How To Choose a Painter in Springville
- Cost: Request quotes from at least three contractors. Use caution if one installer's rates are much lower than the rest.
- Guarantees: Get a written copy of any guarantees and ensure you understand what they cover and how long they last.
- Paint types: Have your contractor walk you through paint options and related benefits and drawbacks to ensure you select the right type 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 on a ladder or using power equipment. If your home was built prior to 1978, and you're worried about the possible presence of lead, consider looking for a contractor who is certified by the Department of Environmental Quality Lead-Based Paint Program.
- Reputation and reviews: Obtain references from family, friends, and neighbors, or check out the Better Business Bureau (BBB) pages of local painting companies. You can also find customer reviews on websites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
