How To Choose a Painter in Liberty
- Cost: Ask for pricing from several companies before deciding. Be cautious if one contractor offers substantially lower rates than others.
- Guarantees: Request guarantees in writing and ensure you understand which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your painter to explain 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: Verify the company you hire has the licensing required in Liberty and in the state of Ohio. All painters should be properly bonded and insured, especially if they’re working on a ladder or using power equipment. 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: Ask friends, family, and neighbors for references, and look up each painter you’re considering on the Better Business Bureau (BBB). You can also browse review sites such as Trustpilot or Google Reviews.
