How To Choose a Painter in Leander
- Cost: Get estimates from a few contractors before deciding. Be cautious if one contractor gives substantially lower estimates than others.
- Guarantees: Be certain you get all guarantees in writing, and that you understand what’s covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your paint pro 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: Verify the company you hire has the licensing required in Leander and in the state of Texas. Make sure your painter is properly bonded and insured. This is especially important if they’re 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, consider looking for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Ask friends and neighbors for references, and look up each contractor you’re considering on the Better Business Bureau (BBB). You can also check ratings on review sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
