    "I hired Jersey Pro to fix my cracked wall, which is built upon a partial old foundation, with stucco. Angelo and his team, Loca and Jimmy, are easy going, wonderful to work with. Angelo and his team are so pleasant, professional and detailed orientated. Angelo is so patient, and explainted all details and answered all my questions when he did the estimate. Plus, he gave a quite reasonable price. I’d like Jersey Pro help me solve the major wall cracks and some other repairing jobs, such as, fissures on the concrete sidewalk, pop-up vinyl siding, tiny cracks on the steps, etc. Angelo and his team not only did excellent work for all of these on time, they also clean all debris. Anyone who has experience with contactors may have concern on their punctuality. Angelo and his team are excellent on that. The first time when Angelo came over to evaluate the project, he called me let me know he may be late about 30min. Then he came exactly the time he promised. On the 1st day of the project, Angelo said they would come around 9:00 am. In that morning at 9:00 o’clock, a pile of well stacked cement already loaded on my driveway!!! On the 2nd day of the project, Angelo’s team showed up at 8:30 am and started the job on perfect time. After all, I like Angelo and his team for their professional, excellent and punctual service, details oriented working attitude, and reasonable price. It was pleasant to work with Jersey Pro. No doubt, I will recommend Jersey Pro to everyone I know."

Every day there was a supervisor to check on the status of the job and to keep us updated. The crew was very clean and protected the surrounding walls and floors. The other areas of the house were taped off from the kitchen to prevent any dust from spreading. They worked hard and did a professional job! Would rehire them in a heartbeat.

    "Terrific experience. I've used other contractors and have had mixed results. Spack Tack tells you up front what to expect and they stick to their word. I understood the quote and it was competitive. Hector, owner, maintained communication and provided updates throughout the project. As he saw other small additional work that would enhance my home, then he followed up with recommendations with reasonable quotes to get the work done. I have no complaints. Hector is honest and straight forward. You will have no regrets if you want integrity and good workmanship in the contractor you hire. I will always use Hector, Spack Tack going forward. I had full interior painting with closets included. I had floors resurfaced with new color. New recessed lighting in ceiling, new light switches and covers, new cabinet handles. My home looks amazing using Hector's recommendations and executing professional workmanship from his crew."

    "I interviewed several Contractors to paint my kitchen cabinets, and complete other miscellaneous repairs. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed by the exasperated price estimates and the failure of those Contractors to commit to completing the job. After such disappointments, I am very happy to say that I was referred to the Paint Plus (PP) Team. PP came through for my home painting projects and beyond, and is now my go to Contractor! After viewing, via Facebook, the impressive photos/videos of the paint project transformations, both large and small, that PP completed, I made my initial contact to Jhon of PP. He was quick to reply, and establish an estimate/consultation appointment. Following our meeting, I knew I made the right choice, by choosing the Paint Plus Team for my home improvement needs. Jhon displayed a great deal of knowledge, patience and professionalism, while discussing my vision, which are very important to me. Below is a list of the work completed by the PP Team: 1. Removed old floor molding and replaced with larger molding. Filled in large gap between hardwood flooring with shoe molding. 2. Painted 2 year old maple color cabinets white. The finish looks like the factory finish. A very detailed wine rack was painted very precisely. 3. Installed a very challenging storm door. Replaced the molding around the door, and repainted. My entrance is now delightfully inviting. 4. Repaired, patched and painted several holes from wall phishing, which now look undetectable. 5. Painted ceiling and touched up several areas. 6. Installed door stopper and re-caulked tub area The PP Team arrived timely and worked diligently every day to accomplish completing my job in approximately 3 days. Every additional task that I asked the Team to complete was done with a pleasant attitude, and a genuine desire to make sure I was fully satisfied with the work performed. The price I paid was fair, and of great value for the quality of work done by the PP Team. Finding Contractors that you can trust to get the job done can be a very daunting task. I am elated to know that I now have the Paint Plus Team to call for my next home project. Thank you Jhon, Uncle, Papi1 and Papi2 for bringing my vision to life! I look forward to the wonderful quality work that I know you all will do for the next Phase of my home projects!"

    "We hired A1 for two jobs. The first one was to repair a fireplace chimney. We had water coming down the chimney into the fireplace. They had to remove and replace top 10 tiers of brick, concrete, recap and paint the exterior. They were on time, professional, fairly priced and did a very good job. Clean worksite and easy to work with. It's been a few months and still no leaks. Just recently we had some roof damage in a totally unrelated area, opposite side of the roof and called Tony once again. Water was pouring into. our attic. In the middle of a storm Tony came, got up on a ladder to out two story roof and tarped it to prevent further water damage. He then came back and took care of all the repairs after the storm was over. He is a hard worker with great work ethic. Does the job properly and knows his stuff. We would hire him again and recommend ."

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.
