How To Choose a Painter in Spring
Below is what you should consider while selecting which residential painter to hire:
- Cost: Get price quotes from at least three providers. Be wary of any company that offers a substantially cheaper rate than others.
- Guarantees: Get any guarantees in writing and ensure you confirm how long they last and what they cover.
- Paint types: Your painting company can walk you through the different paint choices and their advantages and disadvantages to help you determine the best option for your needs. Certain paint types, for instance, protect against weather damage more effectively or are better for the environment.
- Qualifications: Ensure your painter is properly licensed in Spring 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 before 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: Ask for references from friends and neighbors, and look at the Better Business Bureau (BBB) pages of providers you’re considering. You can also check reviews on sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
