    "Mr. Lopez far exceeded our expectations on pricing. He was very friendly and courteous, and worked around our schedule as well. He did fantastic work, painting walls and ceiling and crown moldings in our living room, kitchen including cabinets, the entry-way, stairway and upstairs hallway. He also provided a sub-contractor to repair dry walls at an excellent price and also totally satisfactory results. We have more painting to be done in the spring and there is no one else I'd even consider for the job. Top marks across the board."

    Pressure Washing, Minor Repairs

    "My deck is one year old. Ten 6" posts, all the joists, and the framework for the lattice panels are exposed treated wood. I hired Mr Hernandez to fill any cracks/checks and to stain/paint all the exposed wood. After looking at the many options for stains, I chose the darkest one. After applying to several test areas, he requested whether it was acceptable. I think he suspected I would not be pleased...and he was correct. I then told him to get black paint. He went back to the store for it. After he applied to several test areas, he requested my approval. He was concerned that the black was not as black as the balusters. I approved of the color, as it looked good to me. After completion of the project, he cleaned up everything. He also kept the work area clean during the project. I live in a very quiet neighborhood. I really appreciated that he and his coworker worked quietly and without any radios etc playing. I plan to have him return to paint two rooms in my house."

My bedroom and bathroom look awesome now. I am very happy with the results. Henry and his crew were always prompt, courteous, and professional. Henry communicated with me every step of the way.

    "We had multiple jobs around our home, listed below. Andres is honest, fair, prompt, communicative and just a lovely person to work with. He makes sure all of the details are wrapped up and takes well-earned pride in his work. We have already hired him for another large job and have quite a long list of future jobs as well. Just an absolute delight to work with him. As to the work he did, while we called Andres about painting our kitchen cabinets, he ended up doing several of the projects on our list. In addition to painting cabinets, he installed a vent hood, removed old and installed new backsplash tile, removed a large framed TV cabinet/mantel and replaced it with a beautiful stone fireplace surround + mantel, repaired and repainted our large front porch, replaced an exterior door that had rotted AND pressure washed the entire house exterior. EXCELLENT experience."

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.
