How To Choose a Painter in Midvale
Below is what you should consider while deciding which residential painter to hire:
- Cost: Ask for pricing from several companies before deciding. Be wary if one company offers substantially lower rates than the rest.
- Guarantees: Get a hard copy of your painter's guarantees and ensure you confirm what they cover and how long they last.
- Paint types: Ask your painting contractor to explain various paint options, including the positives and negatives of each, to help you make an informed decision. Some options cater to specific needs, such as weather-resistant or eco-friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: Painters must have a contractor license from the Utah Division of Professional Licensing. Companies with employees must provide proof of insurance, but you should always ask to see proof of bonding and insurance from any contractor who works on your home. This is especially important if they'll be working on a ladder or using power equipment. 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 certified by the Department of Environmental Quality Lead-Based Paint Program.
- Reputation and reviews: Request references from family, friends, and neighbors, and review 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 Midvale?

The typical cost of both interior and exterior painting is about $0.81 to $3.26 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 Midvale, you can expect to pay around $4,072 to paint the outside and $1,629 to $6,516 to paint the interior.

Bundling exterior and interior painting services together can mean lower overall costs than if you'd split them into separate projects.
