"Palm Construction did many projects for me: remodel bathroom, replace the roof, termite treatment, install of can lights, crown molding, skylight, and painting. The workers are very friendly and all talented. The quality of their work is excellent. The overseeing contractor for all my jobs was Omri. He understands quickly the scope of what you want done. He is organized, honest, and prompt at returning texts/calls. He has personal integrity, and just is a really nice guy. All of the people I met in the company connected to my projects, from owner to people doing the actual work - they were really delightful to meet and work with. I would highly recommend Palm Construction for any project!"

"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 Palmaâ s Painting to anyone needing their service because of the quality of their work, reasonable pricing, and outstanding customer service ."

"John, the painter started working right away. I never saw or heard him on his cell phone. Perfect immaculate finished projects. I will definitely call this company again for the other jobs I want done."

"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!"

"It was nice to hire people who take pride in their work. These guys exceeded our expectations when painting the interior and exterior of our house. We couldnâ t be happier with the outcome! The group of guys who worked on the house were polite and respectful of our space. Me and my wife felt involved every step of the way and thorough communication made it a seamless process when selecting paint and other details. We were given lots of options and benefits/drawbacks to each choice. We also saw some of the previous projects they worked on so we felt confident in choosing FST. Our home looks beautiful and I would recommend FST to anyone!"

"Lionel and his team did a great job painting the exterior of our house and we hired him again to paint the interior including cabinetry. He is very detail oriented and works side-by-side with his crew, so you don't have to deal with different people for estimates and on the job communications."

"Enrique and his Team were on time, professional and id an amazing job for a fair price. My neighbor's sister, also a professional house painter, commented to them about how good the job looked and how professional they were working when she visited. They power washed the house, scraped and and the wood trim, patched areas of stucco and used two coats of paint that was sprayed on and back rolled for a fantastic final appearance."

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.
- Do your research. Understand what to expect and what to look for in a pro. Look at paint types, prices and costs.
- Interior home painting costs $1,000-$2,800
- Exterior painting costs $1,700-$4,100
- Painting a ceiling costs $150-$350
- Painting cabinets costs $350-$1,200
- Trim painting costs $500-$1,500
- Calculate paint coverage
- Call pros for site inspections and estimates. Always get three to five estimates.
- Check references, compare quotes, look at past work. After you have estimates in hand, do one final pass to compare the contractors.
- 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.
- 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.
- Are you licensed and insured? Not all states require a license for painting homes, but many do. Always use one that’s insured.
- Do you belong to any professional organizations? You’ll find many online, like the Painting Contractors Association or the Finishing Contractors Association?
- 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.
- How long will the job take? Get a rough estimate but get it in writing.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Can you supply a written estimate and contract? Never use a painter who isn’t willing to put his work in writing.
