"Miguel and his team were meticulous, efficient, personable, considerate and careful painters. They needed to do a considerable amount of wall repair including smoke and water damage as well as filling significant cracks, dealing with wallpaper under layers of paint and resurfacing. They clearly knew what they were doing and applied their knowledge and experience appropriately throughout the house. They took pride in their work and were very open to feedback and touchups. The only negative in the overall experience was that I should have supervised the 'color-matching' service more closely than I did. The color consultant brought in from the paint company didn't do a sufficiently good job in confirming that the paint selections matched the colors previously on the walls, and that precipitated some repainting midway through the job."

"Jorge was very patient with our many questions and changes. His work was excellent! He was careful to protect our flooring. His work was completed as scheduled. We especially appreciate his ability to tell us the color we picked would not look good. He did paint a small area with our color and right away we knew he was right. Many Thanks Jorge!!"

Questions for Painters

You don't want to have your walls look worse by the end versus before you hired a professional. You want professional work that ends with a clean, beautiful appearance. So you need to hire the right painter who knows what you want and won't overcharge you for the job. Some questions to ask these professionals include about their:

  • Insurance
  • Who the crew involves
  • The materials and equipment used
  • Who's managing my project?
  • Do your workers have professional training?
  • Do you have references I can speak to?
  • How long is the warranty on my paint job?

Don't hesitate to ask all the questions you need to feel comfortable hiring a professional. You can also ask 3-4 professionals to make sure you have the right quote in mind. You must make sure they have a warranty or some kind of paperwork stipulating the quality of their jobs. Insurance is also a #1 priority to consider, as damage can happen in the process of painting.

Considerations

When you're having professionals in to paint, you need to think about:

  • Level of gloss (for interior walls)
  • Materials
  • Color choices
  • Removing or covering furniture
  • Matching the siding with the exterior trim

You want to go through all of these step by step with your professional. There could be parts you miss, and you definitely don't want paint in the wrong places or end up with brightly colored walls when you asked for neutral tones. You might even make a checklist to double-check before the work gets started.

Costs

The price to paint an interior versus an exterior depends on a few factors. For painting an exterior, you will pay about $2,600. This is because you have to account for the siding, making sure the weather doesn't affect the job and dealing with weather conditions. On the other hand, the price to paint a home interior is around $1,700 -- less to worry about other than keeping the flooring and furniture paint-free. If you want to do both the interior and exterior, talk to the painters about any deals or their opinion on timeline and how it affects your budget.
