"He did more than expected, he took care of the prep work. He was the most budget friendly of the estimates I received. Once he started he did not stop and do other work elsewhere. We had a little bit of a language barrier, but we did fine writing instructions and expectations. I have more work for him here and will be reaching out to him shortly."

"We've hired Oliver for various projects on two different homes as we moved (interior painting, exterior painting, lots of interior work) since 2019, when someone we respect recommended Oliver, and we are so pleased to work with him! Oliver's attention to detail, deep respect for the client, and all-around quality is so rare. Every project is done better than we expected. Oliver is dependable and prompt, and goes out of his way to offer maximum value and genuine care for the project he's working on. We hired him to paint the outside of our home this year and we trust him completely. Can't wait to see the outcome!"

"I had a great experience working with Alex and his team at Gold Painting. Alex provided a very reasonable estimate compared to all the others I received and he was a great project lead communicator. The team he sent was very professional and easy to work with and definitely experienced.. They worked every day until the job was done and also took my feedback into consideration over a couple rounds of final walkthroughs as the project was nearing completion and completed all the details and changes I asked for. Would 100% work with them again for any painting job."

"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."

"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!"

"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."

I will most certainly contact him again when I need more work done. I feel I can assure you you are not going to find a better plasterer or painter. A happy customer."

"We were so pleased with the professional care we received from Eric from start to finish. The painting crew were great, and knew what to do. They finish the job on time, they did everything and more than we expected. They cleaned up completely and used special attention not to step on plants, etc. We can honestly say these has been the best experience with a paint company we have ever had. If you are considering them feel confident they will do an excellent job. Our antique home and picket fence has never looked better."

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.
