How To Choose a Painter in Whitney
Below are some factors to consider when choosing which residential painting company to hire:
- Cost: Get price quotes from at least three companies. Be wary of any contractor that quotes a substantially cheaper rate than others.
- Guarantees: Make sure you get all guarantees in writing, and that you understand the scope and duration of coverage.
- Paint types: Ask your painter to explain paint selections in detail, including the pros and cons of each. This will help you decide on the best option for your project. Some paints have better weather resistance or use more environmentally friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: Painters in Nevada must hold a classification C-4 license from the Nevada State Contractors Board. Companies with employees must submit proof of insurance, but it's important that you verify that any contractor working on your home is properly bonded and insured. This is particularly important if they'll be working on a ladder or using power equipment. If your home was built before 1978, and you're concerned about the presence of lead, you may want to look for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Get family, friends, and neighbors to provide references, or use the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to browse painters you’re considering. You can also browse customer reviews on sites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
How Much Does Painting Cost in Whitney?

The typical cost of both interior and exterior house painting in Whitney is $0.86 to $3.45 per square foot. Most homes have more interior space compared to exterior space, which leads to higher indoor painting expenses compared to exterior painting costs. For a 2,000-square-foot home, expect to pay about $4,315 to paint the exterior, and anywhere from $1,726 to $6,905 to paint the interior. Some painters in Whitney may offer alternative rates of $18.46 to $30.77 per hour. Bundling interior and exterior painting services together may mean paying less overall than you would if you split them into separate projects.
