How To Choose a Painter in Bountiful
Below are some factors to consider when choosing which painting professional to hire:
- Cost: Talk to a few painters to get price estimates. Watch out for unusually cheap prices compared to the average.
- Guarantees: Get any guarantees in writing and ensure you confirm what they cover and how long they last.
- Paint types: Have your painter walk you through paint options and related pros and cons to ensure you select the right kind for your project. Some paints, for example, resist weather damage better than others or are more eco-friendly.
- Qualifications: Painters must have a contractor license from the Utah Division of Professional Licensing. Companies with employees must provide proof of insurance, but you should always ask to see proof of bonding and insurance from any contractor who works on your home. This is especially important if they'll be 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 may want to look for a contractor who is certified by the Department of Environmental Quality Lead-Based Paint Program.
- Reputation and reviews: Get references from family and friends, or check out the Better Business Bureau (BBB) listings of local painters. You can also read customer ratings on websites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
How Much Does Painting Cost in Bountiful?
What you'll pay to paint your house is influenced by its size, the kind of paint, and scheduling. Paint companies commonly charge higher prices between June and August. The typical cost of both interior and exterior home painting in Bountiful is $0.77 to $3.08 per square foot. Most homes have greater interior space than exterior space, which leads to higher indoor painting costs compared to exterior painting costs. For a 2,000-square-foot home, anticipate paying about $3,855 to paint the exterior, and anywhere from $1,542 to $6,168 to paint the interior. Alternatively, local Bountiful painters may charge anywhere from $15.44 to $25.74 per hour. Hourly rates may save you money if you choose to bundle services. For example, you'll pay less to have your home's interior and exterior painted together than you would if you’d scheduled the projects separately.
