    "Leonel was extremely professional, punctual, and very competitive with his pricing. He didnĆ¢ t hesitate to answer my questions and was very respectful of my home while he was here. I found my one-stop shop for all my painting needs. Highly recommend!!!"

    "Branden( owner) was very professional and informative. His staff was courteous, on time and did a great job. They came out within a couple of days of calling and helped fixed a kitchen that needed a lot of work. My bedroom ceiling and walls were very poor looking and now look wonderful. I am very pleased and highly recommend Elliott"s Painting. Very pleased"

    "I've had J&D Painting do two different jobs for me: first, a complete exterior painting of my house; and secondly, the removal of a popcorn ceiling, retexturing and repainting of the ceiling, and then painting of that room. Work was excellent, people arrived on time, and it easy to work with David and the team members. What I also liked was that when during the exterior painting I needed some stucco work, and also needed replacement of the old gutters and some roof repair, David had excellent contacts. And prices were reasonable!"

    "Ivan, Sarai, Ismael and others were fantastic to work with. I hired New Generation to paint the interior of my condo. They did a fantastic job and I'm so very pleased with the results. I had lots of questions and they were very patient with me. They explained the steps they would take and I learned a lot about different grades of paint, wall textures, etc. Outstanding customer service. Punctual as well. Will hire them again when I get my kitchen cabinets done next year. If you need any painting work done, I HIGHLY recommend New Generation Painting. You won't be disappointed."

    "Precise Touch is the BEST! They repainted our badly weathered trim and facia boards. The surfaces were in really bad shape. They did a very thorough job on the prep work, scraping, filling and priming. When they did the finish coat they masked areas that other painters might have merely "cut in" with a brush. The result far exceeds my expectations. If you need a professional, excellent painter...THIS IS IT!"

    "OMG, this is hands down the best contractor team you will ever have the pleasure of working for you should you decide to use them. They can do any type of work you need. We had them pull old carpet, put in hardwood floors, paint, put in crown molding. Paint the outside of the house, fix the garage before painting, fix the back door and front door, so they are airtight, fix the white picket fence, move the mailbox and re-post it, put in a ceiling fan, install electrical lines, paint the porch, fix some cabinets, put in a beam on the porch, and so on as part of some remodeling. I could not possibly have had all this work done if they had not been extremely reasonable. I love the guys on this team. I trust every single one of them and Rolando has a better personality than any contractor I have ever worked with. Not only that he is honest and trustworthy. He does not ask for anything up front. Their work speaks for itself. All I can say is that I hate even posting this because I do not want them so busy I cannot get them to come back to my house. Honestly, these are the guys you want."

    "I contacted Fernando through another app about a year ago . Out of 4 other pros, he was the only one that was interested in taking a look in person . He did set up his crew before they arrived so that they worked efficiently. He provided recommendations of which paint colors complement each other in conjunction with my flooring and theme I was going for . Although the project he did for me was a bit cumbersome, he was in good spirits throughout the stream . Fernando leads his team with customer satisfaction as his primary drive and motivation. I recommend PalmaĆ¢ s Painting to anyone needing their service because of the quality of their work, reasonable pricing, and outstanding customer service ."

    "This job was to renovate my home in preparation to sell it in early March. It consisted of a kitchen and 3 bathroom upgrade, flooring and lighting fixture replacement, painting and removal of 3 popcorn ceilings. Beginning the second week of January, the entire job was completed within 6 weeks. When first hired, the principal of Palm Construction carefully tuned in to my specific needs and targeted timeframe, offering succinct suggestions respects colors, style and quality of products used. Specialists in each trade worked cohesively with each other, as well as alongside other contractors that I had personally hired separately for windows and pool replaster. Although I had intended to live in the property during the renovation, I quickly realized that my occupancy was impeding progress, so I made the decision to vacate the premises. This was especially important during the removal of popcorn ceilings which contained asbestos. The work moved seamlessly from the removal of kitchen counters, sink, cabinet doors, appliances and flooring to the demolition of 3 bathrooms. Timely mutual decisions were made about fixtures, mirrors, flooring, sinks, vanities, paint and hardware, allowing the job to progress steadily to reach very precise goals. Along the way, it was determined that the air ducts needed replacing and AC would be a welcome addition to the total job. These issues were discussed and explained clearly and quoted at a reasonable cost - so I decided to add the change orders. Although I had never been involved with a home renovation in the past, I was very impressed with the patience and care taken to communicate with me throughout the entire job. I was a demanding customer with an expectation of perfectionism and Palm Construction was up for the challenge. Beyond the scope of the original job, Palm went above and beyond with finishing touches and little extras here and there. They've come back to help me even after completion of the job, when I needed some additional retrofits for my appliance installation, which was not even part of the original job. I know that I can count on Palm Construction to be responsive and willing for anything that may come up in the future. I learned that they are a GC that you can totally trust and rely on. In summary, I am in awe of the completed work. My friends and neighbors are astonished with the transformation of my home. The end product is flawless and most impressive. My realtor has already offered Palm Construction opportunities for other jobs. My neighbors have asked for their contact information to get quotes. I highly recommend Palm Construction for your renovation work, whether it is a large or small job. During the 6 weeks of this job, I got to know the principal, Guy Yaakov, and his team. Despite the complexities of the job and the incidental issues that came up, the personal follow-through and attention paid to all questions and requests were taken care of expeditiously and professionally. I couldn't be happier, plus, I made a friend. Thanks, Guy!!!!"

Frequently asked questions

Painters usually price a job by the square feet of the project. Sometimes theyā€™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. Weā€™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 ā€“ covering, taping and scraping ā€“ itā€™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, youā€™ll also likely need a ladder and considerably more prep work. Youā€™ll likely need additional equipment like ladders, scaffolding and possibly a paint sprayer. Itā€™s almost cheaper to just hire a pro. Talk to a local exterior house painter about your project.

  1. Do your research. Understand what to expect and what to look for in a pro. Look at paint types, prices and costs.
    1. Interior home painting costs $1,000-$2,800
    2. Exterior painting costs $1,700-$4,100
    3. Painting a ceiling costs $150-$350
    4. Painting cabinets costs $350-$1,200
    5. Trim painting costs $500-$1,500
    6. Calculate paint coverage
  2. Call pros for site inspections and estimates. Always get three to five estimates.
  3. Check references, compare quotes, look at past work. After you have estimates in hand, do one final pass to compare the contractors.
  4. 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. Donā€™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 theyā€™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 ā€“ theyā€™re experts after all ā€“ but donā€™t get pushed into a color combination or finish type that you donā€™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.

  1. How long have you been in business? A long business history helps you avoid shoddy companies. Itā€™s hard for a service business to stay in business if they donā€™t do good work.
  2. Are you licensed and insured? Not all states require a license for painting homes, but many do. Always use one thatā€™s insured.
  3. Do you belong to any professional organizations? Youā€™ll find many online, like the Painting Contractors Association or the Finishing Contractors Association?
  4. Do you have other work I can look at? Always check a portfolio or, in the case of painters, itā€™s better to look at work they did a few years ago to see how well itā€™s held up.
  5. How long will the job take? Get a rough estimate but get it in writing.
  6. How many people are in your crew? This is especially important if you work remotely. More people generally means more noise, but theyā€™ll be done faster.
  7. Will I be in the way if Iā€™m home during the painting? You usually wonā€™t be in the way, but this question helps you understand what to expect while theyā€™re working. Theyā€™ll need to lay down coverings and do a lot of prep work.
  8. Do you guarantee your work? Never hire a painter who doesnā€™t guarantee their work. This often means theyā€™ll rush the prep work, since peeling never happens right away.
  9. 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.
  10. Can you supply a written estimate and contract? Never use a painter who isnā€™t willing to put his work in writing.

Questions for Painters

You don't want to have your walls look worse by the end versus before you hired a professional. You want professional work that ends with a clean, beautiful appearance. So you need to hire the right painter who knows what you want and won't overcharge you for the job. Some questions to ask these professionals include about their:

  • Insurance
  • Who the crew involves
  • The materials and equipment used
  • Who's managing my project?
  • Do your workers have professional training?
  • Do you have references I can speak to?
  • How long is the warranty on my paint job?

Don't hesitate to ask all the questions you need to feel comfortable hiring a professional. You can also ask 3-4 professionals to make sure you have the right quote in mind. You must make sure they have a warranty or some kind of paperwork stipulating the quality of their jobs. Insurance is also a #1 priority to consider, as damage can happen in the process of painting.

Considerations

When you're having professionals in to paint, you need to think about:

  • Level of gloss (for interior walls)
  • Materials
  • Color choices
  • Removing or covering furniture
  • Matching the siding with the exterior trim

You want to go through all of these step by step with your professional. There could be parts you miss, and you definitely don't want paint in the wrong places or end up with brightly colored walls when you asked for neutral tones. You might even make a checklist to double-check before the work gets started.

Costs

The price to paint an interior versus an exterior depends on a few factors. For painting an exterior, you will pay about $2,600. This is because you have to account for the siding, making sure the weather doesn't affect the job and dealing with weather conditions. On the other hand, the price to paint a home interior is around $1,700 -- less to worry about other than keeping the flooring and furniture paint-free. If you want to do both the interior and exterior, talk to the painters about any deals or their opinion on timeline and how it affects your budget.
