The full answer

No one painter is "the best" in Billings, and I can't confirm a top pick. What I found is mostly directory listings, and many of them are based on only a few reviews. These Billings painters were listed on Houzz with good ratings:

  • Patriot Painting: 5.0 stars from 4 reviews. The owner is a second-generation painter, raised in Billings, with about 18 years of experience.
  • Matt the Painter: 5.0 stars from 3 reviews. Does interior, exterior, residential and commercial work in Billings and nearby towns.
  • Allstar Painting & Decorating: 5.0 stars from 1 review. Interior and exterior painting.
  • Westside Painting: 5.0 stars from 1 review.
  • Trademasters Painting: 2115 Monad Rd. No reviews listed.

With so few reviews, those ratings don't tell you much. To narrow it down:

  1. Look at more review sites. Check Google, Yelp, Nextdoor, Angi and the BBB, and favor painters with lots of recent reviews.
  2. Check their license and insurance. Montana requires contractors to register with the state Department of Labor & Industry. Ask for proof of liability insurance and workers' comp.
  3. Get 3 written quotes. Make sure each one covers prep work, the paint brand and grade, the number of coats, cleanup and the warranty.
  4. Ask for local references or past jobs. Exterior work is especially worth seeing, because Billings' dry, sunny weather and freeze-thaw cycles are hard on paint.
  5. Ask local paint stores. Staff at Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore dealers usually know which contractors do careful work.
