Areas Of Expertise: Painting
"I recently worked with Painting and Projects NYC to paint an empty apartment to get it ready for sale. The quality and professionalism of Waylon and his crew totally exceeded my expectations. I received estimates from three companies and Waylonâ s price was the most reasonable and stood out because he included work items in the price that others wanted to itemize as extras. I was concerned that since it was an empty apartment for sale they would not be as focused in doing a high quality job as if I were living there. My concern turned out to be totally unfounded since the significant plastering and painting done was excellent. The walls and ceilings were as smooth as new and there was not one area that needed to be re-done. Building staff went in to look at the work and said that they would recommend Waylon to others looking to do painting because they thought his work was such high quality and the workers were so neat. The new floors had been polished before they painted and when the job was done the floors looked as good as when they started. The apartment was so clean and neat that it looked like they had a professional cleaning company come in when they finished the job. I wish all interactions with contractors would be as pleasant and easygoing as with Waylon. He was very responsive and asked several times if there was anything that I was not totally happy with because he would be sure it was addressed. I can honestly say that I would not hesitate to recommend Painting and Projects NYC and they will be my first choice for any future work in this area. Waylonâ s customer focus and willingness to ensure his clientâ s total satisfaction make him standout from the competition, as does the excellent quality of work exemplified in everything they do."

Suggestions for Hiring a Painting Company for Your House Painting Job
Many painting companies supply the same work. Having an idea what to search for and what questions to ask can help you locate a painting contractor in New York that most likely fits your needs.
Do Your Research Prior to Contacting Them
Start with the information available on HomeAdvisor, but move on to do additional research about painting professionals you’re interested in. That might include:
- Looking at the company’s webpage to view what types of work it offers and whether it makes guarantees.
- Looking through any social media to see work the contractor has performed.
- Looking through additional feedback on social media and Google.
- Questioning family and friends for referrals or if they are familiar with a company you’re interested in.
- Searching the Better Business Bureau to guarantee the company does not have any unsettled complaints.
Ask Plenty of Questions
After you reach out to potential professionals, ask many questions. Question what sort of work a professional provides and how they assess employees. Ask about budgets and timelines to ensure the professional is available according to your availability. Make sure the company uses the sort of paint you want and ask whether or not it contains the correct equipment to complete the project, including scaffolding, if needed.
Make Sure Companies Are Experienced and Insured
Try to find a company that has experience with jobs that coordinates with your job. Somebody who’s only painted interior walls might not know how to cope with outside paint projects, for example. You ought to also always check to ensure contractors you work with have insurance coverage.
What Are the Costs of Choosing a Professional Painter?
The typical cost of paint work for a home is $1.50 to $4 per square foot depending on a multitude of elements. Among the biggest elements is the complete surface area that needs paint. A larger residence or room with more surface to paint requires more materials and time, which inflates the price.
Some other factors that might change the cost of residential painting jobs include:
- Paint quality and type. Not all paint is priced equally, and choosing a costlier kind of paint increases the overall price.
- Prep services required. If painting companies must repair exterior boards or siding or prime walls before they paint, the total typically goes up.
- Locale. The costs for all services and goods vary depending on your state and location, and painting jobs are no different.
- How High. If painting team members must put up scaffolding or use other tools to reach tall areas to paint, the price can increase by up to 120%. The price rises as the height goes up, so residences with multiple stories or cathedral ceilings are likely to cost more to paint than a single-story home.

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.
