Questions people ask about house painters in Hilo

How many licensed house painters are in Hilo?

10 house painters hold an active Hawaii Contractors License Board (DCCA PVL) licence with a mailing address in Hilo, checked on 4 November 2026. 8 of them have been licensed for 10 years or more.

Does a house painter need a licence in Hawaii?

Yes, unless the whole job, labour and materials, costs $1,500 or less and needs no building permit. That is Hawaii's small-job exemption (HRS 444-2(4)), and it never covers part of a larger project. Look for an active C-33, C-33a, C-33b licence.

How do I check a house painter's licence in Hilo?

Ask for the licence number and look it up on the Hawaii CLB website, or search this page. Every house painter listed here was matched to an active licence on the Hawaii CLB register.

Which house painters rank highest in Hilo?

By our published formula (years licensed, complaint record, bond and insurance, and Google reviews), the top three are Craig S Shiigi (57), Taialoha Co Inc (55), Qualified Painting Service Inc (55). Paying or claiming a listing never changes the order.

How much do house painters charge in Hilo?

House painters in the Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area metro earn a median $33.00 an hour (BLS, May 2025); contractors typically bill about twice the wage to cover insurance, overhead and profit.

Do I need a lead-safe certified house painter in Hilo?

If your home was built before 1978 and the work disturbs paint, yes: the law requires a firm certified lead-safe by the US Environmental Protection Agency. 54% of homes here were built before 1980 (US Census, ACS 2024 1-year), and 0 of the 10 licensed house painters listed are certified.
