    Handyman

    "I have had the pleasure of working with Chris Mikaska for 3 years for various projects around my home, and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with his work. Chris is a true professional, who is prompt, communicative, and honest. He completed a wide range of projects for me, including faucet replacement, several light fixture installations, drywall repair, exhaust installation, door repair, door replacement, painting, and many others. Not only did he do an outstanding job with each project, but he also fixed bad work done by others. I even trusted Chris with my garage code so he could come in while I was away to do the work. He took great care with my property and made sure to clean up after himself, which was greatly appreciated. I was especially grateful for Chris's help in getting my home ready to sell. His work helped me sell my house quickly and for a great price. He made sure that every project was completed to the highest standard and exceeded my expectations. Overall, I highly recommend Chris Mikaska for any handyman services you may need. His professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail are truly exceptional. If you want high-quality work done right, Chris is the person to call."

    "McGregory painting was everything I hoped for and more. Not only did Luke finish ahead of the schedule we agreed on, he did extra work just to make sure everything was perfect. Not a drop of splattered paint or speck of dust left behind either. From start to finished project, pleased every step of the way. Hire them."

    "Sadot was very professional to work with. He was on time for the consult meeting and the days he was here working. I had the ceiling in the entire house patched and painted along with painting all my trim and baseboards white. The ceiling had a spot that wasn't cooperating with the patch work and Sadot stuck with it and made sure it was done correctly. I am extremely happy with my experience and the work he did. I will definitely call him again when I need more painting done."

    "A team of 4 painters painted all of our walls, ceilings , trim, baseboards and doors. Our living room has a cathedral ceiling which makes painting more challenging but they definitely knew what they were doing!! We have a 3 level townhouse with 2 baths, 2 bedrooms, a family room in the basement, kitchen, dining room & living room. They completed the project in 5 days when other painters gave us estimates of 2 weeks and longer. They beat everyone elseâ s price and we got about 8 estimates. Jovany noticed a problem with an outside outlet and installed the correct one. He gave us great ideas for lighting.. He installed a newer type of ceiling lightening, which is absolutely beautiful! Our house has many angles and Cory helped me with choosing the best areas to paint the darker shade. And it looks fabulous! All of the crew are pleasant, courteous and accommodating. Our internet went out and on the last day, the Xfinity man was here and the poor guys worked around the Xfinity man, even helped him with a ladder so he could go in the attic. Cory washed our ceiling fan for us and let me add that itâ s about 15-20 ft. high! We had the Plummer out before they started painting and he had to cut a hole in the wall. They dry walled and patch the hole, no extra cost and it looks perfect! They were very respectful of our furniture. They went above and beyond! The paint job is perfect!!! I canâ t wait to have friends and family over to show off our new and improved home!!!"

    Painting, Painting, Drywall repair

    "We have hired J and J Decorating a few times mainly for interior painting, but John does great drywall and plaster work. On one occasion, we had a leak in our upstairs bathroom which required a portion (about 3x5 foot section) of our kitchen ceiling to be replaced. After completion, we could not and still cannot tell where the ceiling was patched. John is very helpful with color and paint type selection and offers good advice on the scope of work. He keeps a clean workplace and his estimates including schedule are very reasonable. Other projects we have hired John and crew: * Bathroom remodel (drywall and painting) * Complete interior house painting. * Patching and painting transom window box. John will be definitely our first choice for our next project."

    "On time ! Very important. I had the doors, trim,ceiling and walls painted.I cannot believe my house looks so beautiful and is transformed. A fresh coat of paint on my doors made them look new and saved me a ton of cash because they don't have to be replaced. The entire team of painters were amazing...even the owner was on the job, cleaned up after them selves, very careful when moving furniture and everything was put back - pictures, metal little picture frame with beloved Disney picture and hung the surround sound speakers. I inspected the house on hands and knees. Perfect everywhere !"

    "Started the job when they said they would. Made me aware of a leak in the outdoor faucet pipe. They could have ignored it and I wouldn't have known about it and they could have just put the siding up over it. Then they fixed it. After they finished painting, a corner of the house was damaged by squirrels. Once the squirrels were caught and removed, they fixed the wood damage and repainted, with no charge. Had some finishing up issues, Jose took care of them all. I think the house looks great."

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.
