"2nd Street Painting just completed painting our 1904 two story home in Tolono, IL. My wife and I are very pleased with the quality of the finished product provided by Nate, Clayton and the crew. As a recently retired Architect, I am very conscious of the requirements and skills needed by painters and other trades. From the beginning, I was impressed. Nate and 2 other firms came to my house to prepare bids for the work. Only Nate prepared a detailed two page typed bid that made it clear what work would be done and included the warrantee on the work. The other bidders hand scribbled little more that a price. I also noticed other important considerations in picking a quality painting company for your work: Preparation (i.e. scraping) is the most important part of a good paint job and it was done very well by the crew. The painters used a high quality paint and primer, not a lower quality "contractor grade" paint. The painters showed up on time and didn't take "extended" breaks at lunch or during the day. The worksite was well organized and cleaned up at the end of the day. The painters work well with carpenters who were repairing siding and trim ahead of them.  In general, we could have been more pleased with 2nd Street Painting and we are happy to recommend them to others."

"So happy with all the work that was done by SkeBo homes!!! I needed the interior rooms of my house painted before I put it on the market to sell. Bob, Erin & Traceydid more than paint, They were able to fix a couple door knobs, front porch, electrical switches repaired. Best part is they shared suggestions on home improvements. My home sold very quickly and I want to Thank SkeBo Homes for all the work they did."

"I reached out to Next Level Roofing & Construction for a paint quote as a referral from one of my good friends. I had seen their painting work results on two separate homes and believed they would be able to provide great results. The initial quote was easy and I learned they offer far more than just painting- they are contractors. Next Level Roofing & Construction was able to fit me into their schedule and one of their teams came out and started right away. They were able to provide a skim coat for the bathroom, cut into the wall and add recessed electrical (original home had external track electric in one of the bedrooms), repair said wall, paint multiple rooms, provide electrical updates in multiple rooms, and provide trim for windows and a door. Next Level Roofing & Construction is licensed and insured and provide their own equipment needed for the job. They were professional during the entire process. They provided honest feedback when asked what should be fixed vs. what could be done and even offered alternatives to save money. I would recommend Next Level Roofing & Construction for your next home project repair or upgrade!"

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.
- Do your research. Understand what to expect and what to look for in a pro. Look at paint types, prices and costs.
- Interior home painting costs $1,000-$2,800
- Exterior painting costs $1,700-$4,100
- Painting a ceiling costs $150-$350
- Painting cabinets costs $350-$1,200
- Trim painting costs $500-$1,500
- Calculate paint coverage
- Call pros for site inspections and estimates. Always get three to five estimates.
- Check references, compare quotes, look at past work. After you have estimates in hand, do one final pass to compare the contractors.
- 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.
- 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.
- Are you licensed and insured? Not all states require a license for painting homes, but many do. Always use one that’s insured.
- Do you belong to any professional organizations? You’ll find many online, like the Painting Contractors Association or the Finishing Contractors Association?
- 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.
- How long will the job take? Get a rough estimate but get it in writing.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Can you supply a written estimate and contract? Never use a painter who isn’t willing to put his work in writing.
