How To Choose a Painter in Deerfield
- Cost: Ask for estimates from at least three contractors. Be cautious if one provider's estimates are much lower than others.
- Guarantees: Make sure you get all guarantees in writing and that you know the scope and duration of coverage.
- Paint types: Your painter can advise you on the different paint choices and their pros and cons to help you pick the best one for your needs. Certain paint types, for instance, withstand weather damage more effectively or are better for the environment.
- Qualifications: Ensure your painter is properly licensed to work in Deerfield 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 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: Ask for references from family and friends, and check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) profiles of companies you’re considering. You can also find reviews on sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
