How To Choose a Painter in Casper
When looking to hire a residential painting contractor, consider these key factors.
- Cost: Ask for estimates from at least three contractors. Use caution if one provider's estimates are significantly lower than others.
- Guarantees: Get all guarantees in writing and ensure you understand which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Have your painting pro walk you through paint options and related pros and cons to ensure you choose the best type for your project. Some paints, for example, resist weather damage better than others or are more eco-friendly.
- Qualifications: Ensure your painter is properly licensed to work in Casper and in the state of Wyoming. All painters should be properly bonded and insured. This is especially important if they’re working with power equipment or on ladders. If your home was built before 1978, and you're worried about the possible presence of lead, you might look for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Ask friends, family, and neighbors for references, and look up each provider you’re considering on the Better Business Bureau (BBB). You can also browse review sites such as Trustpilot or Google Reviews.
How Much Does Painting Cost in Casper?
How much you'll pay to paint your house varies depending on its square footage, the type of paint, and scheduling. Paint companies commonly charge higher prices between June and August. The typical cost of both interior and exterior painting averages $0.60 to $2.41 per square foot. Since most homes have greater interior than exterior space, painting the interior is generally more expensive than painting the exterior. For a 2,000-square-foot home in Casper, you can expect to pay around $3,017 to paint the exterior and $1,207 to $4,828 to paint the interior. Alternatively, painters in Casper may charge you an hourly rate between $9.95 and $16.58. Bundling services will usually reduce costs. It usually costs less in total to schedule exterior and interior painting together rather than as separate services.
