    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"

    "I recently hired E B Painting to paint the interior of my home, including walls, ceilings, baseboards, door, and window frames in every room and closet. They did a fantastic job, meticulously sanding and filling holes, and even removing the curtain bars. The quality of their work was outstanding, with smooth and even coats of paint throughout. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and great pricing truly impressed me. I highly recommend E B Painting for any painting needs."

    "Ivan, Sarai, Ismael and others were fantastic to work with. I hired New Generation to paint the interior of my condo. They did a fantastic job and I'm so very pleased with the results. I had lots of questions and they were very patient with me. They explained the steps they would take and I learned a lot about different grades of paint, wall textures, etc. Outstanding customer service. Punctual as well. Will hire them again when I get my kitchen cabinets done next year. If you need any painting work done, I HIGHLY recommend New Generation Painting. You won't be disappointed."

    "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."

    "We recently hired them to repaint our entire house, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From the very first contact, they were incredibly professional and responsive. They listened carefully to our needs and provided a competitive quote. But what truly impressed us was their speed and efficiency. They completed the entire project â both the floorsâ in just two weeks! We were worried about such a tight deadline, but they assured us they could handle it, and they absolutely delivered. The crew was fantastic â punctual, courteous, and meticulous in their work. They kept the worksite clean and tidy throughout the project. The finished product is stunning! The paint job is flawless, and the house looks brand new. We're so grateful for Red Moon Painting Companyâ s hard work and dedication. They made the whole process stress-free and enjoyable. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch painting company. **Highly recommend!**"

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!"

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.
