"They are a very caring crew. They not only did the repairs but went above and beyond to make sure that it was done correctly and wouldn't have any problems in the future. This is a rare find because several people have done just the bare minimum at my house, and I ended up having to hire this crew to redo some things. I definitely will use them again and recommend them to all my friends."

"Nesfa and LIon Heart put down my natural hickory laminate floors-9oo sq ft in 3 days. Their work is impeccable and seamless. They removed all carpeting and tiles in half a day. Professionally informed, using the best underlay for sound and moisture reduction and softness.. Nesfa drove the extra mile to find the perfect T_transition strips and 3 1/2 inch bevelled moulding which has considerably upgraded and enhanced the of the rooms. At my last minute request , they quickly taped and painted all the mouldings in one hour. Nefsa has excellent taste in home materials , an eye for colour, helpful suggestions and solutions. MY house looks new, now. ALL this was done with extreme social distancing: Myself in Quebec canada communicating hourly with Nesfa in Palm Bay through iphone texts and photos when making decisions. Nesfa is polite, punctual, returns every call and follows up, And his quote was the most reasonable, I think we will be hiring Lion Heart to do our bathroom tiling next . Highly recommend ."

"I needed to replace my 53' x 12-15' deck, which is also my front porch, completely. I had to let my first contractor go because of continued postponements. I had the permits and the posts and framing was done and passed inspection and the deck boards were on site, but that's it. Two other contractors didn't bother to even quote the cost for finishing. Nick did and was very reasonable. He pointed out major errors in the railing system on the part of the first contractor, installed the decking, posts, rails and cable railing, lattice work, stairs and trim. ALL BY HIMSELF IN 10 DAYS. I didn't think it possible! The work is very well done. Every time I had a suggestion or concern on how to proceed with some aspect of the project, Nick either had already thought of it or had a better idea. He is very knowledgeable about his profession. I strongly recommend him and will use him again for future projects."

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.
