Common Services Painting Professionals Offer
Not all home painters do similar sorts of residential painting, so it’s necessary to understand what jobs are provided and who you might turn to for them. Some residential painters might only paint the outdoors of residences, while some might only do interior painting. Some may only perform creative projects, such as adding decorative accent walls or murals to spaces.
Some of the most common services residential painting contractors provide include:
- Painting interior walls. All interior paint companies paint interior walls, usually in colors of your choosing. Question whether a company utilizes scaffolding if you have high walls or cathedral ceilings, as not all companies engage in those types of jobs.
- Painting interior ceilings, baseboards, and other areas. Most interior painting professionals paint ceilings, baseboards, molding, and other inner structure surfaces as needed.
- Decorative or creative painting. Some painting contractors do accent walls with specific painting treatments, such as feathering or marbling. A few may also provide stenciling or mural projects to increase the beauty of walls.
- Exterior painting. Outdoor painting companies paint outer walls and surfaces such as eaves or fascia. Do not assume that a professional does both interior and outer painting—always ask to make sure both services are covered if you intend to contract the same contractor to paint the interior and outside of your home.
Contacting potential painting companies in Richmond is the best way to learn if they might provide the work you require. Providing as many attributes as you can about your goals and preferences for the painting job may also help professionals provide you the most precise estimate.
Search for Local House Painting Professionals in Richmond
A professional paint job can offer multiple comforts for your home. An outside paint project can elevate exterior attractiveness and the value of your house, and updated paint in an inside space can make it new to you again. To get these advantages, though, you first have to employ the correct paint professional in Richmond for your job.
You can get just about anything you require to look for a professional house painter at HomeAdvisor. Start by entering your ZIP code and answering a few questions pertaining to your potential painting job.
We utilize that information to slim down the outcome so we can deliver a curated list of possible house painting contractors in your area. From that selection, you can go over feedback and look at photos of work that painting companies have done in the past. That information helps you make a short list of contenders who are a fit for your project. From there, you can contact contractors to get estimates.
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.
