Finding someone to paint kitchen cabinets with skill was not easy, but Iâ m glad I made the jump with Roman and his company. 10/10 would recommend for someone looking to update a kitchen when you still have cabinets in good shape."

And then painted the ceiling, kitchen and multiple bedrooms. Communication was easily and quick, they finished on time, and were our cheapest bid. We look forward to using them again"

    "We are very pleased with the painting work our contractor, SHANCO Restoration Services, performed on our home recently. Our two-story home, including the basement, was originally constructed in 1990. We moved to this house in 2014. The house was apparently last painted in 2011 and the paint and siding itself were still in pretty good shape, except the color didnâ t suit us. To ensure our expectations were met, we prepared a detailed Scope of Work upon which bids were solicited (including the make, â model,â and color of paint to be used). We required 2 coats of both the base color and the trim color. We received 6 wide-ranging bids. Although its bid was â middle-of-the-pack,â SHANCOâ s bid actually incorporated our Scope into its bid document, which gave us confidence our desires would be followed. So we awarded them the contract. Most of the house has LP composite siding, so the painters had to be very careful when pressure washing. Although the old paint wasnâ t pealing, the high bidder actually wanted to strip the old paint; this process would likely have required us to fully re-side the house given the fragility of the LP siding! The cleaning, masking and painting work took only 5 days! The size of SHANCOâ s highly-qualified crews varied, depending on the work required any particular day. And as expected, the workers were very cooperative in following the Scope, right down to the smallest detail for masking trim boundaries. They tarped-over adjacent landscaping, concrete surfaces and our new TREX deck to prevent over-spray. The workers were very professional, competent, and friendly to us. They graciously touched-up areas we pointed out. When the painting was completed, they were very diligent in removing all masking materials and cleaning our yard and concrete surfaces of debris. We definitely recommend SHANCO to anyone with an exterior painting project, and we would be happy to use them in the future!"

Very detailed and with extensive knowledge of prepping and products on the market. End result is excellent."

    "We had our house painted in September. Mr. Lee and his family provided great quality service. Our house was completed in 1 day with several hours the next day for touch up work which is a plus since they found that insects landed on the wet painted columns the next day and had to repaint them. I received quotes from several other companies and Mr. Lee was the cheapest, including his knowledge of what's best for the house. Other companies said they'll caulk the siding connection gap but Mr. Lee said it's better to just paint between the gaps so the movement will not crack the paint making it look unsightly in a couple years. It turns out our house is Hardie Plank and you're not supposed to caulk the butt joints!!! I recommend Lee Best Painting for quality service at a great price."

    "Nader was on time for the estimate, and responded that afternoon with a quote. He also had the insight to give us some perceptive advice when our color selection was off base. He and his team were very punctual. The project work ( interior painting) was exceptionally good, finished on budget and one day early. His team moved our furniture without any issues. Nader was also very easy to reach throughout the effort. It was just great service. I hope to use him again for a hardwood floor installation in a few months."

    "We are very happy with how Serge was able to go through our list of home maintenance projects, and complete them all in less than 2 days. He repaired cracked plaster on walls, and repainted them; installed cabinet handles; fixed a short in a light switch; fixed a toilet; and re-grouted the tile in a shower. He was dependable, arriving on schedule, and easy to contact and communicate with. When we needed him to come back to retouch a small chip in the grout, he set up an appointment and prompting took care of it. He also provided an itemized list of costs soon after he visited our home to see what was needed to be done. We will be hiring him for future projects and highly recommend him to others."

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.
