"Great job from everyone at Luis Painting Company for being responsive and punctual with the first contact, plus the Owner (Luis) was very helpful in editing the proposal to better reflect the homeowner's goals and finished result expectations. The Luis Painting crew (3) pressure-washed the exterior, replaced all the trim wood affected by dry rot, filled the stucco cracks with the appropriate compound, and thoroughly prepped the exterior for two coats of high-grade Benjamin Moore paint. Although the original job schedule date slipped, Luis and his crew expended maximum efforts to complete the project by September 30, 2025, and completed the work early. The finished painting was done with professionalism, quality workmanship, and attention to detail. Throughout the project, Luis communicated with the homeowner the work plan, daily work schedule, and progress made during the workday. Luis' crew was on-site each day by 800 AM and worked diligently to deliver the project by the deadline."

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.
