How To Choose a Painter in Pharr
- Cost: Get price quotes from at least three providers. Be cautious of any contractor that quotes a substantially lower price than the average.
- Guarantees: Be certain you get all guarantees in writing, and that you understand what’s covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your painter to go over different paint options, including the benefits and drawbacks of each, to help you make an informed decision. Some options cater to specific needs, such as weather-resistant or eco-friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: Make sure your painter is properly licensed in Pharr and in the state of Texas. All painters should be properly bonded and insured. This is especially important if they’re working on a ladder or using power equipment. If your home was built before 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: Request references from family, friends, and neighbors, and review the Better Business Bureau (BBB) profiles of painters you’re considering. You can also find ratings on sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
