How To Choose a Painter in Warren
- Cost: Get price quotes from at least three providers. Be wary of any contractor that quotes a substantially cheaper rate than competitors.
- Guarantees: Make sure you get all guarantees in writing, and that you understand what’s covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your painting contractor to explain different paint choices, including the pros and cons of each, to help you make an informed decision. Some options are designed for specific needs, such as weather-resistant or eco-friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: Confirm the company you hire has the licensing required in Warren and in the state of Ohio. Make sure your painter is properly bonded and insured. This is especially important if they’re working with power equipment or on ladders. If your home was built before 1978, and you're concerned about the 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 friends and neighbors, or review the Better Business Bureau (BBB) listings of local painting companies. You can also read customer ratings on websites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
