Send these photos.

One photo per wall or side of the house gives painters what they need.

Home built before 1978? It may have lead paint. Ask pros if they're EPA lead-safe certified before they sand or scrape.

What affects the price.

Most painters can give a rough price from photos and room sizes. Some confirm on site.

Size

Square feet and ceiling height drive most of the cost.

Prep

Patching, scraping and sanding add time.

Paint

Better paint costs more and can last longer.

Color change

Going from dark to light can need extra coats.

Height and access

Two-story walls and stairwells need ladders or scaffolding.

Painting questions

Who buys the paint?

Usually the painter, and it's in the estimate. If you want a certain brand or color, say so in your request.

Do I need to move furniture?

Ask your painter. Many move and cover it as part of the job. Some ask you to clear the room first.

Is this live in my area?

Enter your ZIP above to check. Where it isn't live yet, you can ask anyway, in case a pro nearby can help.

How does Rivit find painters?

Rivit finds local pros in its directory and asks them in fair turns. Up to 5 send estimates. They see the job and your area, not your name or number.

Does Rivit vet painters?

No. Rivit doesn't vet pros. Next to each estimate you see the license and insurance details a pro has shared. Confirm license and insurance before work starts.

Is requesting free?

Yes. Requests and quotes are free, and you don't have to hire anyone.
