Customer Testimonials

Our home in Overland Park needed a refresh, and PhD Painting made it look brand new. Fast, respectful crew and no mess left behind. Five stars.

I recently hired PhD Painting to work on my condo in Mission, and I’m so happy with the results. They walked me through the whole process, kept me in the loop, and even helped with some dry wall repairs. The pricing was fair, and the paint job looks modern and clean.

PhD Painting did a phenomenal job on our rental property. Quick turnaround and the place looked amazing for new tenants. Great value.

We manage a couple rental properties, and PhD Painting is our go-to team. They’re fast, consistent, and budget-conscious, which is critical for turnovers. Most recently, they painted a 3-bedroom unit and had it ready in 2 days. No drama, just dependable service.

F.A.Q.

Have A Painting Question?

How do you pick the right painting company?

Start by comparing estimates from at least three reputable painting contractors. Look beyond price—consider licensing, insurance, customer reviews, experience, and communication. At PhD Painting, we’re fully insured, locally trusted, and committed to quality and transparency from start to finish.

How much does it cost to paint my house?

The cost of painting a house can vary significantly, often ranging from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. This variation in price is influenced by several factors, each of which can have a substantial impact on the overall cost of the project.

Size of the House: One of the most obvious factors affecting the cost of painting is the size of the house. Larger homes will naturally require more paint, more labor, and more time to complete, resulting in higher overall costs compared to smaller homes.
Quality of Paint and Materials: The quality of the paint and materials used can also significantly affect the cost. Higher-quality paints and materials tend to be more expensive upfront but can offer better durability, longevity, and a more professional finish. Conversely, lower-quality paints may be more affordable initially but could result in the need for more frequent repainting, ultimately costing more in the long run.
Extent of Preparation Work: The condition of the surfaces to be painted and the extent of preparation work required can also impact the cost. Houses with extensive surface damage, peeling paint, or significant repairs needed will require more time and labor to prepare properly, which can increase the overall cost of the project.
Complexity of the Job: Factors such as the architectural complexity of the house, the number of stories, and the presence of intricate details or specialty features can also influence the cost. Painting projects that require extra care, attention to detail, or specialized techniques may require more time and expertise, resulting in higher costs.

How long does it take to paint my house?

The time it takes to paint a room or a house can vary based on a few things. If it’s a small room, like a bedroom or a bathroom, it might only take a day. But if it’s a big job, like painting a whole house, it could take a few days to a few weeks. We always aim to work efficiently while making sure the job looks great. Once we look at your specific project, we can give you a better idea of how long it will take.

For a regular-sized house, which is usually between 1200 to 2200 square feet, it typically takes about a week, but that can change based on different factors.

There are a few reasons why painting might take longer:

Getting Ready: Before we start painting, we need to get everything ready. That means cleaning the walls, filling in any holes or cracks, and putting on a primer. How much work we have to do depends on how the walls are and what kind of paint is already there.
Putting on Paint: We often need to put on more than one layer of paint to make sure it looks good and lasts a long time. Each layer needs time to dry before we can put on the next one.
Waiting for Paint to Dry: Paint needs time to dry properly. It’s important to wait for each coat to dry before we can put on the next one. The weather and how humid it is can also affect how quickly the paint dries.
Dealing with Weather: If we’re painting outside, we have to watch out for the weather. Rain or really hot or cold temperatures can make it hard to paint, so we might have to wait for better weather.
Getting to Everything: Sometimes, we need to move furniture or protect certain areas before we can start painting. Figuring out how to do that safely and efficiently can take some time.

What do I need to know to prepare the space before painting?

Before our crew arrives, we ask you to:

Remove small items and valuables from rooms
Unplug electronics
Clear wall hangings and artwork
We’ll move large furniture and cover floors and fixtures to protect your home. For exteriors, trim back shrubs or trees close to the home and ensure we have access to all sides.

Are your painters licensed, bonded, and insured with a workers comp. policy in place?

Yes. PhD Painting is fully licensed in the state, carries liability insurance, and covers all crew members with workers’ compensation. We follow strict safety protocols and industry regulations to protect both our team and your property.

How do you ensure the quality of your painting work?

We assign a project manager to every job who oversees prep, application, and cleanup. We use premium paints from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, follow surface-specific application methods, and perform a final walkthrough with you before closing out the project.

Does PhD Painting offer a warranty?

Absolutely. We back our work with a 2-year workmanship warranty on most interior and exterior painting services. If any peeling, flaking, or fading occurs due to improper application, we’ll come back and make it right—at no extra charge.

Do you give estimates over the phone? What if I have measurements?

We offer free virtual estimates when you can provide photos and approximate square footage. For the most accurate pricing, we recommend an in-person visit so we can assess surface conditions, prep needs, and discuss color choices in person.

Do I need to be home during the painting project?

It’s entirely up to you. Many clients provide access and go about their day. Our crew is respectful, punctual, and professional—we’ll communicate daily and send progress updates if you’re not on site.

What types of paint do you use?

We use top-tier, low-VOC paints from Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and other trusted brands. We also offer eco-friendly and hypoallergenic paint options upon request.

Can you help me choose the right colors?

Yes. We offer free color consultations with every project. Our team will help you select shades that match your lighting, design goals, and existing finishes. We can also provide samples and test patches before painting.

Do you clean up after the job is finished?

Absolutely. We take pride in leaving your space spotless. After final touch-ups, we remove all tape, drop cloths, and debris, and return furniture to its original place unless otherwise instructed.

How soon can you start?

We typically schedule projects 1–3 weeks out, depending on the season and your location. However, we sometimes have last-minute availability, so it’s worth checking in. Reach out early if you have a deadline or are preparing for a move or event.
