Questions

The ones we get asked most.

More answers on estimates, paint, cabinets, exteriors and fences: see the full FAQ

Do you provide free estimates?

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.

When can Dario come out for the estimate?

Estimate visits are on weekdays between 11:30 and 1:30, 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. The estimate is free and written.

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.

What areas do you serve?

Memphis and Shelby County: Memphis, East Memphis, Cordova, Bartlett, Germantown, Collierville, Arlington and Lakeland. Just outside them? Call and ask: we travel for larger exterior jobs.

Do I need to buy the paint?

No. Paint is included in the quote and we supply it. If you would rather use a specific product you already have, tell us at the walkthrough and we will price it that way.

What paint brands do you use?

Premium lines from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, matched to the surface and the room. Never thinned to stretch a gallon.

How long will the project take?

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.

When is the best time to paint the outside of a house in Memphis?

Fall, from mid-September through October, is the best time to paint outside in Memphis, with April and May next. Both stretches stay above paint-label minimums and dodge the worst summer heat. See when to paint a house exterior in Memphis for the weather by month.

Do you move furniture?

Yes. We move what we can, cover the rest, and put the room back each evening.

Are you licensed and insured?

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

Do you repair drywall?

Yes. Holes, cracks, water stains and old patchwork are fixed and blended before a drop of paint goes on.

How many coats are included?

Two, over primer where the surface needs it. Two coats is what the quote is priced on, not an upsell on the day.

What preparation do you perform?

Patch, sand, caulk and prime. Floors covered, furniture moved and protected, every edge masked. Exteriors are washed and scraped first.

Do you do commercial painting?

Yes. Dario’s Painting works as a painting subcontractor for Memphis builders, general contractors, property managers and investors: new construction, rental turns, punch lists and exteriors. See commercial and contract painting.

What needs painting?

Closest match is fine. We work out the detail on the call.

Where is the property?

The ZIP tells us whether it is in our area. The street address is optional here: we take it on the call.
