"Augusto was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the project. He was very reliable, showing up as scheduled for both the estimate and the 2 day work, which involved both carpentry and painting. He was very easy to get in touch with, either through e-mail or by phone. I strongly recommend Cesar Painting."

"We used Tony Davis and Time Perfected Construction for two jobs recently. First one was to replace the vinyl siding on one side of our house that was wrecked by hail. Tony and his team were timely, easy to work with, and did a great job, and at less than the insurance estimate. The second job, just completed, was repairing all the wood trim on my house, and also replacing the stringers on the back deck stairs. Again, Tony and his team were timely, friendly and did a great job at a very reasonable price. Tony even recommended several "extras" (like repainting our shutters, which he included at no extra charge) to ensure the house looked great when he was done. We are very pleased with every aspect of Tony's work, and we highly recommend Time Perfected Construction to others."

"Lavelle Painting did wonderful work in a very extensive exterior project. We had bought a 300+ year old house that had many carpentry and exterior repairs in addition to the painting. Mike had some great people working for him who restored the exterior beautifully and handling some surprises along the way. Ended up being a good bit higher than the quote, but they were very good about explaining what they were finding, and we came in expecting the extra effort given the age of the structure. Highly recommend!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with NG Painting, led by Leonardo and his father, for a complete interior painting of my home. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Leonardo and his father demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise. They meticulously prepared each room, ensuring that all surfaces were properly primed and ready for painting. Their attention to detail was evident in every brushstroke, and the final result was flawless. The team was punctual, respectful, and maintained a clean work environment throughout the project. They were also incredibly accommodating to my schedule and needs, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. What truly sets NG Painting apart is their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Leonardo and his father took the time to understand my vision and provided valuable suggestions to enhance the overall look of my home. Their passion for their craft is evident, and it reflects in the stunning transformation of my living space. I highly recommend NG Painting to anyone in need of professional painting services. Leonardo and his father are true artisans who take pride in their work, and it shows. My home has never looked better, and I am beyond thrilled with the results.

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.

Interior painting can be an inexpensive and creative way for homeowners to demonstrate their style and personality. There are numerous colors and textures of paint available, including options with extra or no shine. Whether you choose to paint your entire home, a single room, or just an accent wall, a new coat of paint is a great way to give your interior a facelift without a lot of investment.
Although painting a room sounds easy, it can be difficult for inexperienced individuals to coat a room evenly. Too much paint and bubbles start to form, while using too little paint can leave sections pale and off-color. Hiring a professional interior painter near you can eliminate these problems. Plus, a pro can offer color and paint type suggestions, ensure that paint doesn't get on your furniture and floor, and may be able to offer specialty finishes and patterns.
