We work on the East Side, the West End, Federal Hill, Elmwood, Mount Pleasant and the South Side, and in Cranston, Pawtucket, East Providence, Warwick and beyond.

Most houses here are wood and were built long before 1978. That means clapboard and cedar shingles outside, plaster inside, a great deal of trim and a real chance of lead in the old paint layers. Winters are cold and wet, summers are humid, and damp air comes up from Narragansett Bay. Paint lets go first at sills, porch floors and the lowest boards. So in this city the washing, scraping, priming and caulking matter more than the color coat.
A job starts with a free visit. We look at the surfaces, measure and ask what you want done. You get a written quote that lists the areas, the prep, the number of coats and the price. On the agreed day we protect floors, furniture and plants, do the repairs and prep, then paint. At the end we walk the job with you, fix what you point out and clean up. Call or text (401) 414-4566 to set a time.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to paint a house in Providence?
By national figures published by HomeGuide for 2026, a whole interior costs $3,500 to $10,000 on average and an exterior costs $3,000 to $10,000 for a 2,000 square foot house. Those are not our quotes. Old plaster, height, trim and prep set your price, and we give it in writing after a free estimate.
My house was built before 1978. Does lead paint change the job?
Yes. Rhode Island requires lead-safe work when painted surfaces are disturbed in pre-1978 homes, and the painting company needs a Lead Renovation Firm licence from the Rhode Island Department of Health. Ask any painter to show it.
Do painters need a license in Rhode Island?
There is no separate painter's trade license, but painters must register with the state Contractors' Registration and Licensing Board and carry liability insurance. You can look up any contractor at crb.ri.gov. Providence Painting Solutions is licensed and insured.
When can the outside of a house be painted in Providence?
Roughly May to early October. The wall must be dry and warm enough for the paint, and rain, dew and cold nights decide the exact days. Interior painting goes on all year.
Do I need approval for paint colors in a Providence historic district?
No. The Providence Historic District Commission does not review paint color or the repainting of painted surfaces. It does review changes to siding, trim and other materials. Condo associations may have their own rules.
Do you do the prep work and move furniture?
Yes. Patching, sanding, caulking and priming are part of the job and the quote. We move and cover furniture and protect floors. We only ask you to put away small and fragile items.
