Before hiring a painter, homeowners picture the finished wall

People hiring a house painter worry about three things: whether furniture and floors will be protected, whether the finish will be even, and how messy the house will get. Helpful images show painter's tape along baseboards, plastic draped over a sofa, a loaded roller on the tray, a brush cutting in along the ceiling line, and a freshly painted wall with someone seen from behind holding a mug. They cover prep, craft, and the room the client hopes to live in.

Where each painting photo belongs

• Homepage: A freshly finished wall in 16:9, with the smooth side open for your name and service area.
• Interior and exterior services: A roller in a living room for interiors, scaffolding and siding for exteriors, so visitors find their job type quickly.
• How we work: A prep sequence of sanding, patching cracks, taping, and the first coat to explain what your estimate covers.
• Google Maps listing: Open cans and clean brushes on a wooden table, showing you take care of your gear.
• Facebook posts: Color swatches painted on a wall in 4:5 to invite homeowners to book a color consultation.

Things worth getting right

• If you only do residential work, skip industrial coatings or epoxy floors you don't offer.
• Leave out drips on the floor or ragged edges; that's exactly what clients are afraid of.
• Pick wall colors that suit homes in your area rather than shades your supplier can't mix.
• Reference walls aren't your jobs, so photograph each finished house for your portfolio.
