"Jairo was easy to work with. Did a great job re-installing our front exterior door. Our original contractor could not figure out how to set the door correctly. You could see daylight through the top of the door. Jairo was able to fix our door perfectly and quickly. We already asked for a quote for a new project."

"We had mold on the bedroom ceiling and needed to replace the entire ceiling, installation, a part of the wall, and some of the wood. He repainted the entire room as well. The owner was on the job the entire time which was good because some people leave the workers and never check the work."

"In a time when it is very hard to find prompt response, quality service, and knows how & what they do and do it well, I found Ivan!! VP Painting Company was so very easy to work with, called right away after entering my info, came out in 2 days to give me an estimate, and the way Ivan explained his process in doing the job made my husband & I feel confident in his work. He emailed the estimate to me within hours on the same day and 3 days later came to do the painting. Two men (Ivan & another gentleman) came to repair cracks in the ceilings and walls in 5 rooms and a door in a bathroom. They did an excellent job and repaired more areas than the ones we pointed out originally. They were not in a rush, they took their time, they knew how to prepare the areas before painting, (unlike the previous painters who didn't know the proper way to prepare before painting), scraped loose paint off, some areas needed to be lightly floated, sanded, primed and then painted. The finished job that VP Painting did was awesome!! I'm so happy I found a great painter/painting company!!! I would recommend them to family & friends and definitely have them again for any future painting projects!! A+++"

"James was very responsive and excellent with communication. Through the process of changing our water heater I learned much more than I expected about plumbing. Bruce and James stayed late to help us finish our water heater replacement so we wouldn't be left without water. They also helped us identify pipes that are no longer used in homes because of the likelihood they will fail. If your house was built between 2004 and 2009, check your attics for Kitec or IPEX pipes and fittings. You could be in for a big problem if they aren't replaced. Thanks James for your help! Look forward to you adding our outdoor shower soon!"

"John is a super nice guy, and he explains everything that he plans on doing before actually doing the job. John close in the drywalls and put in borders surrounding the sliding glass door I had installed. He also finishes the job by painting the wall to match and he redid the ceiling. The job came out superb. I will download pictures later. Thanks again, John!"

"I recently hired Alpha to renovate the exterior of my home. The scope of their work included structural repairs from termite damage, new siding, gutters/downspouts, painting, and new doors. Throughout the process, Sergio and his crew were very professional and completed high quality work. He communicated very well, readily answered questions that I had, was flexible with his schedule, and always made sure I was satisfied with the work performed. I would definitely recommend his services 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.
