"Mike and his crew, Tommy, Jeff and Brandon, have done deck updating, and 3 bathroom redos besides the kitchen redo. The house I purchased was dated 1948, that we started to call the Fun House, due to the strange things that were done to it over the years. Mike and his guys never batted an eye figuring out how to fix and make better. And they always discussed with me and explained what they wanted to do. I would definitely recommend them for any job you need to be done. Mike is honest enough to tell you if it can be done, and he always does the work as if it were his own house. And he is more than fair on this pricing."

"I was referred to Careyâ  s Painting by Angiâ  s List for an entire home paint job. It was easy to set up an appointment and Kevin came out the same day to provide an estimate. I had a pretty good idea of what color I wanted but Kevin made some really great and thoughtful suggestions for alternative colors to compliment our home. He was the first person do that and I appreciated his willingness to do so. He also took the time to advise me of which paints, of the few that I selected, would be harder to touch-up. As a courtesy, on day one he brought in samples of my final two selections and placed them on the wall for comparison. We had a pretty tight timeline to complete the project and Kevin advised that they could complete the job before Thanksgiving and he delivered on that promise. Within 14 hours in two days his crew had completely painted our home, including doors, walls, and trim. The crew was incredibly respectful of our space, asked great questions, and went out of their way to ensure that everything was perfect. I would definitely recommend Careyâ  s Painting for your future projects"

"Hector painted the wrought iron railings on our front and back porches and also our shed. The quality of his work was remarkable. I had researched the best paint to use for this application and had my mind made up. When I asked Hector what he would recommend, he came up with the exact same paint. First, he prepped the railings with a power drill with wire brush attachment to remove rust and chipping paint - one day for two railings. Then he applied an excellent primer to both railings - one day. Lastly, he applied the finishing coat in one day and also completed power washing our shed and repainting it entirely (10'x12' shed). He is a true pro! No paint droppings, no paint on anything except where it was supposed to be applied. He is very careful and covers and tapes around everything. His price is extremely reasonable (esp for the quality of his work) and I would highly recommend him!I am VERY particular about our home and he is the only painter that I will use in the future!!!"

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.
