Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find a good painting contractor in Texas?
Look for contractors with verifiable Texas liability insurance, a physical business address, and at least three years of experience. Ask for references from similar completed projects and check online reviews on Google and the Better Business Bureau. Get at least three written estimates that detail scope, materials, and timeline. TX24H pre-screens painting contractors to help you find qualified professionals quickly.
Do painting contractors in Texas need a license?
Texas does not require a state painter's license, but contractors need a general business license and liability insurance. Some Texas cities require contractor registration. Reputable painting contractors carry general liability insurance of at least $1 million and workers' compensation coverage. Always ask for proof of insurance before hiring. TX24H verifies insurance and business credentials for all contractors on the platform.
How much should I pay a painting contractor upfront?
Never pay more than 10 to 20 percent upfront for a painting project in Texas. Reputable contractors may request a small deposit to secure scheduling and purchase materials. The remainder should be paid upon satisfactory completion. Be cautious of contractors demanding 50 percent or more upfront. A detailed written contract should outline payment milestones tied to work completion, not arbitrary dates.
What should a painting estimate include?
A professional painting estimate should detail the exact scope of work including which surfaces are painted, how many coats, specific paint brand and product, paint finish type, surface preparation steps, timeline, and total price. It should also state what is NOT included to avoid surprises. Labor and material costs may be itemized separately. The estimate should be in writing and signed by both parties before work begins.
How many painting quotes should I get?
Get at least three quotes from different painting contractors for any project over $1,000. Comparing three quotes gives you a realistic market price range and helps identify outliers. The cheapest bid is not always the best value since low bids may indicate cutting corners on prep or using inferior paint. Look for the contractor who best balances price, quality, timeline, and communication during the estimate process.
What questions should I ask a painting contractor?
Ask about their experience with your specific type of project, what paint brands they use, how many coats are included, what surface preparation they perform, whether they carry liability and workers comp insurance, how they protect furniture and landscaping, their timeline, and their warranty. Also ask if they use subcontractors or employees. A professional contractor will answer all questions confidently and provide references.
