Read on to learn more, or get in touch with LVS Custom Painters today!
What You Need to Know Before You Hire an Interior Painter
1. Make sure the painter is licensed and insured.
As a homeowner, it’s important to make sure your interior painter has the proper licensure and is insured. This will protect you in the event there’s any damage to your home or property during painting — all too common with shady contractors. In addition, a licensed interior painter has the experience and tools to get the job done right, which makes it crucial you work with trusted painters like LVS Custom Painters.
2. Get multiple bids and references.
Sometimes you don’t mind not paying the lowest price at the grocery store if you’re in a hurry. Avocados are one thing, but when you’re looking at an interior painting project, that’s a whole different story. We recommend getting multiple bids and references before hiring an interior painter. This will ensure you pay the lowest possible price and get the highest quality service!
3. Be clear about your expectations.
Be clear about the scope of the interior painting project — both with yourself and with the painter. Decide what needs to be done, and in what areas. We also recommend setting a budget and a timeline, which will ensure you save money and that your interior painter knows when they need to complete their work.
4. Have a detailed contract
It’s important to have a detailed contract with any service, but especially with interior painting. A detailed contract will put you and your interior painter on the same page about a number of things:
The scope of the work
The precise amount to be paid upon completion
When the work will be completed
Contracts may seem tedious but they’re almost as important as hiring a great interior painter, like LVS Custom Painters. They can prevent financial disputes down the line, as well as account for any potential damages to your property during the painting process!
Interior painting isn’t a service to take lightly! Unlike landscaping, you can’t really shut the curtains on a botched interior painting job. When you need the job done right, with integrity, experience, and for the best price available, give LVS Custom Painters a call.
