"Did good work. But he had trouble with time management- if you need the job done ASAP- you need to be sure you have understanding with the contractor. Otherwise, very nice and cleaned up after himself."

"Hiring a Pro can sometimes be a long, painful process, especially with budgeting. Rubi Painting made it SO easy to get in touch, discuss my project, and execute within the time frame needed. Josue worked with me from initial onset to completion and was not only professional, he was responsive, competitive (cost), friendly, hard-working, and has proficient attention to detail. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for your painting needs!!!"

"Orlin Painting did a fantastic job on my project. I had them do the entire house walls/trim, kitchen cabinets and smooth out a textured ceiling. The work was done on time, on budget and truly exceeded my expectations! The painters were professional and very clean and the entire house was cleaned upon completion of the project. I highly recommend Orlin Paining."

"We have worked with Balteza Property Services on several home projects and they are always wonderful! Theyâ ve painted our wood paneled room (and fixed issues along the way), repaired damaged drywall in and painted our kitchen, painted our front door, repaired a damaged hallway wall, installed an outlet, and installed a light fixture. They are easy to schedule, we trust them to work on projects while weâ re away, and the end result always surpasses expectations. Happy to work with again in the future and to recommend."

"I recently hired the power washing services of this company, and I must say they did a great job. From the moment they arrived, it was clear that they were professional and respectful. They took the time to explain the process and answer any questions I had. The power washing itself was top-notch. They effectively removed years of built-up grime and mold from my siding, leaving it looking like new. The attention to detail was impressive, as they didn't miss a spot. They also took care not to damage any of the surrounding landscaping or property. What truly stood out, though, was their respect for my property and me as a customer. They were punctual, completed the work efficiently, and cleaned up after themselves, leaving my property in better condition than they found it. Their pricing was fair, and there were no hidden fees or surprises. I highly recommend this power washing company for their exceptional service, professionalism, and respect for their customers and their property. I will definitely be using their services again in the future."

"I can’t say enough about Bruce and Yuri. Outstanding communicators and workmanship. Yuri is a man of integrity which is rare these days. They finished our master bathroom which was left frankly a mess by a previous contractor who did not complete the job. They went over and beyond to correct someone’s else’s work. And the bathroom YCR remodeled was excellent. They have experts to come in each phase.. we will definitely look to them in the future God willing.. thank you Bruce and Yuri!!"

"Let me first start off by saying Luis is the BEST find ever!! I was hesitant because there were no reviews but when I met him for the estimate I immediately knew he was the one for the job. I had a front door to repaint and replace the hardware. Luis came on time with two helpers. They worked steadily all day with a break for lunch until 5:30pm. Luis even did an extra job while the paint dried. He and his helpers removed a very large storm window so I could clean it, but then they cleaned it too! It didn't quite fit back into place as it was an old wooden frame and he needed to saw off some and repair some wood rot. Everything was done to perfection! Cleaned up everything and they were so pleasant all day long. I highly recommend Luis and wish him well with his business."

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.
