How To Choose a Painter in Newark
- Cost: Talk to a few painters to get price estimates. Watch out for unusually cheap prices compared to the average.
- Guarantees: Ask for guarantees in writing and ensure you know which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your painter to explain different paint choices, including the pros and cons of each, so you can make an informed decision. Some options cater to specific needs, such as weather-resistant or eco-friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: Confirm the company you hire has the licensing required in Newark and in the state of Ohio. Make sure your painter is properly bonded and insured. This is especially important if they’re working on a ladder or using power equipment. 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: Get references from family and friends, and look at the Better Business Bureau (BBB) pages of providers you’re considering. You can also check ratings on sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
