Hiring a Painting and Decorating Contractor

Painting projects on older homes may involve lead paint. California requires contractors working on pre-1978 homes to be EPA RRP certified. Ask about surface preparation methods, number of coats, and paint warranty.

California law requires a contractor license for this type of work on projects valued at $500 or more (combined labor and materials). Hiring an unlicensed contractor for work requiring a license may void your consumer protections.
