"Jason Crapo removed our outdoor French Doors and installed a new sliding glass door for us. He is incredibly friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and informative. He went above and beyond when we ran into issues with the size of the door that we purchased. The quality of this install was second to none and the finished product exhibits a degree of craftsmanship that is missing these days.

How Much Do Painters Charge?
The cost for expert home painting services can vary depending on many factors. One of the largest factors in price is the paint service’s size. Interior house painting work comes to around $3.50 per square foot, while outside residential painting jobs can total, on average, $1.50 to $4 per square foot.
Some other elements that might make a difference with the price of residential painting services include:
- Paint quality and type. Paint is not all priced evenly, and selecting a pricier sort of paint increases the total cost.
- Prep work required. If painting contractors must prime walls or repair exterior boards or siding before they paint, the cost typically goes up.
- Location. The costs for all goods and services alter depending on your location and state, and painting services are no exception.
- Height. If painting teams must build 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 rises, so houses with cathedral ceilings or multiple stories are most likely to cost more to paint than a single-story ranch.
A good way to determine what your home painting job may cost is to get estimates from potential painting contractors in Louisville.
What Types of Services Do House Painting Contractors Provide?
House painters do much more than paint your walls or exterior siding with a new color. Some painting businesses may create accent walls or add decorative exhibits, for example, and some may also offer pressure washing services for outside siding.
Standard services home painting companies provide include:
- Painting inside walls. All interior paint businesses paint interior walls, typically in shades of your choosing. Question whether or not a business utilizes scaffolding if you have high walls or cathedral ceilings, as not all contractors engage in those sorts of services.
- Painting interior baseboards, ceilings, and other areas. Many interior painting professionals paint ceilings, baseboards, molding, and other inner layout facets as needed.
- Creative or decorative painting. Some painting contractors do accent walls with specific painting ministrations, like feathering or marbling. A few may also provide stenciling or mural projects to raise the attractiveness of walls.
- Outside painting. Exterior painting companies paint outer surfaces and walls like fascia or eaves. Do not assume that a company does both inner and outer painting—always ask to ensure both jobs are covered if you intend to hire the same contractor to paint the interior and outdoor of your residence.
When talking to potential residential painting contractors in Louisville, explain what kind of painting you are looking for. The professional can let you know whether or not they provide those projects.
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.
