How To Choose a Painter in Grove City
- Cost: Ask for estimates from at least three painters. Use caution if one installer's rates are significantly lower than the rest.
- Guarantees: Ask for guarantees in writing and ensure you know which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your painter to go over various paint choices, including the positives and negatives of each, to help you make an informed decision. Some options cater to specific priorities, such as weather-resistant or eco-friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: Make sure the company you hire has the licensing required in Grove City 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 prior to 1978, and you're concerned about the presence of lead, consider looking for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Ask friends and neighbors for references, and look up each painter you’re considering on the Better Business Bureau (BBB). You can also check ratings on review sites such as Trustpilot or Google Reviews.
