    "We recently had Dan at Valor Homes remodel our Kitchen. We didn't have the money to do it all at once, but he worked within our budget in steps over several months to help us get where we wanted it. Our cabinets were refinished and modified versus replacing them which saved LOTS of money. We had him split a cabinet and move it so that the stove working area was more functional also. We started last January and finished in mid June due to our budget needs. Valor homes was very easy to work with and went one step at a time as we could afford to for each step of the process. Dan worked tirelessly with my wife and I to give us recommendations for quality products and what would look best for our style home. We wanted light colored cabinets with dark countertops and dark backsplash. The vendors he put us in contact with to pick our building materials were top notch and I would not hesitate to recommend them to my closest friends. The work completed, including the tile work and perfect grout lines, painting the cabinets, the floor trim, plumbing and floor are perfect. In the end, my wife and I could not have been any happier with the way the kitchen turned out. If I were to do it all over again, Dan is the only guy I would contact again. Outstanding! THANK YOU for making things easy and affordable. You gave us a tremen"

    "I placed an inquiry for a roofing repair when I had an active water leak. William promptly contacted me and was able to come out the next day to evaluate the issue. He thoroughly explained in laymanâ s terms what was going on with my roof, siding, flashing, etc and what would need to be done in order to fix it. He also took the time to point out future things to pay attention to so that we can adequately address them in a timely manner. William was able to complete the work within a few days. Excellently priced and he never once tried to sell me work that didnâ t need done. Prior to my experience with William, I had several roofing companies come out for estimates regarding my repairs. One company tried to tell me I needed 2/3 of my roof replaced and quoted me over $10,000 worth of work - which I in fact did not need! If you want an honest, hard-working, quality contractor, William is your man. Top notch customer service, kindness, work ethic and quality. I couldnâ t have asked for better experience. We will be using him for all our future roofing and contracting needs."

They then replaced our molding around our windows and doors with hand crafted custom designed trim. They were very professional, and exceeded our expectations in every way. Our basement flooded a week later. We called them and they were able to come over, give us a price, and began work as soon as the basement was ready.

    "We were set to sign with someone else. He did not update his offer for us to sign as he intended to do Friday night. Robert Braun contacted me on Saturday morning. He can come out that morning to give us an estimate. Although his estimate was the highest we got, he was knowledgeable about the products he used and what the other company was using. He got up on the roof, took pictures, and discovered some things that the other guy did not find. We signed his contract that day and he came out in 3 days to prep the work. Due to rain, we had to wait till Friday. Job completed that day. I would definitely recommend him for roof work. In fact, he earned 2 more referrals from our neighbors. We are considering to hire him for other work on our home like repainting our siding, and installing an new fence."

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.
