Service Pros
Painting
"Phil was the 1st painter to come and give us an estimate. We liked him from the moment he entered our home. He was on time, polite and able to start the next day. He did a great job and would definitely hire him again. We love, love, love our red room."

"We contacted Mainecoast Painting and Rodney Toothacre immediately returned our call. He came and estimated the job, recommended solutions to some of our problems (moldy walls in the basement, gaping holes in the wall from removed wood stoves), and gave us a quote within days. We scheduled the work and his crew showed up as planned. They covered all our furniture in plastic for protection and laid ground cloths everywhere. In terms of quality, we are delighted with how they patched the 2' x 2' holes in the wall so that we can't even detect where they were. Plus they carefully fixed all gouges and nail holes in the walls and ceiling so that everything was smooth and ready for painting. Then they painted it, professionally detailing around the stained wood trim on all the doors and windows. Just as they were finishing up, we were so pleased with the work that we asked them to paint yet another wall up an open stairway to the second floor. We agreed a change order and they knocked it out in short order too. Overall we are very satisfied with the quality and timeliness of the work. Plus Rodney either answers your call on the spot or returns it quickly. He clearly puts much effort into assuring good communication before, during, and even after the job."

"The quality of the work was great. â The paint looks terrific, we love it!!â He used a HEPA vacuum cleaner/sander on the walls & cleaned door knobs, etc. on his way out in accordance with CDC protocols. He was super easy going and personable. Prompt estimate and scheduling of the work (both of which he adhered to)."

"Our deck was a disaster. Paint was peeling off all over. We hired Costellos and now I cant wait to have people come see it. The entire crew were polite and hard working. Bart kept us informed every step of the way. Our deck is absolutely beautiful now. We were very impressed with the clean up. When they power washed our deck pieces of paint flew out into our yard, they picked up every single piece. We would hire them again positively."

"These guys did a great job on my big old house. Had them replace a some rotted wood siding and paint the entire thing. A 130 year old house is never gonna look brand new, but it looks 10000000x better than it did before. Would definitely recommend them."

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.
