    "James Forrest provided outstanding service in power washing and painting the porch railings, support posts, front and kitchen doors and trim. They were prompt in responding (less than 24 hours, I received a phone call) to my initial request submitted online. We scheduled an appointment for Friday May 7 for them to see the job and provide an estimate, and they showed up exactly on time on the scheduled date. They provided an estimate on the spot, which I agreed to. Work was scheduled for the following Monday May 10, and completed on schedule on Thursday May 13. Quality of work was outstanding. James was easy to communicate with before and during the job. First rate service. Highly recommend James Forrest."

    "Carlos and Mother Team arrived on time and immediately set to work. My job was 60% prep along with substantial priming which they had planned perfectly and not a minute was wasted. My property was in good hands as no stray bits of paint found anywhere. This was the final step in my exterior home improvements for the year and I was very happy that they were able to do my job within less than a week after I accepted That 1 PainterĂ¢ s proposal. Cleanup was faultless. I could not be happier with the result. Thanks Andrew for your great service and a very pleasant experience. If I find myself in need of a painter in the future I know who IĂ¢ m calling on first!"

    Interior & Exterior Painting

    "Denis and his team did a fantastic job - I highly recommended DMJ on every level! This includes an on-point kitchen cabinet painting job I didn’t originally plan, but after discussing with Denis, I am so glad I had done by them (more detail below). I contacted many area companies and none were as responsive and detail oriented. I received a specific and clear proposal as well as a rough timeline and the work was done as proposed - quickly, thoroughly and respectfully Bonus — DMJ cleans up after themselves beautifully!!** **DMJ was meticulous about cleaning and caring for my home. A . I think this is important to note because I was told recently by another contractor I was using that a cleaning fee will be assessed ($300) if I expected contractors to, for example, flush the toilets after use. If I didn’t want layers of boot prints and hand prints on the previously clean counters, floors and toilets in non work areas, that would cost extra. DMJ is impeccable in this regard and they agree with my expectation that you leave a job site as clean as you found it and they don’t charge a cleaning fee to do that! DMJ also does excellent prep work - in addition to having freshly painted walls, trim, ceiling and doors, they really addressed every flaw on all surfaces - it was a job far beyond just paint. No painted over dry wall defects, they fix it ALL. No drywall tape left semi peeling, no sign of previous nail holes or pops, comparing recent work by other vendors, DMJ offers a superior end result. Our job included a very tall stairwell which was done over newly installed wood floors / stairs. The paint is perfect and not a drop of paint was out of place, nor scratch or bump made or left anywhere. Cabinets - I have had cabinets painted a few times over the past 15 years and DMJ does top of the line cabinet repainting at a reasonable price. They use the Benjamin Moore cabinet paints and by far this was the most professional cabinet painting job I’ve seen. Many companies may say they paint cabinets, DMJ painted ours so well, they look new. After a month of living with them, this cabinet paint is built for use and will last. So far, scratch resistant, easy to wipe down with no issues, etc. DMJ has enough infrastructure and trained personnel that they fit us in between other jobs as if we were a first priority immediately. DMJ offers a highly competitive price - even if not the lowest quite I received - when I factor in the level of quality and professionalism, the job easily was the most cost effective. If you need painting - don’t hesitate to hire DMJ Custom Colors!"

    "Mr. Ramirez and the gentleman working with him, were very professional and did an awesome job painting my kitchen and living room/ dining room. There was an area on the ceiling in the hallway that had a crack. With no hesitation they took it upon themselves to spackle and sand the area and paint it. This work was not in the original quote and they did not charge us for it. They were very neat and covered all the floors and cabinets with plastic. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any one."

    "We purchased a new condo and had Sergio and his group paint everything in its entirety - ceilings, walls, trim, closets, etc. As we live in Baltimore, we left him with the key to our new place and went home. I returned in 4 days. Everything was neat and clean and beautifully painted - two coats of paint. They had removed everything from the closets, covered anything not to be painted and did an excellent job. I would highly recommend them to anyone."

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.
