How To Choose a Painter in Pearland
- Cost: Ask for estimates from at least three companies. Be wary of any company that offers a substantially cheaper rate than competitors.
- Guarantees: Be certain you get all guarantees in writing, and that you understand the scope and duration of coverage.
- Paint types: Your painter can guide you through the different paint options and their pros and cons to help you pick the best type for your needs. Certain paint types, for instance, withstand weather damage more effectively or are more eco-friendly.
- Qualifications: Verify the company you hire has the licensing required in Pearland 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 worried about the possible presence of lead, you might look 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 painter you’re considering on the Better Business Bureau (BBB). You can also browse review sites such as Trustpilot or Google Reviews.
