How to Choose a House Painter You Can Trust

Hiring a painter is about more than the lowest price. A little homework up front saves you from headaches later. Here is what to look for.

Check that they are licensed and insured

In New Jersey, home improvement contractors should be registered and carry insurance. Ask for the license number and proof of insurance. It protects you if anything goes wrong.

Look at real reviews and past work

Read reviews and ask to see photos of finished projects. Consistent, positive feedback and clean, detailed work are good signs.

Get a clear, written quote

A good painter explains exactly what is included, from prep to paint to cleanup. If a quote is vague or the price seems too good to be true, that is a red flag.

Ask about prep and warranty

• How do they prep the surfaces?
• What paint do they use?
• Do they stand behind their work with a warranty?
