How To Choose a Painter in Dublin
- Cost: Get price ranges from at least three painters. Use caution if one installer's rates are significantly lower than the rest.
- Guarantees: Get all guarantees in writing and ensure you understand which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Your painting pro can walk you through the different paint options and their advantages and disadvantages to help you pick the best one for your needs. Certain paint types, for instance, resist weather damage more effectively or are better for the environment.
- Qualifications: Confirm the company you hire has the licensing required in Dublin and in the state of Ohio. Make sure your painter is properly bonded and insured, especially if they’re working on a ladder or using power equipment. If your home was built prior to 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 references from family, friends, and neighbors, or check out the Better Business Bureau (BBB) listings of local painters. You can also browse customer reviews on websites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
