How To Choose a Painter in Roy
When selecting a house painting company, keep these key points in mind.
- Cost: Talk to a few painters to get price estimates. Watch out for unusually cheap prices compared to the average.
- Guarantees: Ask for guarantees in writing and ensure you know which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Your painter can guide you through the different paint selections and their benefits and downsides to help you choose the best option for your needs. Certain paints, for instance, protect against weather damage more effectively or are better for the environment.
- 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 particularly important if they'll be working on a ladder or using power equipment. 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 family, friends, and neighbors, and check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) profiles of providers you’re considering. You can also find ratings on sites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
