A few questions before you call anyone
When is the best time to paint the outside of a house in Lorain?
Late spring through early fall. Exterior paint needs surface temperatures reliably above roughly 50°F and dry conditions to cure properly, which rules out much of the Lorain winter and makes the good crews busy from about May onward.
Should the painter supply the paint?
Most will, and it's usually simpler — but ask which brand and product line is included, and how many coats the quote covers. A cheaper quote using a lower-grade paint or a single coat isn't actually cheaper over the life of the job.
Do painting contractors need a licence in Ohio?
Ohio doesn't require a statewide painting licence, so it's on you to ask each company directly about liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, especially for exterior work involving ladders or lifts.
