How To Choose a Painter in Cuyahoga Falls
- Cost: Get estimates from a few companies before deciding. Be cautious if one company offers substantially lower rates than the rest.
- Guarantees: Ensure that you get all guarantees in writing, and that you understand the scope and duration of coverage.
- Paint types: Ask your painter to walk through paint selections in detail, covering the pros and cons of each. This will help you select the best option for your project. Some paints have better weather resistance or use more environmentally friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: Confirm the company you hire has the licensing required in Cuyahoga Falls and in the state of Ohio. Make sure your painter is properly bonded and insured, especially if they’re working with power equipment or on ladders. If your home was built before 1978, and you're worried about the possible presence of lead, you might look for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Get family and friends to provide references, or use the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to review companies you’re considering. You can also find customer reviews on sites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
