About Hilltop

Built on honest work — and the homes we leave behind.

Hilltop started in 2012 with one truck, one ladder, and one rule: every painted surface should outlast the warranty. Fourteen years later, we're a small, hand-picked crew of seven craftsmen serving the Indianapolis metro — and that rule still hasn't changed.

We do one thing: residential painting. We never sub the work out. We never use contractor-grade paint. And we never leave a job until you've walked every room with us. That's why 98% of our clients say they'd hire us again — and why most of our work comes from a neighbor pointing at the house next door.

"Our 1920s cabinets looked brand new when Hilltop finished. They took them back to their shop, did everything spotless, and reinstalled — no mess in our kitchen. Highly recommend."

Questions, answered plainly.

No jargon, no fine print. If you don't see your question below, call us directly — we answer our own phones most of the time.

Call us: (317) 555-0142
How long does a typical interior job take?
Most single-room jobs are one to two days. A full interior repaint runs five to nine days depending on square footage and trim detail. We give you a firm day count with the written estimate — and we hit it.
What paint brands do you use?
Benjamin Moore Regal Select and Aura, Sherwin-Williams Emerald and Duration. Premium lines only — never contractor-grade. We pass our distributor discount through to you.
Do you move furniture?
Yes. We move what we can, cover what we can't, and put everything back exactly how we found it. Fragile pieces and electronics are always your call.
What does the 10-year warranty cover?
Any peeling, cracking, or workmanship issue on surfaces we painted. If it fails because of how we applied it — we come back and fix it. Period. Written, not verbal.
How much does a typical job cost?
Whole-home interiors run $3,500–$9,500 depending on size and trim. Exteriors run $4,500–$14,000. Cabinet refinishing averages $3,200 for a standard kitchen. Every quote is written, itemized, and free.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. 0% for 12 months on approved credit, or extended terms up to 60 months. We handle the paperwork during the estimate.
