Be wary of door-to-door offers, quotes far below every other bid, and companies with no local Philadelphia track record. Verify licensing, insurance, and recent reviews before any money changes hands.
Who issues permits for painting projects in Philadelphia?
Permit rules depend on the project's scope. Check with the Philadelphia County or Philadelphia building department before work starts - unpermitted work can complicate insurance claims and future home sales.
