Find Prescreened Professionals

From Mesa to Scottsdale, from Tempe to Tucson, from Glendale to Chandler, the Phoenix-area is blanketed with professional home painters. Phoenix homes, especially exteriors, are known for their bold and vibrant coloring. Whether you're trying to enhance your home's curb appeal or show off your home's beautiful interior spaces, you should consider hiring a Phoenix home painter for the convenience and quality of their work.

Phoenix Home Painters: Exterior House Painting
With Phoenix exterior house painting, practicality is just as important as aesthetics. Intense sun and a monsoon season that can wreak havoc on all types of exterior home structures means you'll need to find paint that can handle these unique climactic factors. This is another great reason to consider hiring a professional, who will be a wealth of local information about which paint is best for your home. Rest assured, as well, that whatever paint manufacturer you select, you'll still have the entire array of colors and tints to choose from for your home's exterior.

Phoenix Home Painters: Interior House Painting
Interior house painting, on the other hand, is a project that most homeowners can undertake on their own. It doesn't involve climbing ladders or dealing with the elements. Still, few homeowners relish the idea of tackling the project of painting the entire interior of their home. Particularly for new homeowners, who want to start from scratch and make their new home their own, hiring a professional painter to alleviate the already stressful process of moving can be a godsend.

Getting Estimates and Ensuring Quality with Phoenix House Painters
What we've heard from both homeowners and professionals is that the most important part of house painting is good planning. This can mean something entirely different whether you're taking the job on yourself or hiring a professional. One of the best techniques is to talk about the details of the job before you solicit estimates from contractors. Though some contractors may be ready to throw a number in front of you to get you onboard, by discussing the ins and outs of the project, you can you compare apples to apples when it comes to estimates given by different contractors. More importantly, however, you can begin to establish both your personal preferences and your expectations for the work at the very beginning of the project.

Cost of Hiring a Phoenix House Painter
To decide whether it's worth it to hire a professional painter, you'll need to understand the cost of house painting. Many homeowners are surprised by how much it can cost to hire a professional painter, although this cost includes the several hundred dollars (as a best-case scenario) it will cost to buy the paint and supplies to paint the house yourself. Many homeowners are reluctant at first, but by the time the project is finished, they couldn't have imagined doing it any other way.

Phoenix Exterior House Painting: $2,700 (ranged between $1,000 and $6,000)

Phoenix Interior House Painting: $2,200 (ranged between $1,000 and $9,000)

The true upper limit of your house painting project is, naturally, determined by the size of your home and the needs and tastes of your home decorating. The homeowner who spent $9,000 on interior house painting, for example, had a 4,200 sq. ft. home and hired an interior designer to help with color selection. That said, however, the interior designer cost only $225 for three hours, and helped the homeowner pick out the entire color palette for his home. Don't be surprised if the house painters themselves are less responsive to helping you choose your colors.
