    "I can not say enough good things about this talented group and the transformative work they did to my home! I bought a 70 year old home and HGE replaced my roof, gutters, rotted wood paneling and painted the exterior of my home and studio. The house is now a stand out on my block-Vibrant and frankly looks brand new! This young but seasoned group talked me through each phase, their pricing was more than fair and the staff was timely, courteous and did a meticulous and gorgeous job! Thank you Jamie, Ronny and Max! Much Appreciated!!!"

    "Frank did a great job getting our house ready for sale. He was flexible in working with us, as we were across the country. He very clearly knew what he was doing, made great recommendations, and was very reasonably priced. He painted our entire interior and parts of the exterior, painted our Kitchen cabinets, did a number of repairs, and laid a paver patio, doing a great job on each one. Highly recommended."

    "We will definitely hire them again and we will highly recommend them to anyone needing their services. They promptly answered our initial query and gave us a fair quote. We were in the process of moving and desperately needed help fixing our home to get it ready to go on the market. They are good at many different services besides painting, so in addition to painting all of the walls and trim in our townhome (a huge job in itself!), they also repaired our fence, replaced some concrete in our sidewalk that had cracked, re-stained our back deck, and re-painted our outdoor railing. You can tell that Bledar and Vaciel, who are the owners, take a lot of pride in their work - 5-stars!"

    "Juan and his team did an exceptional job helping us renovate . We hired them to paint several large and small spaces in our house, and each was handled with meticulous care. Beyond just painting, their wainscoting, molding and trim work are absolutely beautiful. Better than we expected. From start to finish, they were timely, respectful, professional and courteous - every piece of furniture that had to be moved was put back where they found it, and they fixed things such as patching up old holes in doors without us even having to ask. We look forward to hiring Juan again! Highly recommend."

    "This was my first time hiring a worker to work on my first home. Iâ ve known Jason personally for over 15 years. And heâ s always been an honest and straight forward person. He goes out his way to take care of anyone weather if itâ s business or not. The worker he sent to fix my door was on time, he did great work, he was reasonably priced, and he repaired my damaged door as if nothing happened. Overall great experience and would definitely recommend my friends and family for any needed home improvement work throughout the DMV area."

    "Luis is a real gem and Iâ d definitely recommend him and his crews to all my friends. I was a bit nervous initially as I was trying to hire someone whom I have not met before to get some work done in DC while I was still out of the country. After reviewing through reviews, I knew he was the right person to handle the painting, kitchen flooring, and other stuff in the house. Heâ s a top notch professional and keeps me updated throughout the process. He knew exactly what he needed to do and provided some recommendations on the flooring types. Everything went well and the quality was excellent. We hired him for additional work in the basement and as expected, my home looks fabulous now. Highly recommend Luis to everyone!!"

They are very professional and communicated well on timing. This is short notice for them to do the work because my former contractor didnâ t do the job so they came to the rescue. Highly recommended"

    "I hired Paint the DMV to paint my exterior siding (Hardee board) and trim that also included doing some minor repair work and replacing the caulking. In addition, they mudded and sanded and painted my two car garage. The quality of the work was outstanding. The painters from Paint the DMV were very detailed oriented and cleaned up every day. In addition to the quality work, the customer communication and service was excellent. Marvin contacted me in advance of the project to lay out the schedule and arrival times. When they said the would be there at 0830AM - they arrived at 08:15AM. Marvin kept up on the weather and if rain was coming he coordinated schedule changes directly with me and did a close out call every day. I would definitely recommend Paint the DMV and I plan to use them on future projects."

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.
