How To Choose a Painter in Oklahoma City
- Cost: Get price ranges 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 how long they last and what they cover.
- Paint types: Your painting company can guide you through the different paint options and their advantages and disadvantages to help you determine the best option for your needs. Certain paint types, for instance, resist weather damage more effectively or are more eco-friendly.
- Qualifications: Ensure your painter is properly licensed to work in Oklahoma City and in the state of Oklahoma. All painters should be properly bonded and insured, especially if they’re 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 Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality.
- Reputation and reviews: Get friends and neighbors to provide references, or use the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to review companies you’re considering. You can also read customer feedback on sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
