"Randy and son were on-time. They studied the door frame and planned out what they were going to do. 25 minutes later the door was swinging and latching perfectly. Wisest decision I've ever made to get a professional to do a job that I would have made worse."
Jeffrey W. in October 2022
"Deivson Pinheirosu and his amazing Emerson Home Improvement team provided an exceptional finished product to our entire 43-year-old home. Completely removed popcorn ceilings, old wallpaper, painted all stained trim and walls, flawlessly repaired holes, taping, and scratches, installed new door hardware. Updated a bathroom with new closet and vanity. Removed old carpeting for new floor install and installed new 5 and 1/4 baseboard throughout home. The results are astounding, the surfaces look new. Deivson provided attention to detail, made recommendations, was always prompt and communicative and extremely professional."

"When I fought a house, Sami had replaced 98% of old (almost breaking) copper plumbing as well as added a new bathroom, moved the kitchen, and relocated the washer/dryer. Needless to say, it was quite an extensive plumbing project that he completed quickly & without any leaks/surprises. Been using them for almost 3 years now with no issues"

"I highly recommend Shaun and his crew. We had an unusual situation—a previous siding job was terribly done by an unqualified contractor and needed to be fixed. The siding itself was in good condition but needed to be taken down and reinstalled correctly. Shaun agreed to take on the job, and the end result looks beautiful and is much more secure. They finished the job quickly and left the place cleaner than before. Shaun is professional, polite, and explained every step of the process in plain terms and answered all of our questions. I would definitely hire him again!"

They were here when they said they would be and finished on time, even though we had asked him to paint a few more things than was originally planned. They were so professional and courteous and I would highly recommend them."

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.
