At a glance

How this list was built

The October 2026 snapshot uses ratings and review counts stored in the MidTen Home Pros directory. To qualify, a company had to be approved, tagged for this service, show a 4.5-or-higher rating, have review data, and fit the category. New additions were checked against first-party service evidence; a directory tag alone was not enough. Companies are ordered by review count, with rating as a tiebreaker. Review totals can change. Reviews for multi-service businesses reflect the overall company, not a trade-specific score. Paid MidTen placements do not affect this order.

What homeowners should ask before hiring

For interior or exterior painting, Ask for prep, repairs, primer, paint line, number of coats, protection, cleanup, and lead-safe practices for pre-1978 homes in writing.

• Get the complete scope, exclusions, payment schedule, and change-order process in writing.
• Verify licensing when the work requires it and request current insurance directly from the provider.
• Compare at least two written proposals on the same scope; the lowest number may omit important work.
• Do not treat rating or review count as a substitute for checking recent, job-specific feedback and references.

How to read this ranking

A high review count shows a larger public feedback history; a high star rating shows the average sentiment in that snapshot. Neither proves that a company is the right fit for every project. Read recent reviews for your job type, compare written scopes, and verify details directly.
