Our services comply with the relevant local, state, and federal laws governing drywall installation, repair, and related construction services in Columbus, OH. When using our services, you should be aware of the following applicable regulations:

a. Ohio Building Codes

All drywall contractors we connect you with are required to comply with the Ohio Building Codes and Columbus Building Codes for construction, remodelling, and repair services. These codes ensure that all work performed meets safety, structural integrity, and fire protection standards.

b. Licensing and Certification

Drywall Contractors in Columbus, OH must be licensed by the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board (OCILB). This ensures that contractors meet all necessary professional standards, possess the required skills, and adhere to ethical business practices. Any contractors we refer you to must hold valid licenses and certifications required by the state and local authorities.

All contractors working with us are required to carry general liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance in compliance with Ohio laws.
