Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose a painting contractor?

Choose a painting contractor by verifying their Washington State contractor license, checking for general liability insurance, reading recent customer reviews, and requesting a detailed written estimate. Ask about their surface prep process, the brands of paint they use, and whether the bid includes primer and two finish coats. Hedlund Painting is a licensed, bonded, and insured painting company based in Lynnwood, WA with over 15 years of experience.

Are house painters required to be licensed in Washington State?

Yes, Washington State requires all painting contractors to hold an active contractor license registered with the Department of Labor and Industries (L&I). Licensed contractors must also carry a surety bond and liability insurance to protect homeowners. Hedlund Painting maintains a current WA contractor license and full insurance coverage for every project.

What questions should I ask a painter before hiring them?

Ask about their license and insurance status, how they handle surface preparation, what paint brands and sheens they recommend, and whether their estimate includes all labor and materials. Also ask how they protect floors, trim, and furnishings during the job, and what their policy is on touch-ups or warranty work. Hedlund Painting welcomes these questions and provides clear, written answers before any project begins.

Do painters need to be lead-certified?

Yes, any contractor disturbing paint in homes built before 1978 must be EPA Lead-Safe Certified under the federal RRP Rule. Working without certification can expose your family to hazardous lead dust and result in heavy fines for the contractor. Hedlund Painting is lead-certified and follows all EPA protocols when working on older homes in the Seattle metro area.

How do I know if a painting company is insured?

Ask the painting company for a certificate of insurance (COI) showing current general liability and workers' compensation coverage, and verify it directly with the insurance provider. A properly insured contractor protects you from liability if a worker is injured or your property is damaged during the project. Hedlund Painting carries full insurance and provides proof of coverage to any homeowner who requests it.

How long has Hedlund Painting been in business?

Hedlund Painting has been serving the greater Seattle metro area since 2009, completing residential and commercial painting projects across King and Snohomish County. The company is based in Lynnwood, WA and specializes in interior painting, exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, and deck staining. Call (206) 250-9193 to schedule a free estimate.

Do professional painters offer warranties on their work?

Reputable painting companies typically offer a workmanship warranty covering peeling, blistering, or flaking caused by improper application, separate from the paint manufacturer's product warranty. Warranty terms vary, so ask for the details in writing before signing a contract. Hedlund Painting stands behind every project and addresses warranty concerns promptly for customers throughout the Seattle area.

Should I hire a painting company or a handyman to paint my house?

Hiring a dedicated painting company is the better choice for whole-room, whole-house, or exterior projects because professional painters have the equipment, training, and crew size to deliver consistent results efficiently. A handyman may be fine for small touch-ups, but larger jobs benefit from proper surface prep, spray equipment, and experienced application techniques. Hedlund Painting handles projects of all sizes for homeowners across Lynnwood, Edmonds, Bellevue, and the greater Seattle metro.
