing and ensure you understand which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your painter to go over various paint choices, including the benefits and drawbacks of each, to help you make an informed decision. Some options are designed for specific needs, such as weather-resistant or eco-friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: Make sure your painter is properly licensed in Georgetown and in the state of Texas. 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 worried about the possible 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: Get friends and neighbors to provide references, or use the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to review painters you’re considering. You can also find customer reviews on sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
