    "Was extremely good at his craft at a very good rate. Provided all of his own tools had lots of gear and equipment tailored to drywall and making the process clean and efficient. Heâ s very trustworthy and fair as I had many power tools and high value items around left unattended while he worked and didnâ t have to think twice about anything happening to them. Overall Iâ d hire him again. Was exactly was I was looking for. Had him mud sand prime and paint our laundry room and he did a great job."

    "Owner, Marty, was wonderful to work with and so was his painter, Corey. Communication was a breeze and every thing was done professionally. Both owner, Marty, and Corey, the painter, were cordial, responsive, and professional. It was a pleasure doing business with Marty. They were also cooperative since I requested the work be done in a certain way and they agreed. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again if I need more painting done. This time, the job was on the small side - painting large kitchen island cabinets - but next time, it would likely be a much bigger job. I highly recommend using this company."

    "Got a few quotes to paint my house and although Mac painting was not the least expensive they were not the most. At the time Mac Painting was new and I was skeptical. Did exactly what I asked and paint came out better than expected."

    "We hired Brian Flowers to repaint our kitchen cabinets. He came out on a Thursday and was able to start the job the following Monday. His price was fair and definitely worth all the work he did for us. Brian was reliable and trustworthy. We can tell that he takes pride in his work because he sanded the cabinets many times and also painted and touched up the cabinets until they looked perfect. Many contractors are out to just get your money, but Brian truly cared about the quality of work he was putting into his job.He is extremely friendly and easy to work with.We will definitely use Brian for other jobs and we would recommend him to anyone. Thank you, Brian! We are so happy with our cabinets!"

    "On time ! Very important. I had the doors, trim,ceiling and walls painted.I cannot believe my house looks so beautiful and is transformed. A fresh coat of paint on my doors made them look new and saved me a ton of cash because they don't have to be replaced. The entire team of painters were amazing...even the owner was on the job, cleaned up after them selves, very careful when moving furniture and everything was put back - pictures, metal little picture frame with beloved Disney picture and hung the surround sound speakers. I inspected the house on hands and knees. Perfect everywhere !"

    "Super professional and helpful, very quick and communicative and VERY handy. Seriously, normally you would need 5 different companies just to do these things, but this small company is so helpful in just making sure clients are comfortable So they ended up doing A LOT for me, especially since there's so much to do for a new apartment , which I greatly appreciate. And I ended up using them for another apartment too because of how good they were These were just a handful of stuff they did, nothing too crazy but as you can tell as the list adds up, it was way easier to have just the same guys do it: - new vinyl flooring installation - painting entire unit - bathroom tiles - drywall installation - front step repairing (old house, so it was shaky) - closet shelf installation - cabinet install - changed mortice old locks to cylindrical normal locks - installed finished trim around bathroom door - shoebase trim across the whole unit - door actuator install - spray paint old vents to white Basically I helped design some of the aspects or thought processes with Ben and he was able to provide feedback. The installation of cabinets and closets for example was exactly where I wanted them to be! Then, each invoice was line itemed so it's easy to understand what everything cost. Again very clear & communicative Love them , highly recommend!"

    "Oscar was very quick to respond to my initial inquiry email after I was provided him as an option from Home Advisor. He answered all of my questions and provided me a fair quote very quickly. I went with him based on other reviews on Home Advisor as well as him prompt communication. He did three entire rooms and a couple additional doors and trims for my project. The work done by his painter exceeded my expectations especially since one of the rooms required quite a bit of attention. They made sure to verify that everything met my satisfaction prior to closing out the job. And the minor things I did find, they fixed right away. I will definitely use Magic Color Painting again for any of my future painting needs."

    "This company is a joy to work with. They were hired to paint some walls, we added ceilings, they repaired walls, ceilings and then did all my kitchen cabinets from paint to new hinges and handles. The price was very reasonable and Efraim was subtle but helpful with decision making. The work they did was in November. Today they are coming back to paint a bedroom. I will always use their services."

    "My wife and I needed 8 sheets 4'X10' of drywall, tape and mud done to our kitchen. Daniel came out and gave us a price (in line with everyone else) and 1 day to install. When Daniel and his guys were here, they took the time to prep, paper off the floor, plastic over cabinets and plastic off the room to prevent dust from getting in adjacent rooms. Put on drywall, tape and mud to a primer ready quality, cleaned up, vaccum and wipe floors clean with water. The whole process started at 7am and completely done by 2:30pm. Ceiling and walls look great and I would definitely recommend them to everyone!!"

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.
