How do you find a good house painter in San Diego?

When hiring a painter for new interior/exterior paint in San Diego, every homeowner wants to know: how do I find the best local house painter for me & my job?

If you’re looking for a house painter, chances are you’ve got a good reason! Don’t let worries about choosing the right painting contractor get in the way. With our simple tips, you’ll know what to look for when hiring a local painting company to paint your San Diego home.

The first and most critical way is to only hire a painting contractor who is licensed, bonded & insured.

To be licensed means that a contractor has a valid contractor’s license from a state or local contractor licensing authority.

A system of licensing is how the state ensures that every contractor has a basic level of knowledge, competence and business stability. Gen Pro Painting is licensed, bonded, and insured, and we’re happy to discuss the details. Never hire an unlicensed contractor!

Second, certified painters offer top-notch quality and can handle tough jobs.

One of the most challenging aspects of interior & exterior painting is dealing with lead paint. Local painting contractors have to demonstrate superior attention to detail in order to be certified to remove lead paint.

Gen Pro Painting is proud to offer certified lead paint abatement and lead paint removal services in San Diego!

Third, always look for reviews on social media when looking for a house painting contractor. A good painter will have plenty to be proud of!

Mat and his workers did a great job. The heat was really high a couple of days. Mario was meticulous and answered any questions I had. They did a full preparation and then painted trim then the main color. I will use them again if I need future painting.

Andre was the foreman of the crew that painted our house. They did an outstanding job. Andre was attentive to the work and made good recommendations. Will certainly use them for future paint projects.

How much does it cost to paint a house in San Diego?

Of course, the answer is it all depends – but depends on what?

Yes, finding the cost of a house painting job involves a bit more than simply punching square feet × cost of paint into a calculator. But it doesn’t have to be overly complicated!

A good painting contractor will provide a clear estimate to help you understand what’s what.

Here are the fundamentals we consider at Gen Pro Painting when creating a free quote for house painting in the San Diego area:

  • size of the space to be painted
  • job complexity

All else being equal, a 3,000 square foot house is going to cost more to paint than a 1,500 square foot house.

And of course, it will cost more to paint your house if there’s a lot of prep work to be done, or if there’s lots of intricate trim to paint, or if you want different colors in every room (or even in the same room!)

There are other factors in the cost of a painting job, chiefly the cost of paint, materials, and labor. But it’s the details of the job that dictate how much of each we’ll need.

At Gen Pro, we do a full site inspection and provide a detailed estimate, so you understand what you’re paying and why. Best of all, you can request a free quote online right now.
