"Charles came with two sons. He had injury to his left foot just a few days before I contacted him. He came with crutches and supervised his sons. All three are very polite. They turned off every light and locked the doors every day before they left, unlike my general contractor and builder who frequently left the lights on and door unlocked, even one time they left with the key in the dead bolt. I didn't tell Charles and sons to lock the doors and turned off the lights, they did it with their professional ethic. They also notified me the numerous defects done by my builder- the most important one being the leak from the spigot pipe causing water under my bed room's floor. I contacted Charles to repaint the interior and repair the ugly area of wall in prominent view which had been repaired by my builder and his worker six times and still ugly and also the painting was patchy. Charles and his sons corrected all. I am very pleased with them."

"I am new to the area, and we bought a new home. We had bare walls and my husband and I did not want the hassle of painting ourselves. I looked into home advisor just to see if I would get any help or call backs. Within the hour, Mr. Blaine called and was able to come THAT evening to give me a quote. He was able to do the work the following Monday. His son and himself showed amazing professionalism, with great customer service. Mr. Blaine and his son were very friendly and did their job thorough and quick. I was impressed. My living room wall looks gorgeous! I want to add shiplap next and I already have them scheduled to do it!"

"Bill was absolutely incredible! I hired him to paint my ancient kitchen cabinets/drawers, and the surrounding wood around them. Bill gave 200% effort to repair, sand, and paint them exquisitely and to ultimate perfection! He also installed handles on every single cabinet and drawer. His paint job is just totally immaculate and I feel like I have a brand new kitchen. He is professional, polite, and very skilled at refinishing and painting cabinets. I cannot sing his praises enough! I would give him 10 stars if I could. I am over the moon with how amazing everything looks. Highly recommended!"

"Blake and Al were great. They were very transparent and informative about our home improvement - replacing an exterior window with French doors. They helped us with each step and always took the time to explain everything. We will definitely hire them for our future home projects. Highly recommend."

"Our job involved painting the exterior of our house. We were not satisfied with the work performed by our previous painters. Cornelius was happy to allow us to visit a house that his crew was painting, and seeing the way his team worked helped us decide to employ him as our painter. Cornelius met with us before beginning the job to address our specific concerns and to outline how the work would be done. The crew arrived promptly at 8 AM and worked carefully and efficiently throughout the day. Contrary to our experience with previous painters, once they started our job, the Corspaint crew continued until it was finished. Including pressure washing and surface preparations, the job required 4 days, just as outlined in the proposal. The crew worked as a team, discussing the best approach to solve problems encountered with our house. The members of the crew were both professional and pleasant to have around the house. We are happy with the quality of their work and their attention to detail. Many of our neighbors have complimented us on the appearance of our house. We are happy to recommend Corspaint, and we will contact them for our next painting needs."

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.
