Covering something with paint is a simple task—but painting it the right way so that it lasts and looks beautiful is much more difficult. Did you know that everything from the type of brush you use to the direction of your strokes, how much pressure you put on the brush, and how much paint you dip the brush in all matters for a painted surface’s final look? That’s why it’s smart to leave both exterior and interior painting to the professionals at Mr. Handyman.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I do anything to prepare for the handymen to paint?
While a great handyman team will take charge of a painting project from start to finish, there are some things the homeowner can do to help out. Clear the area around the painting site of any debris or furniture so that the painters have easy access to the surface. If the painters need to go upstairs or through hallways, keep them clear so tools like rollers and ladders can pass through.
For exterior projects, if you have plants near your home’s exterior, trim them back or briefly tie them in a plant bag to get them out of the way. It’s also helpful to mow so the painters can see where they can put ladders and tools safely.
Do I have to buy my own paint?
You can if you like! However, it’s often a better choice to work with the painting team to narrow down what you want or even make a final decision, then let them purchase the paint as part of the job. They can usually get a better price and will have a better idea of exactly how many gallons are required. They can also advise you on the differences between interior and exterior paint and which features of the paint are most important.
How expensive is home painting?
Home painting can be an affordable, simple process, but it can also be a large undertaking. Painting an entire home will cost more than touching up the baseboards. Interior painting is generally less expensive than exterior painting when covering the same amount of square footage because there are fewer challenges. Exterior painting needs to contend with ideal temperatures, wind, weather, debris falling from nearby trees, and more. Whether you spend hundreds or thousands depends on the scope of your project, so choose a team that will be upfront about the price from the start.
