Recent House Painting Reviews in Detroit
- Somerset Painting & Professional ImprovementsOur crew lead by Julian and Kristian (not sure if that's how he spells it?) was *outstanding*. For some people there may be some difficulty with English not being their first language. Work through it, your patience will be rewarded. These guys do good work and care about your project. On our project they made smart suggestions on the fly as things came up, and gave me options, and let me choose what to do. For example, there was some wood damage that we didn't know about until they got there with a ladder, and the initial plan I had for gel staining my front door was not going to look how I initially thought. In both of those cases and a few others they showed me the issue, were ready with good ideas, let me pick an option and showed me progress along the way so we could course correct as needed. I knew what was happening with my house each day and I feel extremely confident that I got great value for the price I paid. They also pointed out some work that needs to be done on some windows that I didn't know about. They are not a window company but now I know about the problem so I can address it before it gets worse. We had a pretty big project. I live in a 1920s home with stucco and wood board style siding. We needed a lot of painting, and varnishing / protecting the front door some woodwork around it. We also needed some repairs done on the wood trim as well as the stucco. We also still have a lot of original windows, some in great shape, and some in really bad shape, and we needed some light repairs there as well. Everything looks great, even better than what I hopes for, and I am so happy to have things fixed. I strongly recommend them to anyone who has a large exterior painting project, especially if it is a somewhat more complex problem that might involve some light repairs or determining the extent of damage and deciding what to do from there. I will also mention that the guy who came out for our initial consultation, Kevin, was great to work with. He gives very detailed bids and was also able to help me better understand the condition of my house and what options I had
- Somerset Painting & Professional ImprovementsThe whole experience from start to finish was wonderful. I received a quote right away, the renderings were a huge help in making our decision, and the end result is beautiful. Every one on the team was helpful, responsive, professional, and kind. Thank you for bringing our vision to life! Definitely recommend this company
- Walls N All Painting LLCThis is the third time my brother has used Walls N All painting. Once again, the work done was excellent. Shane managed to fit us into their schedule (September 2022) so that both interior and exterior work could take place in the same week. The exterior painting was done by Mike and the interior by Aaron. They are both experts and work very well together. We were really impressed by how much attention to detail Mike paid in doing the exterior painting. His work was very exacting around our windows, doors, and mechanical plumbing. Aaron did an excellent job repairing drywall on a ceiling before painting and it is perfect now. He also painted a basement stairwell and ceiling that we could never tackle ourselves. He even helped by washing an inaccessible window! Tim, the quality control supervisor, stopped by on a regular basis to check in on the work. This is a top notch group. We are very happy with the quality of the job
- Somerset Painting & Professional ImprovementsAwesome! The owner, Rick, came out two days after the call, provided a detailed estimate in writing later in the day and gave me a good estimate for the timeline. They actually had a crew available earlier than expected, so from the estimate request to job completion was a little over two weeks. The crew was great! Polite, professional, friendly and did a great job. They tracked down the cement fiberboard and replaced the damaged siding, did a great job painting and did everything we needed. The estimate was pretty spot on (we had quite a bit of work done not originally included). The final invoice was detailed and easy to read. From booking to estimate to scheduling, to execution, billing and follow up, Somerset was awesome
- Mark of Elegance Painting LLCAwesome very satisfied with the paint job. They helped with picking out colors. Very professional. I will use them again. High recommend them.
- Somerset Painting & Professional ImprovementsI highly recommend Somerset Painting. Here’s why: Our project consisted of two parts: carpentry and paint. We needed to replace about 200 sq.ft. of second level wood siding which had deteriorated over the years. It was not an easy job, because the lower level roof cut across at an angle, so each new panel had to be cut to fit then hauled up and put in place. Also, about 3,000 sq.ft. of wood siding and overhangs on the rest of our house needed painting. Most of the work was completed in one long day, which minimized the disruption. This was through hard work, not cutting corners. Julian and crew were justifiably proud of the end result. The new siding and paint look terrific. Careful prep work meant joint lines that are crisp and clean. In addition, the paint process, which consisted of spray, back-roll, and follow-up spray to blend the painted area, resulted in a very smooth appearance, including under the overhangs. Rick Hartsell, the founder of Somerset Painting, took on our project with just a handshake. A deposit was not required. His confidence that we would be happy upon completion was a deciding factor in our decision to hire them. Our house looks like new
- Somerset Painting & Professional ImprovementsWe recently had Somerset Painting paint the exterior on our 1926 Craftsman Bungalow. We were very impressed by Rick when he came out to quote the job, pointing out many things that others did not. We can also not say enough about the painter assigned to our job Tim Mitrofanov. His attention to detail, care for our property, plantings and execution was stellar, and I would highly recommend him to anyone
- USA Construction and Painting LLCThey were extremely professional from start to finish. I was communicated with throughout each of the projects. They left no mess behind. I would recommend and hire this company again.
- North Pointe PaintingPedro, Gustavo, and Saudaniel and the entire Northpointe Team did a great job. They painted the exterior of my home with great attention to detail. I would definitely use them again. They are true professionals!!
- USA Custom Painting LLCCan’t say enough positive things here. The communication, professionalism and performance exceeded expectations. They consulted and advised on my selections and worked with me every step of the way. 10/10 experienced

"Starting delayed twice. Caused us to delay vacation once. Left within half hour of them being finished. Did not get to really examine the job till two weeks later. However prep was excellent. Paul did a marvwlous job of painting. Was a bit rushed on the last day due to weather. Only found one drip on the deck, no big deal.

"Frederik contacted me and let me know that because of unpredictable weather, he was slightly behind on his schedule. He came out, inspected what I wanted done, and told me he'd get back to me with an estimate. In a couple of days he texted me and let me know how much it would cost. I kept in touch with him via text, and a couple of weeks later, he was able to work me in. He let me know he was using Sherwin Williams paint, and he and his brother got down to work. They did a fantastic job!! Knocked it out in 2 days. I will definitely hire him again. He did a great job and made sure everything was to my liking, as well as being courteous and professional.

"Toma was so helpful. Our siding had been damaged by another company and we thought it would have to be replaced. Toma had an idea on how to repair it that nobody had thought of. In the end I saved a lot of money repairing the damaged siding, and it looks better than I could hope for. I am so greatful for Toma's creative solution to a really bad situation.

Join Angi nowTips and tricks for finding an exterior painter
Begin with some research. Obtaining a roster of painters in your area is a great jumping-off point. After you do that, be certain to:
- Read reviews and ratings. A solitary unsatisfied reviewer out of many happy customers isn’t a big deal, but a bevy of negative comments can be a compelling reason to cross a painting company off your list.
- Arrange some in-person consults. Don’t take estimates from painters who have yet to see your home firsthand. The painter should view the home from all angles to evaluate the scope of the project.
- Inquire about their insurance. You may not need a credentialed painting pro. Go over all local and state requirements to find out. Nonetheless, you should only work with candidates with insurance. That protects the contractor’s interests and yours.
What does exterior house painting cost on average?
On average, homeowners may pay about $3,000 for exterior home painting work. But keep in mind that costs may vary widely based on factors that might include what type of prep work is required and what type of paint you prefer. How much exterior surface requires paint is an important consideration in price. Homeowners may pay $0.75 to $2 per square foot on average for painting work.
Larger or more difficult exterior painting work usually drive up the price, with work on the top end averaging around $6,000. Painting work in the Mid-Atlantic generally is pricier than in other locations.
Applying paint over different materials can change the total price of the work. Brick is generally the costliest material to add paint to. Home painting projects involving brick often run from $3,000 to $10,000. Concrete, wood, metal, and vinyl are the cheapest materials to add paint to.
