"This was a very professional company. We hired them to repaint and refinish our kitchen cabinets. The crew did a fantastic job!. Every day there was a supervisor to check on the status of the job and to keep us updated. The crew was very clean and protected the surrounding walls and floors. The other areas of the house were taped off from the kitchen to prevent any dust from spreading. They worked hard and did a professional job! Would rehire them in a heartbeat. You will not be disappointed."

"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."

"James and Jay are the consummate professionals. Prompt, courteous, exceptionally tidy. They take pride in their work and it shows. If they said "we'll be there at 7:30am" they were. Their workmanship is top-notch - whether drywall, plaster, ceilings and now staining and finishing our custom built kitchen cabinets - I highly recommend them for any home project."

"I am getting ready to put my house on the market and needed my ceilings painted. Donlon reached out after I put in an inquiry and honestly, couldn’t ask for anything better. These guys beat every price in the area which was important, but also came out to get the work done within a week. Every other business was going to be “after the holidays” or early January. Job well done for sure, everything looks great, the crew cleaned up well, put everything back before leaving and the guys were respectful. They helped me out a ton by being the only people in the area who gave me a reasonable price for some other work I needed done before selling. Thanks guys! Definitely would recommend again!"

"Hired company for exterior painting of trim (windows, eaves, soffits, etc.) and porches of an old, tall house (some painting companies didn't want the job due to height). AJ scheduled our job quickly. AJ was accommodating and the painters were hard working, friendly and polite. AJ's quote was very fair. We hope to secure Custom Colonial for future projects."

"We are very pleased with the service and finished product. The owner, Dale, was easy to work with and the crew (Juan and Pedro) we had were through, efficient, polite, and did an excellent job. We had our entire townhouse painted, walls, ceilings, shoe molding, crown molding, all the trim and doors, and even the closets. The entire project took eight days which is what e anticipated. We were happy that they did not rush through it and remained attentive to details. We felt that the price was very fair. We would highly recommend Painters Plus and plan on using them again (specifically the same crew) when we finish a portion of our third floor in the coming months."

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.
