"Mr. Townsley does quality professional work at a fair price. The first job he did for me was painting my house which included power washing the house, replacing some damaged cedar siding, priming and finally painting the entire structure. His strongest attribute is paying extreme attention to detail. The second job was refurbishing a metal porch and steps. The most challenging part of this task was stripping off old paint, custom fabricating risers for the steps and painting. Again his attention to detail prevailed. I would not hesitate using Mr. Townsley again."

Ideas to Guarantee You Contract a Painting Company Sufficient for Your Standards
While there may be many painting businesses in Baltimore, they won’t all meet your house painting needs. Take steps when vetting painting businesses to guarantee that the potential companies on your short list meet your needs.
One of the initial steps to take when choosing a suitable painting contractor for the job is to learn as much about the painting company as you can before reaching out for an estimate. Look at reviews, take a look at the painting professional’s website, and look through the company’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram posts to see what former clients had to say about their skills and abilities.
What Types of Services Do House Painting Contractors Provide?
Home painting professionals offer a wide array of projects, but not every company provides the same options. Some companies might focus on interior paint jobs, while others handle special interior paint work or creative projects such as murals in the living room.
A number of residential painting contractors do interior wall painting. At its core, these jobs consist of priming and painting walls, including edgework, to ensure a professional-looking finish. Some companies might also paint ceilings, molding, and baseboards, but it’s important to ask and not just assume.
Contractors that provide exterior home painting services paint the exterior of residences, including brick, siding, and other surfaces. Check with a business to make sure it will paint specialty surfaces if your house has them.
If you’re looking for a bit more flair, you might want a business that does stenciling or other decorative painting. This specialty service might reduce how many professionals you can work with and drive up the price. It’s especially important that you look at a painter’s portfolio to understand if they can perform decorative work you’ll be content with.
Contacting possible painting companies in Baltimore is the best way to learn if they might provide the work you need. Offering as many attributes as you can about your goals and preferences for the painting project might also help businesses offer you the most precise quote.
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.

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.
