    "I am Nancy Brown, I live in Hoffman Estates, & I own a 2 bedroom condo. I wanted to express my deep appreciation to Angelo Riviso, {Angelo's Painting} for making my dull and boring home into a master piece, elegant & beautiful!! His excellent professional knowledge of how to decided the best matching colors for each rooms, and the best contrast to beautifying my home. Than he will give time to sort out what you really want so ultimately its your decision. Just to give idea of how he was everyday, he'd come in @ 7:45 am, smiling and asking me how I was or how your weekend was? He has a great personality even early morning! I would make a fresh pot of coffee, & than put on the At & t music. You could hear him singing & whistling in the background, so you could feel how dedicated & enjoying hard work, he is in improving my home to making it a master piece!! He's been painting for 30 years and it shows in everything he does. I was only going with the walls, but he said, "It would make a big difference" and he was so right with his suggestion. He cleaned the ceiling and used Classic White for the ceiling. It was awesome to look at and I actually cried when I saw it!! I was hooked after that and just let him do his master piece. My home looks and feels like a brand new home, and its so gorgeous that I am already purchasing new furniture for dining room & living room. His prices are so extremely reasonable that when you hear them, you say no way, & then you think that the paint isn't part of estimate, but, it is!! And they are outstanding prices. What Angelo did: Painted Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, Hallway, Bathroom, Master bedroom & Vanity, Ceiling, Walls,& Trim, 2 Closets, and 2 window Sills. Also, I am having him back for another painting job, which is the guest bedroom, and for the very tiny master bedroom bathroom!! Than after that I'm having him beautify my 4 doors front and back. In conclusion: I want to say that I would never have anyone else touch my home except Angelo. He is a gentleman and inside and out knows he's stuff to making your home beautiful inside and out!!"

    "This company is a joy to work with. They were hired to paint some walls, we added ceilings, they repaired walls, ceilings and then did all my kitchen cabinets from paint to new hinges and handles. The price was very reasonable and Efraim was subtle but helpful with decision making. The work they did was in November. Today they are coming back to paint a bedroom. I will always use their services."

    "They did our kitchen, the floor, the backsplash, cabinets. They saved me a lot of money by repainting and resanding my cabinets. Everyone thinks I bought new cabinets! Great job, very happy. I had them back to do some other work including my ceilings and it all looks beautiful. They went above and beyond, just fantastic. They are very attentive, listen first then give suggestions of what they are able to do. Very nice, excellent. I recommended them to two of my neighbors. One that got her kitchen floors redone and she's very happy. The other neighbor had painting and wall repair done and were very pleased with the results. Young company that does great work, I would recommend them to anyone."

Joaquin needs a better rain suit because he got very wet during the process of pressure washing the house. I would recommend him to do this work. He does need to be more careful around the motion detector lights."

    "I cannot say enough good things about Abraham and his team. They were indispensible during a challenging and stressful move. Not only did they do a superb job of installing a ceiling fan to an 18ft ceiling, multiple patch repairs, seamlessly replacing and installing bathroom extractor fans that into non standard sized spaces, filling countless nail holes and repainting, and reattaching a dislodged dishwasher, Abraham did all of this amidst the chaos of a move and made MULTIPLE trips to Home Depot to color match paints when I provided the wrong cans. He was patient, thorough, and went WAY above and beyond any expectations in both service, execution, and generosity. If you have anything you need done in your home, make these guys your first call!"

    "Oscar was very quick to respond to my initial inquiry email after I was provided him as an option from Home Advisor. He answered all of my questions and provided me a fair quote very quickly. I went with him based on other reviews on Home Advisor as well as him prompt communication. He did three entire rooms and a couple additional doors and trims for my project. The work done by his painter exceeded my expectations especially since one of the rooms required quite a bit of attention. They made sure to verify that everything met my satisfaction prior to closing out the job. And the minor things I did find, they fixed right away. I will definitely use Magic Color Painting again for any of my future painting needs."

    "Their team was exactly what we needed to move a pool table from one location to another and here is why I think you should hire them: 1. They were able to come the next day of me hiring them when others on Thumtack couldn't. 2. They have the best value for money. I got 4 quotes and theirs was the best. 3. They responded and communicated every step of the way. 4. They told me I would need a spray for my table and since I didn't have it, they picked it up on the way for me. 5. They took pride in their work to make sure it's done properly and accurately. No shortcuts. 6. They disassembled the pool table and reassembled it perfectly and took time to ensure its a job done well. I will use them for any other moving needs too. Highly recommend."

    "I was changing my utility room ceiling when we discovered that I have a leaky roof. So, we stop all the work until we fix the roof. It was very stressful to deal with in the middle of the Pandemic. I was hoping for just a quick repair that needed to be done. Called several roofing company only 3 actually came to inspect the roof and gave estimates. But I was not happy or comfortable dealing with them for some reason. So, I decided to search on HomeAdvisor. Not even 30 minutes, Steve Stergo called and we set up a day to come to check roof. Steve Stergo was easy to talk to and answered all my questions. He gave me his honest opinion. He pointed out areas in my roof that have problems. Sure enough when his staff tear up the roof, Steve was right! I could not believed what's underneath the roof, so much rotten woods every where. The number one problem that Steve spotted right on was that I did not have any insolation board installed at all. Out of 4 roofing company that I meet, he was the only one that mentioned about the need for an insolation board. The others just told me that my roof is good and just need to fix the problem area. I am so glad that I meet Steve and listened to his opinion. His staff was great and works hard. They came in on a Sunday to finish the roof because next week will be raining. I now have a brand new flat roof with insulation. It's a big expense but I have peace of mind. My whole experienced was with Stergo Company was amazing and stress free. Highly recommend Stergo Roofing Company."

    "I initially contacted Brayan about installing upper cabinets for me, but ended up having him quote laying tile backsplash as well. His estimate was extremely fair, and offered a little off if I gave him both jobs. I hired him for both jobs and he came out the next week (my earliest availability) to complete them. He was very communicative prior to coming, working back and forth to make sure we had all the necessary supplies. We used a mixture of things I had and he picked up the rest of what we needed. He showed up promptly on the day we scheduled with another guy and they worked all day to get both jobs completed. He returned the next day for a short time to finish the grout, but other than that had everything completed in a day. They were both extremely professional and clean while doing their work. The end results were even better than expected. Super easy and friendly to work with, and charged exactly what he quoted. I will definitely be using him again."

Frequently asked questions

Painters usually price a job by the square feet of the project. Sometimes they’ll include flat fees for fixed expenses, like overhead and permits.

We make finding a painter easy. Simple use our directory to find a painter. Here you can browse local pros, check their reviews and do your first screening without ever having to call. We’ve also prescreened all the pros for you, to give you peace of mind.

Interior painting makes for a doable DIY project. You can save some money and get a real sense of accomplishment by doing this yourself. And, with the right prep work – covering, taping and scraping – it’s fairly forgiving. But it takes a lot of time to move furniture, tape trim, prep the surface and cover your floor, let alone apply the actual paint. Instead, save yourself the time and hassle and find a local interior painter.

Leave exterior painting to the pros. Not only do you need to worry about the type and quality of the paint, you’ll also likely need a ladder and considerably more prep work. You’ll likely need additional equipment like ladders, scaffolding and possibly a paint sprayer. It’s almost cheaper to just hire a pro. Talk to a local exterior house painter about your project.

  1. Do your research. Understand what to expect and what to look for in a pro. Look at paint types, prices and costs.
    1. Interior home painting costs $1,000-$2,800
    2. Exterior painting costs $1,700-$4,100
    3. Painting a ceiling costs $150-$350
    4. Painting cabinets costs $350-$1,200
    5. Trim painting costs $500-$1,500
    6. Calculate paint coverage
  2. Call pros for site inspections and estimates. Always get three to five estimates.
  3. Check references, compare quotes, look at past work. After you have estimates in hand, do one final pass to compare the contractors.
  4. Sign a contract with the pro of your choice. You might need to make a down payment, usually 25% to 50% of the total project cost to cover material costs, but not all pros require this. Don’t pay for the entire project upfront.

  • A complete inspection. Each pro takes a walk around your home to evaluate the condition of your current paint, the size of the job and any obstacles for accessing the site. They do this to see how much prep work they’ll need and estimate how long the job will take. The more thorough the inspection, the more accurate the quote.
  • Color consultation. Expect each contractor to have varying color options and suggestions. However, you have the final say.
  • Listen to the pro – they’re experts after all – but don’t get pushed into a color combination or finish type that you don’t want. Understand the different exterior paints or interior paint choices before your pro arrives.
  • A rough estimate or complete quote. Finishing contractors vary here. Usually, they can quote straightforward projects on the spot. But some may need to take it back to their shop to run numbers and give you a detailed estimate with costs broken out. Neither method is better than the other, but just make sure to get multiple quotes.

  1. How long have you been in business? A long business history helps you avoid shoddy companies. It’s hard for a service business to stay in business if they don’t do good work.
  2. Are you licensed and insured? Not all states require a license for painting homes, but many do. Always use one that’s insured.
  3. Do you belong to any professional organizations? You’ll find many online, like the Painting Contractors Association or the Finishing Contractors Association?
  4. Do you have other work I can look at? Always check a portfolio or, in the case of painters, it’s better to look at work they did a few years ago to see how well it’s held up.
  5. How long will the job take? Get a rough estimate but get it in writing.
  6. How many people are in your crew? This is especially important if you work remotely. More people generally means more noise, but they’ll be done faster.
  7. Will I be in the way if I’m home during the painting? You usually won’t be in the way, but this question helps you understand what to expect while they’re working. They’ll need to lay down coverings and do a lot of prep work.
  8. Do you guarantee your work? Never hire a painter who doesn’t guarantee their work. This often means they’ll rush the prep work, since peeling never happens right away.
  9. What type of paint do you use, and how long is it rated to last? Different rooms need different paint and the exterior needs exterior paint. It comes in different grades with different guaranteed lifetimes.
  10. Can you supply a written estimate and contract? Never use a painter who isn’t willing to put his work in writing.
