How To Choose a Painter in Norwich
Below are some factors to consider when deciding which residential painter to hire:
- Cost: Ask for estimates from at least three contractors. Be cautious if one provider's estimates are much lower than others.
- Guarantees: Ensure that you get all guarantees in writing, and that you understand the scope and duration of coverage.
- Paint types: Have your painter walk you through paint options and related pros and cons to ensure you select the right type for your project. Some paints, for example, are more eco-conscious or better at withstanding weather damage.
- Qualifications: Ensure the company you hire has the licensing required in Norwich and in the state of Ohio. All painters should be properly bonded and insured. This is especially important if they’re working with power equipment or on ladders. If your home was built prior to 1978, and you're worried about the possible presence of lead, consider looking for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Ask family and friends for references, and look up each contractor you’re considering on the Better Business Bureau (BBB). You can also check ratings on review sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
