Start with license and insurance
This is the step most homeowners skip, and it is the one that protects you most.
A legitimate contractor expects these questions and answers them without hesitation.
Compare quotes on scope, not just price
Three quotes only help if they describe the same work. Before comparing numbers, make sure each quote spells out:
If one quote is far lower, find out what it leaves out. Our house painting cost guide shows the typical ranges so you can spot a number that is too good to be true.
Green flags vs red flags
| Green flags | Red flags |
|---|---|
| Verifiable license and insurance | No license, vague on insurance |
| Detailed written quote and contract | Verbal estimate only |
| Reasonable deposit, milestone payments | Large upfront deposit, cash only |
| References and recent reviews | No references, no online presence |
| Clear paint products named | Will not say what paint they use |
| Patient, answers questions | High-pressure, sign-today discounts |
Read the reviews the right way
Look past the star rating to what reviewers actually say. Strong signs are repeat mentions of clean prep, on-time crews, and tidy job sites, plus how the company responded to any criticism. You can see the kind of feedback to look for on our own reviews page. A handful of detailed, specific reviews tells you more than a large pile of one-line ratings.

Ask these questions before you sign
The answers reveal how organized and accountable a contractor is. A good crew also prepares you for the project, the way we outline in our guide on preparing your home for painting.
What is different about hiring painters in Florida
Florida's climate makes contractor selection matter even more, because the wrong prep or product fails fast in the heat, humidity, and salt air. Ask specifically how a contractor handles mildew treatment, moisture, and UV-rated coatings, since a crew that knows the local conditions will raise these before you do. Verifying a Florida license is also straightforward through the state portal above, so there is no reason to skip it. For exterior work specifically, our page on residential exterior painting shows the full-prep standard a local job should meet.
Trust your read of the relationship
Credentials and quotes do most of the work, but pay attention to how a contractor communicates. Did they show up on time to estimate the job, listen to what you wanted, and answer clearly? The way a company treats you before you have paid anything is the best preview of the project itself.

Frequently asked questions
How do I verify a painting contractor is licensed and insured?
Ask for the license number and the insurance certificate, then verify both yourself. In Florida you can check a license through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and you should call the insurance carrier to confirm general liability and workers compensation are active. Never rely on a photo of a card alone.
How many painting quotes should I get?
Get three quotes so you can compare scope, not just price. Make sure each one lists the same prep, coat count, and paint product, because a low number often leaves out a second coat or full prep. If one quote is far below the others, it is usually cutting something rather than offering a genuine bargain.
What are red flags when hiring a painter?
Watch for a large upfront deposit, no written contract, no verifiable license or insurance, cash-only demands, vague scope, high-pressure same-day discounts, and no references or reviews. A pro is comfortable putting the scope, paint products, timeline, and warranty in writing and giving you time to decide.
Should I pay a painter a deposit?
A modest deposit is normal, but be cautious of anyone asking for a large share of the total before work begins. A common, reasonable structure is a small deposit to schedule, a payment at a defined midpoint, and the balance only after a final walkthrough you approve. Avoid paying the full amount up front under any circumstances.
