How To Choose a Painter in Boardman
Below are some factors to consider when selecting which painting professional to hire:
- Cost: Contact a few companies to get price estimates. Watch out for exceptionally cheap prices compared to the average.
- Guarantees: Make sure you get all guarantees in writing, and that you understand what’s covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Your painting pro can walk you through the different paint options and their pros and cons to help you choose the best one for your needs. Certain paints, for instance, protect against weather damage more effectively or are better for the environment.
- Qualifications: Ensure your painter is properly licensed in Boardman and in the state of Ohio. Make sure your painter is properly bonded and insured. This is especially important if they’re working on a ladder or using power equipment. If your home was built prior to 1978, and you're concerned about the presence of lead, you might look for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Request references from family, friends, and neighbors, and review the Better Business Bureau (BBB) pages of painters you’re considering. You can also check ratings on sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
How Much Does Painting Cost in Boardman?
The price to paint your home will vary based on your home’s dimensions, the paint you choose, and the time of year. Painters usually charge more in the busy summer season. Interior and exterior painting jobs both run, on average, between $0.74 and $2.95 per square foot. Most homes have greater interior surface area than exterior surface area, which means the cost to paint inside will be greater than the cost to paint the exterior. The average cost of painting a 2,000-square-foot home in Boardman is $3,692 for exterior work and $1,477 to $5,907 for inside work. Alternatively, local Boardman painters may charge anywhere from $14.37 to $23.96 per hour. Hourly rates may save you money if you choose to bundle services. For example, if you get both your home’s interior and exterior painted at once, you’ll pay less overall than you would if you’d scheduled them separately.
