    Lawn Care Maintenance, Landscaping

    "I recently hired HM PRO for several landscaping services, including tree removal, trimming, sod installation, seeding, and shed installation—and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The team was efficient and professional, handling everything with care. The tree removal and trimming were done perfectly, leaving my yard looking clean and neat. They also installed sod and seeded some bare patches, and I’m already seeing a great improvement in my lawn’s appearance. The shed installation was another highlight. It’s sturdy, well-built, and exactly what I needed for outdoor storage. I really appreciated the team’s attention to detail and their helpful suggestions throughout the process. What stood out the most was their communication. They were punctual, courteous, and always kept me informed. Every step was completed with quality in mind, and they made sure everything met my expectations. I highly recommend HM PRO for any landscaping project."

    "Cesar's attention to detail and workmanship are incredible. We have worked with him over several years across two houses, including panting our entire interior, staining a deck and painting railings, repairing a wall after a leak from the floor above that bubbled behind the paint, and fixing a 14" square hole in a ceiling cut to investigate a (different) leak. Each time he was thorough, very considerate of protecting our home/furniture, and did exceptional work. He is reliable, responsive and always on time. Can't recommend Cesar more highly!"

    Oscar Vico Painting Logo
    Fitchburg, MA·

    "Oscar Vico Painting proved to be as outstanding, in every way, as his reviews and reputation posted on line would indicate. His job for me included walls (some with wallpaper stripping and skim coating required) originally stained doors, both paneled and louvered (with frames, molding and baseboards), and a papered stairwell with a high half-wall, the final motivation that led me to a Pro. I will be forever grateful that Pro was Oscar Vico. Skilled and adept with the actual prep and painting, his efficient organizing and planning for every step was equally impressive. He always knew how to end the day at a logical break point, as he cruised to the finish line. His array of tools (including a kind of telescoping ladder that made short work of my stairway ceiling) was dazzling. Ive done plenty of indoor and outdoor painting in my life, proud of my own skills and knowledge, but not close to Oscars level. His choice for paint and stain aligns perfectly with what I know to be the best in those categories; just one of the many reasons I will be using Oscar to repaint and stain my homes exterior, just as soon as his busy schedule allows. Thank you Oscar Vico!"

    "Review for Alex Meléndez Home Services I recently hired Alex Meléndez Home Services for several home improvement projects at my new house and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. The work included: Installing an exterior door where none existed before. Installing new kitchen cabinets and a backsplash. Painting the interior of my house and all the exterior doors. Replacing the bathroom floor. Installing patio railings. Installing an exhaust fan for the bathroom. Installing a new storm door. From start to finish, everything was handled with great professionalism and attention to detail. Communication was clear throughout the entire process, and I was kept updated regularly. The expertise in each aspect of the project, from the cabinet installation to the precise paint job, was impressive. The quality of work exceeded my expectations, and the improvements have made a noticeable difference to my home. The new exterior door and other features have significantly enhanced the appearance, and the bathroom exhaust has improved ventilation. I highly recommend Alex Meléndez Home Services to anyone looking for reliable and skilled professionals for home improvements. The results were excellent, and I would not hesitate to hire them again for future projects."

    "As a long-time home owner who has hired many contractors over the past 43 years and as a detail oriented guy, I can say (unequivocally) that the crew at Gold Painting is second to NONE: punctual, meticulous, efficient, polite, eager to please and highly skilled. Tony and his brother, Rui, Nelci and his son, Yuriel, along with Sylvano, Hector and Milton completed power-washing, scraping, priming and top-coating the front of our barn & the street side of the house in 2.5 days. Their work was so exceptional that I hired them for a second project: prepping and painting the driveway facing side of the house, which they completed in just over two days. The guys appeared promptly at 8am on the final day, worked through lunch and were finished by mid-afternoon. Painting the porch decking was not specified in the proposal but when I asked, Tony (without hesitation) put Nelci and Milton on the task, which they completed quickly and expertly. I could not be more pleased with the results...on both projects. You may solicit multiple bids for your painting project (as I did), but you will not find a more skilled, conscientious, thorough and efficient company than Gold Painting. Contact the owner, Alex Silveira, for a proposal. You will be delighted with their excellent work at a reasonable price."

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.

Questions for Painters

You don't want to have your walls look worse by the end versus before you hired a professional. You want professional work that ends with a clean, beautiful appearance. So you need to hire the right painter who knows what you want and won't overcharge you for the job. Some questions to ask these professionals include about their:

  • Insurance
  • Who the crew involves
  • The materials and equipment used
  • Who's managing my project?
  • Do your workers have professional training?
  • Do you have references I can speak to?
  • How long is the warranty on my paint job?

Don't hesitate to ask all the questions you need to feel comfortable hiring a professional. You can also ask 3-4 professionals to make sure you have the right quote in mind. You must make sure they have a warranty or some kind of paperwork stipulating the quality of their jobs. Insurance is also a #1 priority to consider, as damage can happen in the process of painting.

Considerations

When you're having professionals in to paint, you need to think about:

  • Level of gloss (for interior walls)
  • Materials
  • Color choices
  • Removing or covering furniture
  • Matching the siding with the exterior trim

You want to go through all of these step by step with your professional. There could be parts you miss, and you definitely don't want paint in the wrong places or end up with brightly colored walls when you asked for neutral tones. You might even make a checklist to double-check before the work gets started.

Costs

The price to paint an interior versus an exterior depends on a few factors. For painting an exterior, you will pay about $2,600. This is because you have to account for the siding, making sure the weather doesn't affect the job and dealing with weather conditions. On the other hand, the price to paint a home interior is around $1,700 -- less to worry about other than keeping the flooring and furniture paint-free. If you want to do both the interior and exterior, talk to the painters about any deals or their opinion on timeline and how it affects your budget.
