What does a painting service include?
Moving and covering furniture, protecting floors, filling small holes, sanding, priming where needed, two coats on the walls, cutting in clean lines, and cleanup. Ceilings, trim and doors are often priced separately.
How long does it take to paint a room?
A professional can usually paint an average bedroom in 4–8 hours, including prep and two coats. Repairs, dark color changes, high ceilings and trim add time.
How often should you repaint a house?
Interior walls typically last 5–10 years, with high-traffic areas needing touch-ups sooner. Exterior paint lasts about 5–10 years, depending on siding material, climate and sun exposure.
How soon can I get a painter?
Interior painting can usually be scheduled within one to two weeks. Exterior painting books up quickly in spring and summer, so it's best to schedule a few weeks ahead.
Does a painter need to be licensed?
It depends on your state. Some states require a contractor license for painting above a set job value. For homes built before 1978, painters disturbing old paint must be EPA Lead-Safe certified.
Do I need to buy the paint?
Most painters supply paint and materials and include them in the quote. You can choose the brand, color and sheen, or buy it yourself. Ask which paint line is quoted, since quality affects coverage and durability.
How do I find a good house painter near me?
Compare written quotes that list prep work, number of coats and the paint brand. Check reviews with photos, ask for proof of insurance, and for older homes confirm EPA Lead-Safe certification.
Is painting work covered by a warranty?
Workmanship warranties vary by pro, so ask for the terms in writing before work starts. Manufacturer warranties on parts, fixtures or equipment apply separately and may require professional installation to stay valid.
Should I paint my house myself or hire a painter?
Interior rooms are one of the most popular DIY projects. Hire a painter for exteriors, high ceilings, cabinets, or when you want faster, cleaner results.
Can AI help me choose paint colors?
Yes — AI tools can preview colors on a photo of your room, suggest palettes, and recommend sheens. Always test real paint samples, since lighting changes how colors look.
