"From start to finish, these guys were terrific. I designed wide outdoor steps, a small deck, and a privacy fence. Jeff was great and always there when I needed him. Foster was the project manager, and a more exacting, detail oriented professional I have yet to meet. Jackie, Fosterâ s assistant, did a magnificent job replacing my pavers. All were very friendly, professional and accommodating. They took my vision and turned it into reality. I highly recommend them... except they will soon be in high demand as word gets around, and Iâ ll have to wait for my next project with themð"

"We just had the entire interior of our home, built in 2011 - and still with the builder's original white walls, painted by Textbook Painting and we are VERY satisfied. They provided us an interior designer to make suggestions regarding colors, and their prompt response was impressive. They used top-quality Sherwin-Williams paint (two coats). They finished our two-story, 3BR, 2.5 Bathroom home, including Dining Room Kitchen, Kitchenette, Living Room and Office in four days - start to finish. The trim was left better than when they started. Every picture-hanging nail hole has disappeared, and clean-up on our part was nil. We've already received comments on the quality of the work and the "warm" feeling emanating throughout our home. And they will return annually for any necessary touch-ups as part of this contract. Their price was very reasonable. Would I use them again? You bet! I've already recommended them to my business partner in Twinsburg. Gary Yingling - Avon Lake, Ohio"

"Doing business with Don and Ron was great: called when they said they would, arrived when they said they would, worked steadily, no playing radios like some work people do, just quietly proceeding with their work. They listened carefully to what I wanted (remove wallpaper, repair walls where necessary, paint), finished quickly. They also cleaned up nicely. And they're just a couple of nice guys. I recommend them highly and plan to hire them again. In fact, I would have had them do more stuff but right now my budget isn't allowing it."

What Are the Costs of Choosing a Pro Painting Company?
The price for expert house painting jobs can alter depending on several elements. The paint job’s size is one of the largest cost factors. Interior house painting services costs around $3.50 per square foot, while exterior residential painting services can cost, on average, $1.50 to $4 per square foot.
Other factors that might impact the price of home painting services include:
- Paint type and quality. Not all paint is priced evenly, and selecting a costlier kind of paint evidently increases the total price.
- Prep work necessary. If painting contractors must prime walls or repair exterior boards or siding before they paint, the cost typically increases.
- Locale. The prices for all goods and services change depending on your location and state, and painting jobs are no exception.
- How High. If painting team members must build scaffolding or use other equipment to reach tall surfaces to paint, the cost can go up by up to 120%. The price increases as the height increases, so houses with multiple stories or cathedral ceilings are most likely to total more to paint than a single-story ranch.
A good way to get a feel for what your home painting job may cost is to ask for prices from prospective painting contractors in Cleveland.
Regular Services Painting Companies Provide
Not all house painters do the same sorts of residential painting, so it’s necessary to understand what services are available and who you can turn to for those services. Some house painters may only paint the outdoors of residences, while some may focus on interior painting. Some may only perform creative projects, such as adding murals or decorative accent walls to spaces.
A number of home painting contractors do interior wall painting. At its core, these jobs include priming and painting walls, including edgework, to guarantee an expert-looking finish. Some companies might also paint ceilings, molding, and baseboards, but it’s vital to ask and not assume.
Contractors that offer outside residential painting services paint the outside of residences, including siding, brick, and other surfaces. Double check with a business to guarantee it will paint specialty areas should your house has them.
If you’re looking for a bit more creativity, you may want a company that does stenciling or other creative painting. This specialty job may decrease the number of companies you can employ and drive up the cost. It’s especially necessary that you review a painter’s portfolio to understand if they can perform creative work you’ll be satisfied with.
Reaching out to potential painting professionals in Cleveland is the best way to find out if they might offer the work you need. Providing as many details as you can regarding your goals and preferences for the painting job might also help companies offer you the most accurate 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.
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.
