    Interior and Exterior Painting

    "Branden( owner) was very professional and informative. His staff was courteous, on time and did a great job. They came out within a couple of days of calling and helped fixed a kitchen that needed a lot of work. My bedroom ceiling and walls were very poor looking and now look wonderful. I am very pleased and highly recommend Elliott"s Painting. Very pleased"

    "Great experience using FST Painting to refinish kitchen cupboards and make other kitchen repairs at my home. Extremely neat and thorough, I would do business with FST again and highly recommended them."

    "The painters where very on time, my master bedroom was the project. They did an outstanding job and they also cleaned up. They cover my furniture, moved what was necessary. I even found a spot on the window trim I was not happy with and in no time that area was taken care of and I had no problems at all. great job!"

    "Precise Touch is the BEST! They repainted our badly weathered trim and facia boards. The surfaces were in really bad shape. They did a very thorough job on the prep work, scraping, filling and priming. When they did the finish coat they masked areas that other painters might have merely "cut in" with a brush. The result far exceeds my expectations. If you need a professional, excellent painter...THIS IS IT!"

    "I would use this painter again for any painting that I might need. He was able to meet my immediate needs to schedule the appointment and do all of the misc. touchup painting, etc for preparing my home for selling."

    "I have worked with Ivan (Clementson Painting) for over 25 years. We have collaborated on exterior projects, interiors and occasionally commercial buildings. The work was done professionally because the preparation was done in a comprehensive fashion. Detail oriented and easy to work with, Clementson Painting will get your job done and you will not be disappointed."

    "OMG, this is hands down the best contractor team you will ever have the pleasure of working for you should you decide to use them. They can do any type of work you need. We had them pull old carpet, put in hardwood floors, paint, put in crown molding. Paint the outside of the house, fix the garage before painting, fix the back door and front door, so they are airtight, fix the white picket fence, move the mailbox and re-post it, put in a ceiling fan, install electrical lines, paint the porch, fix some cabinets, put in a beam on the porch, and so on as part of some remodeling. I could not possibly have had all this work done if they had not been extremely reasonable. I love the guys on this team. I trust every single one of them and Rolando has a better personality than any contractor I have ever worked with. Not only that he is honest and trustworthy. He does not ask for anything up front. Their work speaks for itself. All I can say is that I hate even posting this because I do not want them so busy I cannot get them to come back to my house. Honestly, these are the guys you want."

    "Lionel and his team did a great job painting the exterior of our house and we hired him again to paint the interior including cabinetry. He is very detail oriented and works side-by-side with his crew, so you don't have to deal with different people for estimates and on the job communications."

    "The Gutierrez brothers did a great job painting all nine of our exterior French doors inside and out, a large bedroom with many windows and we threw in a bathroom at the last minute. They got everything done under time and on budget. Their price was well under the other bid we received, almost too good to be true, but it wasnâ t! Not only was their work great, they kept everything clean and were so quiet, you could barely tell they were there. They communicated promptly and asked all the right questions to clarify the job both when quoting and doing the work. Not only were they professional but they were personable. They were knowledgeable, reliable, friendly, respectful, and even worked around our houseful of cats and made sure none were let out. Definitely recommend them, have already referred them to friends, and will have them back for any future painting needs. Just nice reliable hard working guys you can trust!"

    "We have had some storm damage on our singles since El Nino hit us in 2018. Ever since, weâ ve been having leaks, and I honestly didnâ t bother getting it fixed. That was a big mistake on my end because recently weâ ve been experiencing some mold growth in our attic & ceiling. Thatâ s when I made the call to Journey Builders, and they ended up repairing my shingles and taking care of the mold problem. It was a great experience working with Manny, he really saved me from a big headache."

    "I have been searching for a painter for several months. Many did not respond to my messages, while others were far above my budget. However, Fernando came through. Not only did he provide painting services, but he also found someone to help replace the dry-rotted wood on my house. The team was very thorough in their preparations, which included power washing, taping, sanding, and replacing wooden panels. The painting process went smoothly, and the crew was meticulous in their work. I was truly impressed by their ability to go above and beyond. I am grateful for their excellent service and have recommended Fernando to my neighbor."

    "I've had J&D Painting do two different jobs for me: first, a complete exterior painting of my house; and secondly, the removal of a popcorn ceiling, retexturing and repainting of the ceiling, and then painting of that room. Work was excellent, people arrived on time, and it easy to work with David and the team members. What I also liked was that when during the exterior painting I needed some stucco work, and also needed replacement of the old gutters and some roof repair, David had excellent contacts. And prices were reasonable!"

    "Wise Painting did an excellent job painting the interior of our home as well as our kitchen cabinets. They were professional and responsive, and the paint looks perfect. Thiago and his team also helped to do some damage control on a leak in our ceiling that occurred while they were painting the house. They treated the home as if it were their own, and we couldn't be more grateful for a job well done. We'll likely be reaching out for ceiling repair in the near future... thank you, Wise Painting!"

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.
