Services Offered by Professional Painters
Most professional painters provide both interior and exterior painting, as well as additional services.
Interior Painting
Interior painting companies have the skills and training to help you choose interior paints, textures, and finishes and can explain the maintenance needs of your selections. This helps you find the best paint for your space. As part of the project, your provider will prep and paint door frames, trim, cabinets, moldings, and windows. Some (for an additional fee) will remove wallpaper or textured surfaces prior to painting.Exterior Painting

How To Choose a Painter in West Jordan
- Cost: Get price quotes from at least three companies. Be wary of any contractor that offers a substantially lower price than competitors.
- Guarantees: Ensure that you get a written contract outlining any guarantees and that you know the duration and scope of coverage.
- Paint types: Have your painter walk you through paint options and related benefits and drawbacks to ensure you choose the right kind for your project. Some paints, for example, are more eco-friendly 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 particularly important if they'll be working with power equipment or on ladders. If your home was built prior to 1978, and you're concerned about the 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, and review the Better Business Bureau (BBB) pages of painters you’re considering. You can also check reviews on sites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
