Interior Painting

How To Choose a Painter in Beaverton
When selecting a painting service, keep these key considerations in mind.
- Cost: Get price ranges from at least three contractors. Use caution if one company's prices are significantly lower than others.
- Guarantees: Request guarantees in writing and ensure you understand which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your painter to explain various paint options, including the positives and negatives of each, to help you make an informed decision. Some options are designed for specific priorities, such as weather-resistant or eco-friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: Painters in Oregon must be licensed by the Oregon Construction Contractors Board. To obtain a license, a contractor must pass a knowledge exam and provide proof of insurance. We recommend always asking for proof of insurance yourself, especially if contractors will be working with power equipment or on ladders. If your home was built prior to 1978, and you're worried about the possible presence of lead, you might look for a contractor who is trained and certified to work with lead-based paint under Oregon’s Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule.
- Reputation and reviews: Ask for references from family, friends, and neighbors, and check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) profiles of providers you’re considering. You can also find reviews on sites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
How Much Does Painting Cost in Beaverton?
The price to paint your home will be determined by your home’s square footage, the paint you choose, and the season. Painters usually charge more in the busy summer season. The typical cost of both interior and exterior painting ranges from $0.78 to $3.13 per square foot. Since most homes have greater interior than exterior space, painting the interior is generally more expensive than painting the exterior. For a 2,000-square-foot home in Beaverton, expect to pay around $3,907 to paint the outside and $1,563 to $6,250 to paint the interior. Alternatively, Beaverton's local painters may charge you an hourly rate between $15.78 and $26.30. It normally costs less to schedule interior and exterior painting at the same time rather than as separate services.
