Exterior home painters why you need a licensed contractor for the job: Los Angeles, CA
Ever wonder what it takes to paint the exterior of your house? if you are like most people, you searched through Google for something like "Best Painters in Los Angeles" and start calling nearby contractors for an estimate.
it's not common to get up to 7 estimates before determining which home painters to hire in Los Angeles, CA. Most of the time you choose the cheapest contractor and then worry about if the job was done right, or deal with any imperfections that are present since you hired the cheapest contractor.
Since we work with so many different contractors, we have discovered some of the common elements that go into finding a good painter for your home. Here are our top 4 tips on hiring the best painters in Los Angeles, CA.
Tip One: Hire Home Painters with over 5 years of experience
During the hiring process, many homeowners take extra long to hire the right contractor and those that take time into hiring, usually hire the most competent contractor in Los Angeles. Some people go through 7 or 8 interviews before selecting a contractor. Contractors with less than 5 years of experience tend to make common mistakes like bad prep work, uneven paint, and some contractors do a single coat instead of going over the paint multiple times.
The best tip is to check the contractor’s state license board by doing a lookup of their license. If they were in the industry for over 5 years, then chances are they know what they are doing.
Our licensed general contractor in Los Angeles, CA provide free quotes and tries to provide more than what were contracted to please our clients. Our painters spend a few hours to make sure the final results are exceptional.
Tip Two: Check Your Paint Contractors Reputation Online
Finding a responsible licensed contractor is no easy task for most homeowners. There are tons of options, and with more options, it becomes harder to select the best contractor in the bunch. Home painters must be licensed with CSLB and must have a good reputation online for us to hire as a sub-contractor depending on how busy our crews are.
When we do our reputation check, we cross-reference painters with reviews on Google Maps, CSLB, and Yelp. We recommend our clients to triple check reputation and really read the reviews to understand what to expect.

Tip Three: Go To Your Local Hardware store to Select Paint Color
Choosing the right colors for your home's exterior is as important as selecting your licensed painters. In Los Angeles, CA we recommend neutral colors depending on your neighborhood, community, and requirements. Most homeowners that live in an HOA community have certain restrictions that need to be met. Other homeowners can choose outlandish colors like hot pink, royal blue or even yellow. The color selection can help add curb appeal or take away curb appeal depending on the color you select. Get inspired by nature if you are not living in an HOA community and paint the color of your dreams. If you plan on selling your home soon, choose a more neutral color to appeal to more people.
Tip Four: Ask For Discount On Exterior Paint
So many homeowners just agree upon a price that a contractor may or may not have thought completely through. If you hate pressured sales tactics, we recommend inviting a friend to help you make better-informed decisions. Some homeowners call a friend that is handy and can sort of guestimate costs. When a contractor comes up with a price, it’s fairly negotiable. If you don’t believe us, tell your painting contractor that you will not pay a penny more than X. See what he says. Every price is negotiable so ask for your discount.
