What I observed over that time was how dilligent & very detailed oriented Rick is. That was important to us because we had so many other sub contractors working on the site and we kept things in order. he would see things that we didn't see that needed to get fixed and that was much appreciated.

Search for House Painting Businesses in New Orleans for Exterior or Interior Painting Projects
When you wish to give your living room a makeover or increase your home’s curb appeal before placing it on the market, a professional paint service can help. Searching for the proper paint professional in New Orleans for your residential painting job is essential to determining quality, successful outcomes.
You can find everything you require to locate a professional home painter at HomeAdvisor. Start by submitting your ZIP code and answering a few questions about your possible painting work.
We use that information to pare down the results so we can supply an individualized selection of possible home painting professionals in your area. From that list, you can read reviews and see photos of work that painting services have done previously. That information helps you create a short list of contenders who are a fit for your job. Afterwards, you can contact companies to get estimates.
General Fees Associated With Professional Paint Companies
The type of painting services, preferred brand or sort of paint, and size of the surface requiring paint all factor into how much interior or outdoor paintwork may fetch. Painting over rough materials —such as brick—or bold colors that may need numerous coats can cost more than painting over pastel or flat areas.
Typically, interior house painting jobs totals about $3.50 per square foot. Exterior home painting totals $1.50 to $4 per square foot, usually.
Other elements that can impact the price of residential painting jobs include:
- Paint quality and type. Not all paint is priced equally, and selecting a costlier kind of paint evidently increases the overall price.
- Prep services required. If painting companies must prime walls or repair exterior boards or siding before they paint, the total usually raises.
- State. The prices for all goods and services change based on your state and location, and painting services are no exception.
- How High. If painting team members must build scaffolding or use other equipment to reach tall areas to paint, the price can increase by up to 120%. The total rises as the height rises, so houses with multiple stories or cathedral ceilings are most likely to total more to paint than a single-story ranch.

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.
