    "I am completely satisfied with the work completed by Alex, Mike and Joe. I loved that I was able to schedule an appointment right away on-line the day I searched. My original on-line list was much shorter than when I met with Alex but he was able to do the work. Alex gave me a quote and came out within the 2 week time frame he said he would. I now have a power washed home, pressure washed and stained deck, new lattice trim, painted garage door jamb, replaced, caulked (and painted) garage window, new side door light fixture, banister to the basement, closet rod and shelf, new ceiling fan, replaced door lock on the back french door, drop ceiling tiles replaced, bathroom drywall repaired, kitchen sink hose and faucet replaced, and new concrete step. They do it all professionally, efficiently and well done!"

    "We live in Red Tail in Avon. Weâ ve been updating over the past few years and now that we met Ken the bar has been raised significantly higher compare to other contractors I worked with. Ken is on his 3rd project for us, and we have more planned. Heâ s run trim in our Basement and did some custom cabinetry work In our basement and it was so outstanding that we moved upstairs and had him paint our kitchen cabinets, and now we are doing a full kitchen remodel because of how excellent the work is. Ken does what he says heâ s going to do, his pricing is outstanding given the value and and he wonâ t cut corners even if I suggested it to make his job easier (and because I didnâ t mind).. His attention to detail, attention to deadlines, and planning and execution are far superior to the other contractors Iâ ve worked with over the years."

They had great customer service when explaining what they were going to do for the price very polite and very cost efficient! When they came to prep my ceiling to get sprayed everything was well covered the workers were very courteous to us and explain what they were going to do and how long it was going to take. They came in the next day had the job done and half the day cleaned up everything and we are very very satisfied with the quality of work that they gave us for our rec room and gym area ??? I would definitely recommend them for any type of painting jobs they are a good quality company and the price is well within reason!"

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.
