    Clifton, VA·

    General contractor, Deck and fence repairs, power washing and paint, Home Reminding , and 7 more

    "I had been hesitant for years about repairing our deck (that was completely rotting and falling apart!) because I didn t know where to start. I had looked around and seen extremely high prices and I just didn t want to start such a big job with someone I couldn t fully trust. Repairing our deck to me was like adding a new room to our home. I love sitting outside but the quality of our deck was so poor that it actually prevented me from being outside. When we told A1 Repairs and Remodeling about the goals we had in repairing our deck, they came to our house the same day and started working. Old wood was removed and replaced, the deck was power washed, sanded and painted all within a matter of days!! The quality of work was incredible. It honestly feels like my entire deck was replaced with a brand new one. The customer service was excellent, and the cost is much more affordable than others I ve seen. I would HIGHLY recommend this company for any home job you need."

    "VCB did an absolutely *OUTSTANDING* job with painting part of the interior of our Lansdowne Woods condo! They were always prompt, kept the work area clean, and did a great job of cleanup when they were finished. The paint work was absolutely first rate even though it was made more difficult because of all the surrounding wood trim that was NOT being repainted. Victor is a fine gentlemen, prompt to respond to requests and a pleasure to deal with. VCB has done a lot of work for our son and his wife, including construction and remodeling, and we would call them first before any other contractor."

    "I first used Titan for exterior pressure washing of my home. Iâ  ve been living in my home for 6 years and never had the exterior pressure washed. My neighborhood came together as a group and we got a group discount for all four sides to include the porch area as well. The cost was very reasonable and they did an excellent professional job. The other work Titan has done to my home was deck pressure washing restaining and interior painting of a fairly large area. From scheduling to accommodating time that worked for me and my family to even me being indecisive about the color scheme. Titan work along side with me in choosing the colors I eventually chose and even was able to secure an excellent discount with Sherwin-Williams for them top of the line-quality paint. Titan, covers a variety of services, is very professional and do high-quality work, and their prices are very reasonable. In addition, to painting the interior areas of my home, Titan also repaired a major drywall issue I had. I was especially glad that they were patient with my indecision on color choices, and they gave me excellent advice. They also power-washed and refinished my deck. In the past, they power-washed my siding. Iâ  ve always been super pleased with their service and responsiveness. I will continue to use them in the future and canâ  t recommend their services enough. A great team!"

I had another contractor come by and provide an estimate and I would've had to buy a new door, give up on another one, etc. With Franz, none of this was a challenge. He repaired the door and fixed the other and did an amazing job with everything else without leaving a mess. I would rehire in the future and would highly recommend to anyone needing a handyman."

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.
