Whether you're hiring painters for renovation purposes or for a quick, one-time job, here are four ways you can identify a qualified professional:

1. Better Business Bureau: A good rating from the Better Business Bureau is the ultimate stamp of approval, as the organization has a strict set of standards for companies to abide by.
2. Are they EPA lead certified? If a company is EPA lead certified, then you know they are abiding by the EPA's Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP Rule). This rule mandates that workers follow lead-safe work practices, and having someone EPA certified working on your project means they been trained by the EPA.
3. Portfolio: Always ask to see a painter's portfolio, so you can see their work. Keep an eye out to see if the painter has experience with the style of work you want done. Also, know that a diverse portfolio means the professional has the skill set to deliver on a wide array of jobs.
4. References: A portfolio is impressive, but a strong list of references is the only way to verify you are signing up for the real deal. Ask for references, and see what other customers have to say. This is your chance to ask any questions about doubts you may be having, and to hear answers from people who can speak to the business' service.
