"Troy showed up when he said he would and did excellent work. He put in solid days. I highly recommend him. I had hired him to paint all the iron fencing associated with my house, and was so pleased that I am now asking him to do Sheetrock work and interior painting. Heâ ll definitely be my go-to from hereon."

"After searching NYC for painters and getting the run around (missed appointments , don't return calls etc) Home Advisor set me up with several options the best of which was Nicko's Construction and I couldn't be happier. His estimate was thorough and delivered by someone (himself) with the knowledge of the work to be done . He was punctual , did exactly what he said he would do, finished when he said he would and had the best price.He is trustworthy and friendly ,I couldn't ask for anything better. I would definitely use him again and would recommend him ! the best price."

"Carlos was very responsive, thorough, and extremely helpful. He didn't want to just fix my problem, but explained why it was occurring and what my options were to ensure the leaks stopped. They were quick at fixing my issue and left the place spotless when they were done."

HANDYMAN, RENOVATION
"Aldo was great to work with. He painted our entire condo (1075 square feet) and put in new floors upstairs to make our condo ready to sell. He also fixed a couple of issues around the house which made our place look amazing! He gives you the best value for your money and does an amazing job. Very happy with our place!!"

"The work they did is phenomenal. They came to do faux finish. It was fascinating how fast and professional was the whole process. As I discovered these guys are very creative and they can handle any kind of artistic job I decided to order the mural in my kids nursery too. Thanks to George who is super talanted and helped me to choose right palette and style the result came out better then I could ever imagine. I highly recommend their team for any kind of mural painting. Thanks again!"

"The idea of having pretty significant interior work performed in my house, with a pregnant wife, child, and elderly parents living there was an ongoing headache. I was recommended Olsenâ s Renovations through an acquaintance, and was truly happy with the choice. Olsen was well spoken at the initial contact, provided an honest estimate, and work started on the promised date. The experience was as stress-free (is there such a thing?) as these circumstances allow. The young man is a pro at his trade, safe, clean and punctual. Drywall install for a new space/plaster/paint was done as well as I could have hoped for, and I highly recommend his company. Thank you Olsen, and best of luck. Your hard work and winning attitude will surely pay off."

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.
