"We cannot explain how happy we were to come across Dennis. He exceeded our expectations, has a tremendous work ethic, is meticulous about his work, and is a great person. We purchased a home built in the 70 s that needed some updating. Dennis updated all the dark woodwork to white (including doors), repainted all ceilings, and painted all walls. It looks great. We will be sure to call him the next time we need professional painting services and will recommend him to others."

"Ben was extremely patient with us due to the fact that what began as a simple flooring install morphed into cabinetry work, removing two windows and installing a slider, as well as removing and installing two entrance doors. All Ben and Mack's work was meticulous, worth every penny!"

"Outstanding! I had my home exterior power washed. Fantastic job! They would not leave until they were satisfied! How refreshing to find folks who take great pride in their work! Would definitely hire them again and recommend them to others!"

"I had an exceptional experience with Will's Construction. From the outset to completion, they were consistently professional, courteous, experienced, and polite. A tree fell on my house, damaging the roof, fence, and siding. Will provided the first and most honest quote promptly on the same day, with very reasonable pricing. Although I shopped around for other quotes, he had already committed to the job by the time others responded. His crew arrived within two days and completed the work in just one day, showcasing remarkable speed and efficiency. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any construction needs. Will and his crew exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Will, for your hard work and integrity!""

"Hire Big Al. Sweetest guy ever with integrity and a priority to ensure he delivers excellent results. We loved working with Al. He left us at ease as it is clear he knows what he is doing. Our cabinets came out beautiful as we had them repainted. He is a great communicator. Kept us up to date with progress and A+ service and results. Big Al is someone we would hire again. No need to look any further."

"There are a lot of great things to say about Bill. First of all, he can do ANYTHING. Bill replaced siding, installed new plywood and Tyvec, painted my house and deck, built a new front porch, repaired and built new features on my back deck, eliminated rot, installed new gutters, re-insulated my basement, and even fixed a closet door in my house. He is a perfectionist and will treat your house like it is his own. Our house was in really rough shape before Bill came and now it looks stunning. We get compliments on it all the time. If you want someone that will do the job right, won't cut corners, and is a very nice person to work with - Bill is your guy."

"Jesse from Cornerstone, showed up the same day I made the request for a contractor to look at a possible leak around our chimney opening in the roof. He inspected the roof, went inside the attic to inspect the leak from an inside view and looked at the ceiling in our bedroom to make a thorough evaluation of the problem. Then we mentioned we may also have a leak problem with the bathroom vent to the roof. Jesse not only fixed the main chimney issue and leak on the roof, but also fixed the vent leak on the roof as well at no extra charge. He went above and beyond as he came from another job, because there was a rain storm coming the next day. He was very dedicated and committed to customer satisfaction. Highly recommended."

"Fernando and the crew were AMAZING! They really came through when the first pro I hired flaked without warning. The distance was the only reason I did not include them in the first round of estimates. They were meticulous and seemed tireless with the sanding. They did not rush, taking it apart to make sure it was done properly. I had already purchased the stain based on the previous contractor and recommendation, but they still gave me the 3- year guarantee on their work. The cold nights/morning dew resulted in an extra day, but they showed up on Saturday to not only finish but include me in the and walk through and to make sure no spots were missed during the second coat, no drip spots, etc. A couple of issues once the deck was dry were brought to Fernando attention and was fixed within two business days. Without issue and I got my front door painted at the same time. Renan and Fernando went above and beyond. I definitely hire Missi Painting again and I am looking forward to recommending them to everybody I know."

"Excellent team and communication for our roof project. We needed someone to repair our roof that has shingles thats been needing repair and they were able to deliver and spring into action within a day ! It was perfect as the rains were coming and the damage to our roof would have gotten worse. From the time I first communicated they were able to arrive and give us an estimate and work with our insurance company (which was not easy) in the same day. Highly recommend this company ! Thank you"

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.
