    Absolutely great! Miguel not only painted the whole basement, he removed the low ceiling and painted the ceiling black, giving the basement a very cool industrial look. He also replaced doors and repaired the basement walls. Great quality of work and customer service. Highly recommended!

Things to think about when looking for an exterior house painting contractor

Completing some prep work before working with a contractor might minimize the risk of challenges during the project. Walk through the steps below to learn more about exterior paint businesses before you receive a quote:

  • Look at reviews. Read as many reviews as you can to discover the work history the professional has. Be aware of patterns. One single bad review amid plenty of great ones isn’t necessarily a sign that an exterior home painting contractor can’t do excellent work for you. However, a trend of concerning reviews complaining about customer service or poor quality of the final results of the job should be considered a sign to proceed with caution, if at all.
  • Look at contractor websites, if you can. Browse the painting contractor’s website if they have one. Look for images of completed painting projects, information about the type of painting work handled, and details of any guarantees.
  • Request a consultation. Don’t accept an estimate created by a contractor who didn’t physically view your house. In addition, during an in-person meeting, a skilled exterior house contractor may offer recommendations regarding hue and product choices to support the most satisfactory final results possible.
  • Request references. Speak to the painting professional’s former clients if they’re willing to share with you. See if they will discuss their happiness with the work done for them and what they feel about the customer service.
  • Get information about insurance and any licenses required. Try not to get services from a contractor who can’t prove insurance coverage. Painting services in your state may not have to have a license. Double check with your state to understand the licensing requirements, if any, and then hire with contractors who are compliant with the rules for licenses.

Will handling painting yourself help you save cash?

When you take on painting your home’s exterior yourself, then you are on the hook for just the paint and supplies. DIY painting, on average, can run around $1,000. That cost goes up if you have to rent or buy scaffolding or additional equipment.

You must also account for the time spent painting. If you miss work to take on the job, you might lose cash, negating the savings. Additionally, if you don’t have experience painting, you might not like the result.

Prior to buying supplies and get to work on the outside of your home yourself, talk with some professional exterior home painting businesses in Chicago. Request an in-person consult, and get a written estimate for painting services. You may be delighted by how affordable quality house painting help can be.
