    "We were beyond impressed with Diego and his team. Diego took the job seriously from our very first meeting and he was always responsive, punctual and dependable (unlike any of the other contractors we met while trying to complete our renovations.) He worked extremely hard until late at night to complete our job in a limited time frame. He is a perfectionist and it shows. The painting and cabinetry work he did are immaculate. He and his team were very respectful of our home and took all precautions to make sure no damage was done and our house was clean. His rates are transparent and fair. Diego is friendly and easy to work with. It is clear he takes a lot of pride in his work and wants to produce an exceptional result."

    "They did a great job. Very thorough in scraping, sanding, caulking and all the prep was done correctly. No cutting corners. The paint job is great and Iâ ve gotten compliments already. They took extra care with my neighbors to make sure ladder placement was not invasive. I would hire them again."

    Specializing in all residential and commercial painting., We use the old tried and true method of powerwash: TSP, bleach and water in proportion.

    "Hired Paul's team to paint the kitchen, hallway and bathroom of my condo and they did a fantastic job. Alex is the best painter in the North Shore and maybe all of Boston. He has a high level of attention to detail and will go above and beyond to get the job done right. I highly recommend this team and I look forward to working with them again on future projects."

    "Zeck Deck Services restored my front porch to better than new condition! The wooden columns had developed wet rot where they sat on the synthetic deck and the railings/trim needed new paint. Zeck Deck custom build aztec pads to sit between the restored wood columns and the deck. The paint job is incredible with no holidays, drips or overruns. In addition to the great work done by his company, Ezequiel has both vision and skill in assessing problems and providing solutions at a reasonable price. I am fortunate to have found Zeck Deck Services through Home Advisor and highly recommend this contractor! Bob Drury"

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.

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.
