Service Pros

    EmeraldPro Painting of Northern Utah Logo
    Farmington, UT·

    Concrete Floor Coating, Interior Painting

    "We are totally happy with EmeraldPro Painters. We’ve hired many contractors over the past 12 years, and this experience has by far been the best. Cameron’s crew, Wayne, Colton and Weston went above and beyond. We had the ceilings, walls, closets, mantle and carport completely patched, texturized and painted in 7 working days. We could not be happier with this positive experience for once. EmeraldPro Painting provided top notch professional service at a very reasonable price and in a very timely manner. Highly Recommended! Thanks guys!"

    Interior and Exterior, Residential Repainting

    "We were looking for a painting company to paint our entrance, staircase and living room, including all trim and crown moldings. We had dark brown trim and wanted to paint it white but did not want to loose the old feel of the house, we were slightly nervous about making the change and were very particular about who we would hired. Daren immediately made us feel at ease with the change and his expert knowledge about paint helped us choose the right type to get the look we were after. We highly recommend Daren's team; great quality, on time and on budget, great customer service all the way. We will be back next time we need painting done!"

    Handyman for Multiple Small Projects, Gutters

    "Our fences and porch and patio we damaged by the September windstorm. The people recommended by our insurance company were useless. We hunted around and found Amuri with M.A.C. Atlantic. He came right out and gave us an itemized bid -- which we hadn't been able to get from anyone else. They arrived timely. Every day Amuri explained what they had done and what would be doing next, and made sure we approved. The final work (one completely replaced fence, one repaired fence, new railings for the porch, new support posts for the patio and paint) is excellent. We liked them so much, we're going to have them build our shed in the Spring. We would HIGHLY recommend Amuri and M.A.C. Atlantic to anyone."

    "J&M did a great job on my main floor remodel painting. Billy was always quick to respond and worked with me when I had schedule changes. Marcelo covered the painting and he was respectful to work with and did a good job. There were a few touch up issues which they took care of the day of our final walk-through. They even did a last minute color change on my bathroom when I couldn't stand the new color of the walls with the existing cabinets. All in all a good experience and I would use J&M again if I ever hire out painting in the future."

    Painter 1 of Greater SLC Logo
    Murray, UT·

    Residential Painting, Commercial Painting

    "So pleased with the services provided by Painter1. I would highly recommend them. The proposal was laid out room-by-room and every item was individually priced. It was very transparent and easy to follow what was being charged for each room, celling, closet, etc. We had three different bids and Painter1 came in with the lowest bid. At the time we chose them they were offering a 15% discount. They have great customer service and response times and no hidden fees or add on charges. Charles White did our paining, if possible ask for him- he was amazing to work with. Charles went above and beyond to help us with a remodel of a house built in the late 70s. We ended up painting all of the interior, interior-trim, exterior, doors, and closets basically everything was updated. He was a true professional in helping us with colors, explaining lighting- assuring the colors we chose was actually going to be what we wanted. His craftsmanship is an art. Charles brings a little southern charm and 20 yrs of painting experience. Youll be thrilled with the results- honestly this house looks brand new after he was done painting."

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.

  1. Do your research. Understand what to expect and what to look for in a pro. Look at paint types, prices and costs.
    1. Interior home painting costs $1,000-$2,800
    2. Exterior painting costs $1,700-$4,100
    3. Painting a ceiling costs $150-$350
    4. Painting cabinets costs $350-$1,200
    5. Trim painting costs $500-$1,500
    6. Calculate paint coverage
  2. Call pros for site inspections and estimates. Always get three to five estimates.
  3. Check references, compare quotes, look at past work. After you have estimates in hand, do one final pass to compare the contractors.
  4. 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.

  1. 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.
  2. Are you licensed and insured? Not all states require a license for painting homes, but many do. Always use one that’s insured.
  3. Do you belong to any professional organizations? You’ll find many online, like the Painting Contractors Association or the Finishing Contractors Association?
  4. 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.
  5. How long will the job take? Get a rough estimate but get it in writing.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Can you supply a written estimate and contract? Never use a painter who isn’t willing to put his work in writing.
