How to choose between them
- Check the license yourself. Where California or San Francisco licenses this work, the licensing board's own lookup confirms a license number in a minute. Do it before you sign, not after.
- Get three bids on the same scope. Written down, split into labor, materials, allowances and anything structural. Most people compare a total against a total and end up choosing between two different projects.
- Ask what is not included. Permits, debris removal, fixture and finish allowances, and repairs after demolition are the four that turn a cheap bid into an average one.
- Never pay a large deposit up front. A deposit to order materials and hold a start date is normal. Half the total before anyone shows up is not.

House painters in San Francisco: common questions
Does an older house need lead-safe painting?
If it was built before 1978 and the job disturbs painted surfaces, federal law requires an EPA Lead-Safe Certified firm using lead-safe practices. Ask for the certificate before prep starts.
