Services Offered by Professional Painters
Most professional painting contractors provide both interior and exterior painting, as well as other services.
Interior Painting
Interior painting companies have the expertise to help you choose interior paints, textures, and finishes of paint and can answer questions about the upkeep requirements of your selections. This helps you find the right paint for your space. As part of the project, your provider will prep and paint windows, trim, moldings, cabinets, and door frames. Some (for an additional fee) will strip wallpaper or textured surfaces prior to painting.Exterior Painting

Contractors that have the right training and experience can also complete additional work, such as the following:- Concrete staining
- Crown molding installation and repair
- Drywall and plaster repair
- Popcorn ceiling removal

How To Choose a Painter in Logan
- Cost: Contact a few painters to get price estimates. Be wary of exceptionally cheap prices compared to the average.
- Guarantees: Make sure you get all guarantees in writing and that you understand the scope and duration of coverage.
- Paint types: Have your contractor walk you through paint options and related pros and cons to ensure you select the right kind for your project. Some paints, for example, are more eco-conscious or better at withstanding weather damage.
- 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 with power equipment or on ladders. If your home was built before 1978, and you're concerned about the presence of lead, you might look for a contractor who is certified by the Department of Environmental Quality Lead-Based Paint Program.
- Reputation and reviews: Get references from friends and neighbors, or review the Better Business Bureau (BBB) pages of local painting companies. You can also find customer ratings on websites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
