    "We engaged A.W. Painting for a number of jobs during our recent house buy/sell process: -exterior painting, including concrete porch and doors -interior paint in a cathedral ceiling home -kitchen cabinets We've found their work to be careful, considerate, and cleaned up nightly as we were living in the new home once they began the job. Even some small touchups were done on their way out the door. The team was friendly, professional, and on time. Kitchen cabinet paint takes more time to cure, so be aware of that if you're hiring for that sort of job. We'd have no hesitation in contacting A.W. Painting for the next paint jobs we need, and would recommend their work."

    Handyman - All types, General Construction

    "Home Advisor rating system has a limitation on how to choose the projects, so let me recap here in detail. I found John Betz & Son (Silver Spring MD) through Home Advisor. After several calls to other recommendations, John (himself) was the only one to answer his phone, pull over (he was driving), talk me through all the handyman work I thought I needed (the list grew!), get my information, and set up an appt (all on the side of the road). For our initial walk-thru, he showed up not on time, but Early! He confirmed the type of work I needed, from my other experience with a previous walk-thru. We set up a date/time for the first priority job because it had a deadline -- he showed up early for that appt, and he and son did an excellent job fixing rotting exterior front door wood, and painting (and painted more than was requested too, to make it look seamless!). The other jobs were not an emergency, so we set up 2 days the following week. He again showed up early with his son on BOTH days. They worked all day, both days, on the following: caulking exterior windows, pediments, garage door (and checking exterior for any leaking); re-hanging & securing a shutter; replacing an exterior keypad for my garage door opener and setting up the coding system; replacing/repairing drywall in the garage; fixing kitchen sink (repaired garbage disposal and replaced piping/drainage repair for other sink); replaced a ceramic tile in dining room (and matched grout so perfectly I couldn't tell which tile had been replaced afterwards!); drilled and installed new locks on a living room window; MADE and installed 2 screens for living room windows; repaired threshold wood strip in basement that runs between carpet and tile floor; AND THEN, he checked a vent return that makes periodic noise, and checked behind insulation to be sure no mold/damage was present -- those were no charge :-). John gives a full electronic estimate for his work before it begins, accepts major credit cards (if really necessary), and sends an electronic receipt. During this time, I was able to talk with John and get all my handyman fears put to rest, as he is an expert, and can do work from top to bottom of your house (not just handyman work). I highly recommend John Betz & Son -- my experience was 5-star!!"

Ali told me upfront that he would need to do my kitchen, dinning room and living room on non-consecutive days (I have a small townhouse and this was a small job for his company). I agreed. He was completely reliable in notifying about the days he would work. The team cleaned up completely in between days off and at the end of the job. The painting is perfection. We are extremely happy with the results!"

    "Lee provided a combination of a fair price (in the middle of the other estimates), great service and detail-oriented work. His crew was intent on doing a good job on every task. They painted the house, replaced rotting wood trim, stained a large screen porch (removing and replacing several of the screens), installed a flood light and painted a large deck (also replaced two upright supports on the stairs). They worked fast and the outcome was great. Will use them again for sure."

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.

  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. 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.

  1. 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.
  2. Are you licensed and insured? Not all states require a license for painting homes, but many do. Always use one that’s insured.
  3. Do you belong to any professional organizations? You’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, it’s better to look at work they did a few years ago to see how well it’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 they’ll be done faster.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  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 isn’t willing to put his work in writing.
