"Raymond and Jeff were quick and efficient. They did a huge metal fence repainting job within a week. A few months later when the coats begin to set and there was evidence and missed topcoats, they returned to touch up at no-cost."

"Sobi was great to work with. He took time to review the project with me and provide feedback. He also discussed progress with me as he and his crew worked. He is diligent in wanting to do the job right with high quality. I would definitely hire him again and I have. Hired for a Paint or Stain Exterior -Sobi did a great job painting the exterior of my home. He took the time to prep, including replacement of squirrel chewed trim, before starting the actual painting. He talked to me about the process each day and worked with me on the paint color selection and also discussed paint brand quality. He always listened and discussed the choices with me. I was kept well informed through each step of the process. This project lasted 3 weeks from start to finish and he did a great job in also keeping the site tidy from day to day. Hired to Remodel Kitchen- I hired Sobi to remodel a small guest house. He replaced the entire kitchen, all light fixtures, electrical, all flooring and painted the entire interior. It has turned out so much better than I ever imagined. He took the guest house from 1990 to 2017. Sobi took me to look at and select the cabinets and natural stone for the countertops. He went above and beyond working with the Town to apply for and obtain a permit. It took hours to go through the process and he patiently waited and worked with the Town to make sure the permit was for the guest house, not the main house, and for my house (not a neighbors house). We ended up having to replace the electrical panel, but that was accommodated by Sobi and Nick the electrician. Third project Remodel bedrom-Sobi remodeled a bedroom that I have turned into a home office. The room is an addition from a previous owner and had only been minimally remodeled in the past. He textured the walls, changed out all electrical outlets, light switch, and light fixture. He added additional electrical outlets and replaced the closet doors. He then painted the entire room, priming and painting a built in book case. It turned out great. There had been some patching some water damage by a previous owner that you can no longer tell was ever there. The room is now modern and a great place to work at home."

"Jeff and crew were wonderful to work with. The did a fantastic job bringing new life to a very outdated kitchen (30+ year old virgin, never before painted, kitchen cabinets), sprucing up our little cottage outside and fixed and painting the outside walls of our garage to match the cottage! All-in-all, we would/will definitely hire Jefferson Painting for any and all future jobs that come up. Jeff was such a perfectionist and went above and beyond our wildest expectations! They did a great job!"

"Mike did a fantastic job. Super easy to communicate with and was very helpful making sure i had right kind of paint and the right amount. He did 2 ceilings, full kitchen, baseboards, and wainscoating. Always on time and professional, excellent job of taping and sealing off the non-paint areas. I highly recommend!!"

"Josh and his father, Mark have completed several paint jobs for us. They repainted the exterior of our home, painted kitchen and bathroom cabinets, all of our baseboards, and our new stair railings and risers. Their work is truly impeccable. They pay close attention to detail and spend probably a third of their work prepping the area to be painted. Caulking, patching and sanding, I have learned,this makes such a huge difference on the appearance and durability of your project. The exterior of our home was so beautiful that some of our neighbors have already hired them to repaint their homes. Our cabinets and stair railings are stunning. They painted the stair posts then noticed some imperfections in the wood, so worked to patch, sand and repaint so the the final product was flawless. They are quick to respond to inquiries and their prices are very competitive with other larger companies we got quotes from. It is so hard to find honest, reliable and talented contractors and I will always recommend them and continue to use their services for future painting projects."

"When we signed on with P.R.I. , we were already looking at a couple of oncoming storms, so the first thing they did was to protect us with a tarp -- Thank God! When the weather cleared, they set about replacing our very old, very leaky roof with a brand new, beautiful roof, repairing the damaged wood beneath as they went. Given the problematic pitch of the roof over our kitchen -- previously leak central -- Aggy (the owner) took care to use a different roofing material over our kitchen, to better accommodate and minimize standing water. When it was all done, we loved it so much that when Aggy said they also painted houses, we immediately followed the new roof with a new paint job. As the painting progressed, we were pleasantly surprised when they took care of things we hadn't expected, like priming and painting our garage and front & back doors to match (we really thought we were going to have to replace the garage door completely). And, just like the roof, they either replaced or repaired rotted wood. To finish it off, they installed brand new gutters, complete with leaf guards, all around. While they were working, the crews were very respectful and careful about our property, cleaning up every day before they left, often leaving areas cleaner than they found them. Everything was so well protected that we haven't seen a spec of paint anywhere it shouldn't be. We feel like we're living in a brand new home. We no longer have to be afraid of the rain, or ashamed of our drab and dilapidated exterior. And, while our neighbors have been very complimentary, some are a bit grumpy, saying that they now feel pressured to update their own exteriors. Our experience with Aggy and P.R.I. - Premiere Roofing could not have been better. We'd recommend them to anyone looking for a capable and trustworthy roofing/painting contractor."

"We have had some storm damage on our singles since El Nino hit us in 2018. Ever since, weâ ve been having leaks, and I honestly didnâ t bother getting it fixed. That was a big mistake on my end because recently weâ ve been experiencing some mold growth in our attic & ceiling. Thatâ s when I made the call to Journey Builders, and they ended up repairing my shingles and taking care of the mold problem. It was a great experience working with Manny, he really saved me from a big headache."

"We had paint damage from a skylight leak in our kitchen. Juan came out quickly and gave a very competitive estimate. He had a color match on the two colors we had in the kitchen. He then mudded in the place where the paint was damaged. We have a barrel vault ceiling which is in between two skylights. So the detail work was tricky. Juan also painted two accent panels in the skylight wells, one which was about 13 feet high. He did a great job with all of these challenges. He was flexible with our schedule and completed everything within two days. A great experience and highly recommended."

"I highly recommend Colby Painting—they are professional, affordable, and darn good painters! Working with Tyler Colby was easy, even as we had various hurdles crop up throughout the process. He gave us a quoted range based on pictures and a description when we were in escrow for a townhome—and stuck to it! He helped us pick paint colors that complemented each other and gave numerous recommendations based on his experience painting other homes. The crew (Dago and Fidel) showed up on time every morning and worked long hours. Their attention to detail was phenomenal and they took great care to protect our counters, railings, fireplace, etc. while painting. They didn’t mind accommodating different contractors that we had come through and were willing to be flexible as schedules changed. They were incredibly polite and willing to help with many random small tasks, including doubling back to paint under vents that we belatedly decided to change. The result is phenomenal! A really solid paint job by really great guys at a really great price!"

"Mel gave us a written estimate when we first called him. Our work was delayed for four months, but when we called him back he still had our bid and came over for a walk thru in order to recall what we had wanted. We had him paint all our ceilings white. He listened to all our concerns and he did a great job. On time, very clean, finished on time and was pleasant to work with. We would contract with him again."

"Finish Coat just completed painting the entire interior of my home. They did a fantastic job and I give them my highest recommendation. I will certainly use them again. They were professional, neat, detail -oriented, and accommodated our tight time schedule even with a change in our Scope of Work. When you hire Finish Coat for your painting project, you can expect very high quality work at a reasonable price. I would give them 6 stars if I could!"

"Juan and his crew were incredible. From start to finish, Juan communicated with us throughout the whole process and we are beyond happy with the finished product. We had probably over 50+ cabinet doors & drawers to repaint + the trim & kitchen walls, so it was a pretty big job. However, they were able to finish it all in the time frame they promised with incredible attention to detail -- our cabinets look like they're brand new! For reference, we went from a light wood to white, and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out. They even fixed up some moisture damage on our wood & filled in some holes left from old owners. They were also on time every morning, very professional, but also a lot of fun :) Our kids miss seeing them every morning! These guys know what they're doing, and we will definitely be using them again in the future. Couldn't recommend them enough!"

"This job was to renovate my home in preparation to sell it in early March. It consisted of a kitchen and 3 bathroom upgrade, flooring and lighting fixture replacement, painting and removal of 3 popcorn ceilings. Beginning the second week of January, the entire job was completed within 6 weeks. When first hired, the principal of Palm Construction carefully tuned in to my specific needs and targeted timeframe, offering succinct suggestions respects colors, style and quality of products used. Specialists in each trade worked cohesively with each other, as well as alongside other contractors that I had personally hired separately for windows and pool replaster. Although I had intended to live in the property during the renovation, I quickly realized that my occupancy was impeding progress, so I made the decision to vacate the premises. This was especially important during the removal of popcorn ceilings which contained asbestos. The work moved seamlessly from the removal of kitchen counters, sink, cabinet doors, appliances and flooring to the demolition of 3 bathrooms. Timely mutual decisions were made about fixtures, mirrors, flooring, sinks, vanities, paint and hardware, allowing the job to progress steadily to reach very precise goals. Along the way, it was determined that the air ducts needed replacing and AC would be a welcome addition to the total job. These issues were discussed and explained clearly and quoted at a reasonable cost - so I decided to add the change orders. Although I had never been involved with a home renovation in the past, I was very impressed with the patience and care taken to communicate with me throughout the entire job. I was a demanding customer with an expectation of perfectionism and Palm Construction was up for the challenge. Beyond the scope of the original job, Palm went above and beyond with finishing touches and little extras here and there. They've come back to help me even after completion of the job, when I needed some additional retrofits for my appliance installation, which was not even part of the original job. I know that I can count on Palm Construction to be responsive and willing for anything that may come up in the future. I learned that they are a GC that you can totally trust and rely on. In summary, I am in awe of the completed work. My friends and neighbors are astonished with the transformation of my home. The end product is flawless and most impressive. My realtor has already offered Palm Construction opportunities for other jobs. My neighbors have asked for their contact information to get quotes. I highly recommend Palm Construction for your renovation work, whether it is a large or small job. During the 6 weeks of this job, I got to know the principal, Guy Yaakov, and his team. Despite the complexities of the job and the incidental issues that came up, the personal follow-through and attention paid to all questions and requests were taken care of expeditiously and professionally. I couldn't be happier, plus, I made a friend. Thanks, Guy!!!!"

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.
