"We had our driveway sealed and was impressed with the quality of work and had them come back to stain our deck and porch. They also painted our foundation and shed. Very professional and you can tell they take pride in their work. Very friendly and explained everything they were going to do and what care needed to be done after they left(when to walk on and place furniture back on ). We will definitely use them again in the future."

"I recently hired DahnTahn construction to complete a major deck installation. We needed a roof as well as paver/ concrete work below. They were quick to give me my estimate and laid out clear expectations of how long the project would take they showed up every day on time and cleaned up before they left, which was much appreciated"

"Definitely someone I would hire in the future! He was very professional, communicated frequently and did a great job on installing new baseboards and trim around my fireplace and built-in bookshelves. I shopped around and really felt like I was getting a great deal."

""Marra Brothers Contracting" is the real deal. We contracted them to paint the exterior of our house they were dependable, meticulous and incredibly talented. . Every detail was handled. Your satisfaction is their primary concern. The crew - Chance, Zach, and Brendan were very knowable and with good work ethic- they cared about a job well done - and even called back after the job was finished to see if anything was missed, - suprised to see this kind of follow up in today's world. We required that all areas of peeling paint were to be Scraped and Primed Using Peel Bond Primer. All areas to be painted were power washed, Areas With Mold were cleaned With Mold Avenger And Washed, Rotted Trim was Removed And Replaced.(matching/replacing/ crafting trim on a 91 year old house was no mean feat but they did it) We could not be happier."

"I had the pleasure of hiring Martin to repaint the entire interior of my home, as well as to patch and repaint my garage. I could not be happier with the results. From start to finish, Martins work was nothing short of exceptional. He approached the job with an incredible work ethic, often starting early in the morning, working long hours, and even showing up on weekends and a holiday to stay on schedule. That kind of dedication is rare and deeply appreciated. The quality of Martins painting is outstanding. Every wall, baseboard, and ceiling was done with care and precision. The transformation is unbelievable ? the house feels brand new. He also did a fantastic job in the garage, repairing and repainting. Everything looks fresh, clean, and beautifully finished. Martin is not only highly skilled but also professional, dependable, and respectful of the space he is working in. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-tier painter who truly who truly takes pride in his craft."

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.
