Do you provide free estimates, and when can Dario come out?

Yes. Dario walks the job with you, measures it, and leaves you a written quote. It is free, it carries no obligation, and it is yours to keep. Visits are on weekdays between 8:30 and 3:30, and on Saturdays between 7am and 6pm. Call or text (901) 665-2883 or fill in the estimate form, and the visit is booked at a time that suits you.

How much does it cost to paint a house in Memphis?

In national cost guides, painting the inside of a house runs about $2 to $6 per square foot and the outside about $1.50 to $5.30. Those are national averages, not a Memphis quote. Every job gets a free written estimate with the price for your house. See the house painting cost guide for ranges by room, house size and surface.

Do I need to buy the paint, and what brands do you use?

No. Paint is included in the quote and we supply it: premium lines from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, matched to the surface and the room, never thinned to stretch a gallon. Two coats, over primer where the surface needs it, is what the quote is priced on, not an upsell on the day. If you would rather use a specific product you already have, tell us at the walkthrough and we will price it that way.

How long will the project take, and when is the best time to paint outside?

A standard bedroom is usually a day, including prep. Kitchens and cabinets take longer because of drying time between coats. Your quote carries a start day and an end day. For the outside, fall, from mid-September through October, is the best time in Memphis, with April and May next. See when to paint a house exterior in Memphis for the weather by month.

What does the prep involve, and do you move furniture?

Patch, sand, caulk and prime. We move what we can, cover the rest, mask every edge and put the room back each evening. Exteriors are washed and scraped first. Holes, cracks, water stains and old patchwork are fixed and blended before a drop of paint goes on.

Are you insured?

Yes. Dario’s Painting is fully insured in Tennessee and has a Memphis and Shelby County business license (No. 114001221). We hand you the certificate of insurance before the first day.

What areas do you serve, and do you do commercial painting?

Memphis and Shelby County: Germantown, Collierville, Arlington, Lakeland, Bartlett, Cordova, Eads and East Memphis, and the rest of Memphis. Just outside them? Call and ask: we travel for larger exterior jobs. Dario’s Painting also works as a painting subcontractor for Memphis builders, general contractors, property managers and investors: see commercial and contract painting.
