    "William is very honest, knowledgeable and a total professional. He communicates clearly so there is no misunderstandings. I first hired him to paint the interior of my rental property. He did such a great job, that I decided to also hire him to paint my house in Kensington and my office in Mission Valley. I am very picky and detail oriented so it was a pleasant experience working with William who is very detailed oriented. I highly recommend him!!!"

    "Eric Christensen, owner of California Coatings Painting Company, Inc., has done wonderful work for us on several different projects, including interior and exterior painting and also refinishing doors and trim. He is a highly skilled professional, who we also called in fix the incomplete or poorly done work of others. His attention to detail, patience, courtesy, friendliness, and amiable nature made him easy to work with. He also returned our phone calls and texts promptly and kept us informed as to his schedule. He arrived on time, every time, and left all work spaces clean and tidy. We would, without hesitation, recommend him to others, and we plan to request his services again in the future."

    "PaintRite Painters were extremely professional, courteous, punctual, and went above and beyond my original request by also replacing rotten wood, fasciaâ  s and balcony in my large apartment building. They cleaned each day and my tenants loved the final result. Additionally his paint quality was the best. I would hire PaintRite Painters without even thinking about it should I need it in any other project.."

    "From our first chat on the phone I immediately liked Dina. Her energy and enthusiasm was wonderful and refreshing compared to other designers I had contacted for a comparatively small job. She made my job of redesigning my kitchen and great room easy. Dina immediately “got” my aesthetic and worked with it by presenting me with limited options in quartz, handles and colors. She suggested replacing old hinged doors on a built-in bookcase in the great room, transforming it from worn and “ho hum” to a fine piece of furniture. I am now thrilled to have a classy and modern kitchen and a great room that seems all “dressed up” with new paint, color and bookcase doors. Friends and family are amazed at the transformation too!"

    "Just hire him. Geoff re-stained my front doors, painted everything in the house including the cabinets, walls, baseboards, ceilings, the garage and its floor. His work was better than we hoped for and the price was well below the other bidders. He's very easy to work with and readily accepted the changes requested as the project progressed.

    "This was a very professional company. We hired them to repaint and refinish our kitchen cabinets. The crew did a fantastic job!. Every day there was a supervisor to check on the status of the job and to keep us updated. The crew was very clean and protected the surrounding walls and floors. The other areas of the house were taped off from the kitchen to prevent any dust from spreading. They worked hard and did a professional job! Would rehire them in a heartbeat. You will not be disappointed."

    "A&M Specialized Coatings just absolutely transformed our kitchen by painting our dark stained dated cabinets a beautiful white! I cannot say enough about Isidro and his team. The attention to detail and quality of work far exceeded my expectations. Isidro was so helpful when I couldnâ t choose which white paint color and at the last minute, painted a second sample door for me so I could feel confident in my decision. He is so helpful and responsive to questions along the way and just put in an incredible amount of time making sure our cabinets were absolutely perfect. I still cannot believe how amazing they turned out, looks like a factory finish! I would absolutely recommend them for any project and definitely plan to use them again for future painting projects! A+++!!"

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.
