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.

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.

The fence stain and front door/railings we had painted turned out beautiful, and he had great recommendations since we werenâ t entirely sure what colors we wanted. He was very easy to communicate with, extremely personable and a pleasure to work with, in general. He even picked me and my husband up some lunch! Seriously, the nicest guy! We will definitely continue to work with him for any future jobs!"

    "Manny and his crew performed excellent drywall patching in multiple ceiling areas due to a leaking roof. The work was so excellent that there is no evidence of the cut outs at all. He arrived on time, took great care of our personal property and the customer service was superb. He also completed the job one business day ahead of time. The cleanup was good without evidence of drywall repair. I will definitely use this company in the future and plan to try out their painting services! 😘"

    "We initially hired Darren to replace a Formica countertop in our kitchen. Work was performed on time and on budget. Darren respected our privacy, cleaned up after each day, and demonstrated a high quality attitude and approach to the work. Based on the initial work, we asked Darren to make some small repairs, which led to repair or a skylight leak, which led to painting , which led you to multiple rooms of painting, which led to the installation of a new gas cooktop, which led to some electrical lighting replacement. Darren demonstrated great skill diversity / plumbing, electrical, mechanical, painting, exterior repairs, and carpentry. The convenience of having someone to address various tasks that would have been a challenge for DIY was of tremendous value to us. Darren also demonstrated flexibility in work hours, and came back on a weekend to finish a critical activity to support our needs. We would readily call Darren again to help us on other tasks bs DIY."

    "This crew is top-notch...and consistent with the reviews so I know they are the real deal! I contacted several roofers, 2 of which I engaged in conversation about 1)repairing a smaller leak 2) Getting lined up for a full roof replacement in the Spring/ Summer. Alsip was the only one that actually came out rather than only relying on what I said or satellite pictures which is good because I am a professional in MY line of work, not roofs, lol. Rudy was stellar on the phone and Mike (?) led the conversation on-site. My expectations of cost were waaaay off as shown by my conversations with both roofing companies. Mike took the time to show me exactly what was going on with my roof and shared his recommendation. He explained the process and his warranty. He painted a picture that performing this work can be done at the cost I was initially prepared to spend with just a regular handyperson but that the work would not be guaranteed, other issues could arise, or the problem could be made worse with the bare minimum I was looking for. I am very excited that no matter what happens this winter (flat damaged roof plus wet heavy snow) the work they did is guaranteed. Additionally, he set me up so that should I choose to work with his crew again down the road, I would receive a credit to those repairs. All in all, Alsip Roofing took a scary situation and made it so much easier to digest with information. They were present, communicative and came back the very next day, 9am on the dot to perform the work. My initial call was Thursday, estimate on Friday, work on Saturday, done! The individual that did the work was also very kind, informative, prompt, and professional. I will have absolutely no issue contacting this crew again when I'm ready for that larger job! Additionally, I would completely recommend them to my neighbors! I learned, not every company will do a flat roof so I take comfort in knowing they did the work and will stand by their repairs and I have no concerns that I'll have any difficulty with reaching them for questions moving forward. They truly earned their 5 stars and my recommendation!"

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.
