Professional painter recs (HarCo/North BaltCo)?
I'm looking for professional painters who'll come up to Aberdeen to paint our bedroom and stairwell/upstairs hallway. I know I can start looking around and Googling, but as with any other service, I'd prefer recommendations from folks who have either hired the folks or know-and-trust them.
Thanks ladies!

Several of my customers have used him for painting. He is licensed and insured. This is my uncle and he is very dependable. He lives in Street MD (i think thats right!) but he does work all over.
The guys that we just used for the library are probably a little far, so I just checked Angie's list and Goode was definitely the closest to you - and they have a million great reviews on top of Mary's!!

No recs on painters, but as for paints you can't go wrong with Sherwin Williams...
My Sister's MIL is an interior designer and she will ONLY use Sherwin Williams paints. She said that they are the best paints around for even color and they apply with the least number of coats. (So it ends up being cost effective because even though it is pricey you need less.)
At the Sherwin Williams store you can bring ANYTHING it and they will color match it. They used to have a commercial where they little girl brought in a flower and they color matched it.
I have heard some not so nice things about the Martha Stewart paints. (They have nice colors, but I hear that it takes TONS of coats of paint.)
Of course I learned all this AFTER DH and I painted our house. We used the Baer paints from Home Depot. They were okay. We were working from dry wall and it sucked up SO much primer. I swear we primed at least 4 times. It was like the paint was disappearing into the wall. We used 5 5 gallon drums of primer in our living room alone.
I refuse to paint ever again after that- lol.
