"The work that was preformed was horrible. This was new construction home and which we thought we hired this company and come to find out they sub contracted the work out. This was a total Sheetrock job. A lot of our personal property was used and damaged, none of the work was complete on 2 separate occasions, the owner was very disrespectful when we called him out on it,etc. I can’t explain everything we went through to get this job done properly. We had to hire someone else to complete the work. Keep in mind we live over 3 hours away and 2 separate trips the work was supposed to be complete. I would not recommend and be careful signing their contract and giving them your direct account information!! They will try and withdraw the money without your knowledge and claim they made attempts to collect which is incorrect!!"

AB&C Painting has been in business for over 40 years. We do all aspects of Interior and Exterior painting. Pressure washing, Deck staining. You can check our web site for past and present projects. Our Company comes highly recommended. We never ask for any money until the job is finished and your satisfied. We have a Five Star Rating with BBB.
"Don't hesitate to use their services! We vetted four companies to paint the exterior of our home. At the time, our home was under repairs from an electrical fire last year. I met with Daniel, the owner and we walked the entire exterior of my property which included our 2400 sqft home and a detached two-car garage. Daniel's 40+ years of experience in the Painting business was very apparent as we discussed multiple issues of concern and how to appropriately resolve them without inflating the final bill. I went home that night bragging to my husband about how comfortable I was with Daniel's expertise, attention to detail, approach to educating the homeowner on how to address problems themselves, and his quiet, calming demeanor when describing the scope of work. After all bids were received, we chose Daniel and his team and I'm writing to tell everyone that my home has never looked better. Shortly before the project started, we had to address an unrelated issue with the workmanship of the Contractor hired by the Home Repair Contractor to paint the interior of our home. I called Daniel, asking if he could please make time to come by and evaluate the interior painting job. He came two days later and as we expected, he found that the "satin finish" paint used, exacerbated the poorly installed drywall and other repairs. This man hadn't even painted my house yet, but we were so comfortable with his knowledge and expertise, we asked him to help us fix our home. We were on a strict timeline, so Daniel put other projects on hold and agreed to make things right. His crew completed the interior prep-work and repairs, all while painting the exterior of the home. With weather permitting, his crew completed the entire project in the cold and sunny days of Mid-December and January. Robby was phenomenal! He had an uphill battle to fix someone else's mistakes, but he accepted the challenge, and superceded our expectations. We can't thank him enough for caring about his chosen craft. My home looks absolutely beautiful, inside and out! My neighbors continue to call and comment on the color and paint job. I would hire AB&C Painting again for any painting project. In a world where people think of themselves, this is one Painting Company that cares whether you're fully satisfied in the end, and also warranty their work. I will praise the awesome work Daniel, Robbie, and crew accomplished to anyone who will listen and made our home whole again. I Highly recommend their services!"

"Chad came out, and we had a great conversation about our project. We were very excited to work with him, and he said it would be a week or so to get back to us with a quote. After 4 weeks, I combed my email for anything I might have missed. Neither of us had an email or a VM. I sent a follow-up email, but nothing. I called and left a VM, but nothing again. We got ghosted, and it hurts. Is it so hard to just email? 'Hey, thank you for the opportunity, but we have decided to pass on your project.'"

Home Repair and Maintenance
Home Repair and Maintenance
Exterior paint costs around $20 to $80 per gallon, while interior paint costs around $20 to $30 per gallon. Outside paints tend to be pricier because they need to withstand the elements, such as abrasion, moisture, and color corrosion from the sun. In addition, painting the outside of a home is more costly at around $3,100, while painting a home interior costs around $2,000.
Use our paint calculator to determine the number of gallons of paint needed for your project. The average gallon of exterior paint covers 350 square feet in a single coat. So, a 1,500-square-foot home with a paintable area of 1,100 square feet requires seven gallons of paint for a two-coat application.
When determining how much extra paint to purchase and whether to apply primer, clear planning is essential. Rounding up your paint requirements ensures complete coverage and prevents gaps during the application process. Extra paint acts as a safeguard against miscalculations, while proper primer application—decided by the paint type and exterior condition—secures adhesion and long-lasting protection.
When determining how often to repaint your home’s exterior, careful evaluation of both the current paint condition and building materials is crucial. Exterior paint is engineered to last five to 10 years. Aluminum surfaces require repainting every five years, wood requires a new coat every three to seven years, and painted brick needs refreshing every 15 to 20 years. Visible chipping or cracking signals the need for prompt repainting to sustain protection and curb appeal.
When deciding whether to roll or spray exterior house paint, the method chosen directly influences the overall finish and work efficiency. Rolling delivers precision and control for tight, detailed areas, whereas spraying achieves a smooth, even coat on large surfaces with high efficiency. The equipment used and labor intensity are key considerations; homeowners must choose the technique that best suits their project scale and quality requirements.
When evaluating the duration of an exterior painting project, a professional team completes an average-sized house within three to four days. Larger or more complex projects—such as three-story homes or residences with extensive architectural details—require five to six days due to increased surface area and additional setup. A contractor provides an exact timeline after reviewing all project specifics.
