"I highly recommend Vallen Pro. Very, professional and friendly crew. The pricing was reasonable for such a large project. Diego took care of All the small details. He aims to please. This was a really big job. I hired him to paint entire townhouse, walls & ceilings. (4 floors) The walls were patched, sanded and painted and now look brand new. Care was taken to be sure no paint got on carpet or floors. Ceiling looks 10 times better - tough job as it’s the old popcorn ceiling. They were there on time everyday ready to go to work. Diego came back and did touch ups as needed where lighting was tough in some areas to see second coat. He took the time to be sure everything was perfect and that I was pleased and happy with the job. That is important and why I would hire again I will hire again. Really professional pleasant to work with very friendly."

"Filipe covered all the details making an extra trip to change the surface texture when it became visible in the final coat."

"Rafael at Pontes Painters was fantastic to work with. He was friendly, and very professional through and through. The estimate that he provided us for the work was thorough and much more detailed than competing estimates we had reviewed. The actual work which was to help us prepare an apartment for sale was exemplary - done within our desired timeframe with excellent quality and attention to detail. Weâ re very happy we were able to work with Pontes."

"They did a great job. Very thorough in scraping, sanding, caulking and all the prep was done correctly. No cutting corners. The paint job is great and Iâ ve gotten compliments already. They took extra care with my neighbors to make sure ladder placement was not invasive. I would hire them again."

"A little late here. Bruno made a purchase from my business and I helped him with the install. I was impressed with him as a person and hired him and his crew to do some remodeling at my shop. My wife and I then decided it was finally time to do our kitchen and we now had our contractor. This was early/mid 2021 during the nightmare disruptions in supply chain. Bruno came over and completely designed the renovation of our 1940â s kitchen. He immediately got us in touch with cabinet, counter and appliance suppliers and everything came together seamlessly. The process was incredibly coordinated and organized as this was a major project, we even added a few other projects along the way without any wrinkles. The room completely gutted to the studs and expanded so it was a major project. The quality of work and professionalism still amazes me 2 years later and I still walk into our kitchen 2 years later and itâ s still breathtaking. This is an award winning project that is magazine worthy. Finally, at the end of each day when they leave they leave your area so clean you wouldnâ t even know that they were their working hard all day."

"Bruno was an ideal person to work with on our deck painting job. We are two families who coordinated about our shared deck and we absolutely loooved the outcome! We were also complicated in changing minds about several things along the way and he made it seem like no big deal even though it probably was, and the whole thing was also very prompt and timely. I will absolutely be contacting them in the future if or when we need work like this!!"

"Andre and his cousin Ronnie were outstanding. They worked conscientiously, carefully, and all day long day after day until our large 1879 Victorian house and carriage barn looked marvelous. On inspection at the end, I could not find one thing wrong. They even replaced a rotting corner beam and wall segment, and repaired and painted a long plaster crack inside the house. And on top of everything, Andre was really nice and a very good man. I would recommend him to anyone, especially my own family members. Jeff"

"Royal Painting is the best! We recently had our three-story house restained along with two rooms inside. They were highly professional and did an outstanding job. It was a pleasure working with Ariela from start to finish. Her advice on everything to be repaired, color selection and matching, etc. was extremely valuable and highly appreciated. The entire crew was amazing: hard-working, with high-quality standards, and paid attention to the smallest details. On top of that, they brought a great vibe around the house with their very positive attitude. Last but not least, they were very flexible to our difficult demands as multiple projects were going on at the same time, requiring some adjustments and changes in schedule. I would hire them again when needed and would highly recommend them for their outstanding job."

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.
