Mr. Milbauer did a great job on our house, letting us check the colors we selected on small sample areas, before he continued. He was prompt, professional, and did a thorough job replacing and caulking some of our trim. He was very careful to clean up when he was done. I could not find a...

Schneider Home Equipment CoAnthony's painters did a lousy job on my house, because they dripped paint everywhere, and didn't bother to paint the window frames.

"Great company! We dealt with Greg who was super easy to work with and provided advice and a full paint book for me to decide my colors. He worked within our budget and communicated throughout the whole process. Zero surprises! Work took 3 guys about 5 days on brick and detail trim work. Also replaced some rotted pieces of wood that were part of trim and porch. Very impressed with the quality and final result. I am a perfectionist and I could not find one mistake they made on the whole house! Would definitely hire again."

"A Professional contacted me via text from Angi about the job. I shared pictures of the house and proposed work via text and we discussed the price and start date. Reached out to the painter 2 days before to discuss colors, but was not ready to start on the proposed start date. Started 2 days late. Discussed 2 paint colors on the day and the painter said they could not complete the work as originally discussed due to detail on the trim. Did not set up to contain old pain chipped away from trim all around the house. Paint chips were left on the porch patio and in the yard. Discussed clean-up expectations with workmen present but unsure of understanding of the request. Painters were not very respectful of our yard and even poured pain in my flower beds where I grow vegetables etc. After the job conclusion paint chips were not completely cleaned up and are still out I'm my yard. I have tested chips and they contain lead. I have contacted the contractor and they are supposed to come to clean up on 12/6. If the yard is contaminated with pain after clean up I may seek additional compensation to cover any remediation needed."

Family owned and operated company with over 40 years of experience. We specialize in all your painting, drywall and wallpaper needs. Blending quality, craftsmanship, and customer care is our specialty. Reach out to me directly at 859-391-9193 to schedule an estimate.
"Quite simply, this was the best contractor we have hired in 35 years of home ownership. We have had some good ones (and bad), but Pat is way above the rest and his price was the most reasonable. I read almost all the reviews and they are all fantastic (not one bad one) and for good reason: Pat and his team are the nicest, friendliest, most conscientious, thorough, laid-back, competent crew I have worked with. Four of them worked for 2 solid days scraping and repairing rotted wood that prior painters glossed over (they were too professional to say this themselves) with NO complaints. And I had to insist that we compensate them properly for all that! Pat is the most honest, knowledgeable, generous contractor I have hired. They may not look like your typical college-aged painters, but don't be fooled - they are a capable and expert team like no other. BTW, they can fix anything - I plan to have them back to seal our brick, fix and paint the deck, do interior work, and my neighbors are having them replace gutters and tuck-point. We are so happy we found them!"

"Can’t rave enough about the work Creektrace Painting has done at our house! Evan Katt and his crew of quality painters are worthy of your trust. They did an excellent job painting our wrap around front porch, back porch, chimney and all the wood trim on the house. On time each day, friendly, worked hard and finished quickly.

When you’re considering hiring a painter, a quote should include the following items:
Overall price
Price for each area (e.g., living room, master bedroom) or item (e.g., trim, doors)
Cost of labor
Cost of materials
Description of prep
Description of repairs to be made
Description and details of paint application (number of coats, brand and type of paint, etc.)
You may need to provide your own paint, depending on the agreement you make with the painter. Some painters prefer that you buy the paint and they supply the labor. However, some professional painters get a better price on paint and can pass that savings along to you even after accounting for labor costs.
The average cost to paint a ceiling ranges from $3 to $8.50 per square foot, which is about $1 to $2.50 more per square foot than the cost to paint the walls. Rooms with high ceilings require working from a ladder or scaffolding and often include trim or detail work, which adds to the final price.
Professional painters charge $20 to $50 per hour, on average. Hourly rate cost factors include the complexity of the paint job, the type of paint, the height of the walls and ceiling, and the type of prep and repairs needed. For example, removing wallpaper costs an additional $3 per square foot because it can be very time consuming and labor intensive. Your location will also impact the hour rate.
To estimate the cost to paint interior walls, multiply the square footage by the average price range to paint interior walls, which is $2 to $6 per square foot. For example, a 12-by-12-foot room with 8-foot tall walls is 384 square feet, meaning that the cost to paint the room will range from $768 to $2,304. Painting the ceiling and any trim will add to the overall cost, as will any repairs.
