"Awesome experience; Jose was very responsive and showed us a lot of paint samples until we got exactly what we wanted. Showed up on time and finished early. His crew was hard working and very careful of not damaging anything. Cleaned up everything too. Will definitely use them again."

"Touchstone Painting is unequalled. A couple of years ago, Jonathan Richards painted a bedroom for me and last year painted the shudders outside my house. The shudders had faded significantly but still had a texture to them that many painters would not have preserved. Jonathan not only preserved the texture, but matched the color of the previous shudders perfectly. A year later after four seasons, the shudders still look amazing! When he painted my bedroom, I told him he needn’t use a drop cloth since I was replacing the carpet. Even without a drop cloth, I think I saw maybe 2 spots. Jonathan’s work is without equal. I highly recommend him!"

"We have done several painting jobs with Jorge and would hire him again in the future! Very detailed, trustworthy and knowledgeable about finishes and products to use for your projects. Also, very responsive to calls and text messages and shows up ready every time we schedule work. All the painting work that Jorge has done for us, interior and exterior, looks fantastic."

"The Painter from Big League did exceptional work on the two interior stairwells of our condo then offered to help me complete a small additional painting project that used the same paint. A very professional operation and worth every penny!"

"We hired professional painter when we bought our home. We had walls, trims, and railings. He did an amazing job. Very thorough. I did not find any missed spots. On top of that, he is very clean. Other than the smell of fresh paint, you would never know you had a contractor in the house. Highly recommend!"

We make finding a painter easy. Simply 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.

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.

Painters usually supply their own paint. They have access to contractor discounts and usually buy in bulk, meaning you pay less for higher quality paint. You should still ask what kind they use and do a little research to make sure you approve.

Choosing between rolling or spraying an exterior depends on a lot of factors, including climate, wind, siding type, house shape and height. Your pro will know which method provides better results.
