"Troy did a great job painting the exterior of our house. It was not an easy time to paint due to the November weather, but Troy and his team did a great job working around the rain and the house looks great. He did a good job communicating throughout the project, and he was very conscious of cleaning up and making sure we were happy with the results. We are looking forward to hiring Rappisi Professional for our next project."
Tom L. in December 2020
Service Pros
"Projects: Popcorn ceiling removal, ceiling refinishing, drywall repair, replacing baseboard and door trim, full interior painting, trim painting, door painting, replacing bathtub caulking, and more. Review: I highly recommend Eduardo and the 4 Seasons Right Services team! I will hire them again for all my future projects! Pros: - The whole team takes a lot of pride in their work. - Full-service remodeling and handyman -- they can do pretty much anything. They are especially good at drywall repairs, mudding, ceilings, and painting! - Extremely detail-oriented. They proactively pointed out and fixed a lot of tiny details that I didn't even notice. (Things I missed even though I'm a designer!) - Trustworthy. I gave them my keys and full access to my home for a month. I never received any complaints about them from my neighbors, too. - Considerate of your home and careful to protect your floors, walls, etc. - They put down extra coverings to keep your home clean, and they clean up after the job is done. They don't leave a mess that you have to clean up yourself. - Can sometimes do work on weekends. - Reasonable prices, accurate estimates, and honor their original prices. No unexpected charges at the end. - Good communication, pleasant attitude, good sense of humor, and friendly with other residents. Built a good relationship with my building management. - Support family-owned small local businesses! Cons: - The estimated price for services might be in the middle-to-high end of the quotes you receive. However, they're extremely reasonable prices for everything you get. They will go above-and-beyond to deliver quality results. They did a lot of extra small fixes and touch-ups beyond the original proposed scope of work, and they didn't nickle-and-dime me for every little change. They actually SAVED me money on some of my other projects!"

Kae R. in February 2022
Areas Of Expertise: Licensed & Insured, Additions & Remodels, Residential & Commercial
"We recently had Ybarra Professional Builders do some remodeling in our home. We had a new tiled shower put in our master bathroom. We had new quartz countertops and appliances installed in the kitchen. We had the cabinets in the bathroom and kitchen refinished. And we had the whole house painted on the inside. Mike Haim was our project manager and we appreciated his excellent service and vision. Oswaldo and Ray were our expert workmen and they did the whole project. It was great only having two people come in and out to do the work. The company has all their own workmen and so you donâ t have someone new for each job. We canâ t say enough good things about the work that was done and the people who did it. We wouldnâ t think of calling someone else, if we want something done again. Thanks Mike, Oswaldo and Ray! It looks wonderful!"

Find Local Interior and Exterior House Painting Professionals in Seattle
Whether you want to give your space a makeover or enhance your home’s view from the curb prior to placing it on the market, a paid paint job can help. Finding the right paint business in Seattle for your residential painting job is essential to guaranteeing quality, successful results.
You can get just about anything you need to search for a professional residential painter at HomeAdvisor. Get started by entering your ZIP code and answering a few questions about your potential painting project.
We use that information to pare down the results so we can provide an individualized list of potential home painting contractors in your area. From that list, you can read testimonials and view photographs of projects that painting professionals have done in the past. That information helps you write up a final list of contenders who are a fit for your project. From there, you can reach out to get estimates.
Tips to Guarantee You Hire a Painting Professional Sufficient for Your Standards
Locating the best painting company for your requirements and project is an excellent way to make sure the highest chance of success. Read more about some of the factors you should consider when contracting a painting professional in Seattle.
The first step to take is to learn about the company prior to reach out to them. Read feedback, look at the information on the painting contractor’s webpage, and review its social media pages. You can gain a lot of info doing this background check, such as how the company treats customers, what type of work the contractor completes, and whether past customers were happy with the work performed for them.
When reaching out to painting companies, ask whether or not they have the proper licensing. This changes by state, so double check with your state’s contractor licensing board for more info. For example, in some states, contractors who provide painting work must have a license beneath the building construction classification.
It’s also smart to ask professionals about insurance. Only employ painting contractors that carry insurance coverage for employees, equipment, and liability for any damages if anything should go wrong on the job that might be the business’s responsibility because of neglect.
Finally, make sure the painting companies you receive quotes from have experience and availability to perform the sort of painting work your house needs. Not all painting contractors do outside painting, for example, while some work exclusively in exterior residential painting and don’t do interior painting.
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.
