When you’re looking for an exterior house painter to work on your Westchester home, the most important thing you can do is ask questions. You should contact several painters and ask them similar questions so you can compare their answers. This gives you the information needed to choose the best exterior painter for your needs.
The 5 Best Questions to Ask Your Westchester Exterior House Painter
Are you licensed, certified, and insured?
Never work with a painter who can’t produce some evidence they’re licensed to work. A good home renovation contractor will always be able to produce this.
In addition, they must be insured against both damage and injury. This protects you! If they are uninsured, you would likely end up responsible for any damage or harm done, even if the accident was their fault.
Can I see a portfolio of your work?
Honestly, a great home painter should have an online portfolio that you can peruse. However, if they don’t, be sure to ask for examples of their past work in person. Any decent contractor should have plenty of pictures to prove that they know what they’re doing.
Do you have any testimonials?
Just like with a portfolio, any decent exterior house painter will be able to produce testimonials from past customers – either written or in video form. If they can’t, they aren’t worth your time.
What warranties do you offer?
A good home painting service should BOTH honor any manufacturer’s warranties on the paint, as well as offering some kind of guarantee on their own workmanship. This can be a good tiebreaker when deciding between multiple painters. Whoever offers the strongest guarantee is the most confident in their own ability.
What will the final price be?
You should always get multiple bids from multiple companies, even for a very basic job. This helps ensure you’re getting a fair price. In addition, competing bids can sometimes be used as leverage to help you haggle over pricing. Also, the more detailed the estimate is, the more likely they’re being honest about their pricing.
