"We had Rick paint our large living area. The space has high ceilings and one area over an open stairwell. We just didn't want to take it on. Rick's bid was competitive and his work was excellent. We couldn't be more pleased. We had a couple of "while you're here" jobs that we had him work on as well. He put up some tiles on our backsplash area of the kitchen and installed some attic stairs in our garage. Again, we were more than satisfied. He always came when he said he would. If he would be arriving at a time other than agreed upon, he would let us know. When we have more work to be done, Rick will be the first person we'll call."

"Seth repaired our carpet - and we liked him so much we hired him for several other jobs. He replaced 2 faucets in a bathroom, repaired my pool decking (HUGE job!), patched and painted 4 bedrooms and a hallway, replaced hardware on a folding door, pressure washed the house and cleaned the roof. Seth was excellent to work with. He was always on-time, is a great communicator and the work is quality!!! I would hire him again and definitely recommend him for any kind of handyman job!"

"Having an old house can be a fun living experience, especially the cozy feeling and non-cookie-cutter architecture rare these days. We love the character of our house! Though sometimes it comes with a cost... maintenance. Our cute cottage needed some paint work. Not the whole house, just some parts, especially where the painting was peeling off. Albert Jr and Albert Sr both came out for a look and offered a cost-effective solution... actually, the price was outstanding, at least compared to the other folks that stopped by for a quote. The gentlemen he sent talked to me before the job to ensure he had the correct directions. I appreciated him double checking with me. Once the job was completed, the painter once again checked with me to ensure the job was done correctly. It was! From beginning to end, Albert Jr. and Albert Sr. were outstanding in their work and professionalism, especially exceptional considering their prices painted over the competition."

"Did a great job on replacing my kitchen n security door"

"I was impressed by the professionalism of this firm. There was a very clear estimate in writing and the work was performed in a timely fashion with a great degree of professionalism and neatness. I had to separate projects completed by this company. I had dry rot around windows and a broken door frame. The home project included repairing the dry rot around the windows and replacing it with wood and painting the exterior. Other tasks included cleaning the gutters and the roof carefully. I also asked them to power wash my front porch. Since I was so pleased with the result of this experience I hired them to redo the lobby of my business in Collierville. They patched holes in the wall repainted the lobby, cleaned the ceiling and vents, and also installed nice scratch guards in the front lobby to prevent dogs from scratching the walls. They were plastic panels that were framed. I cannot say enough about the professionalism of Christina and her crew. I will hire them every time I need work done in the future."

"Excellent work. Made a tired, worn out kitchen into a warm, open space. Built custom cabinets that look much better than the commercial cabinets we were going to order with very little cost difference. Very thorough record keeping. We could see exactly what materials cost and labor cost. The project was completed in a timely manner with quick notifications for any delay (which weâ re minimal and unavoidable). Would definitely hire again and recommend to others."

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.
