Ensuring your home’s exterior looks freshly painted is possible with a bit of maintenance work. Keep the exterior clean with an annual power washing, regularly prune landscaping trees or shrubbery that could scratch or scrape the exterior, and touch up any damaged areas immediately. Avoid clogged gutters and downspouts as the overflow of water can damage a home’s exterior.
I am unable to answer direct question. any painter that is reasonable(market rate) & has done work in your reference should be preferred. Asian Paints or any other company would try to set standards. However finally, end of the day it completely depends on man who is actually doing work at your place. At the same time avoid painters who quote very low price, because later they will increase the bill or compromise on result.

Learn to “dial back” a strong color like the pros. Many of our customers initially say they are eager to infuse their homes with color, but lose their confidence mid-way through the selection process. They fear that even warm, inviting colors like pumpkin-coral or meadow green will overpower a wall and fall back on a “safe choice” in the off-white/beige/deep ivory family. This is fine – unless it leaves you yearning for the warmer color you sought in the first place. In this case, try confining a splash of color to one wall – the dominant wall – or choosing a lighter shade (or two) of the same color.
There are surfaces that require extensive prep work. For instance, if there is excessive mold or severe peeling, you may need to designate a few extra days to remedy the situation. Therefore, it will be great to talk with an experienced painter to fix extensive issues before you can get started.

Another factor that affects the cost of painting a house is the paint itself. Different brands come in at different price points. When you’re selecting paint at the hardware store, don’t be afraid to mention your budget to the member of staff who’s helping you. You can also consult the web for recommendations on affordable paint. If you want a super-premium look or paint with minimal fumes you’ll pay extra.

You’re not expecting to paint entire houses on your own, are you? Once you’ve got your business set up, it’s time to figure out whether you want to hire employees or use subcontractors instead. If you choose the former option, you’ll have to buy equipment and supplies for your own workers to use—but you’ll retain control over your business. If you choose to use subcontractors, who are essentially professional freelance painters, you won’t have to buy materials—but you’ll lose some control over your business.

Because I used to be a teacher in the past life, I know how to make house painting simple.
Before engaging with homeowners, we provide a guaranteed quote. The cost of an interior paint job in Westchester, NY, is based upon these drivers: - Prep work – cleaning, patching, priming walls - Rehab work – extensive wall repair or wallpaper removal that is beyond standard prep requires extra time - Square Footage – the larger the area, the more labor, and material needed - Detail work – faux or textured finishes or extensive trim work takes extra time - Special needs – rush jobs, color consultation, or having hard to access areas require more resources or time - Material – we use quality products from Sherman Williams and Benjamin Moore as our standard paint; other options are available for specific needs or upon request.
If you're not confident in your ability to cut a clean, straight line with your paint brush - you might want to consider using some blue painter's tape to mask off any window and door trim, baseboards, crown moldings, etc. that you don't want to accidentally bump with your brush and roller cover.
As far as materials go, you’ll need paint and primer. How much you need of each depends on the size of your project and the material of your siding. On average, 1 gallon of paint will cover up to 400 square feet, and 1 gallon of primer covers about 250 square feet. Assume you’ll need two coats of paint.
We definitely took some short cuts when we first painted our house. Some rooms need to be redone now. It was like mess up a few rooms before we found out what really worked for us. LoveCompassionateLee February 25, 2015
