A good place to start is to ask a trusted friend or general contractor for a recommendation. For my Cape Cod cottage, I found a great painter who painted the homes of my cousin, a contractor; my aunt, an architect; and my other aunt, who is even more picky than the other two. Prior to this painter however, I had hired a guy based on the recommendation of another friend with a similar historic house. Disaster! The paint job didn’t last two years. That’s why even with a recommendation, Nigel suggests you do some online research. Find out if others agree with your friend’s or relative’s assessment of the painter’s work, or if the contractor has experience working on your type of house.

Finally, you'll want to make sure that both your brush and roller cover are loaded up with paint so that there are no dry bristles or fibers - leaving a streaky or inconsistent finish.
Maybe the paint color didn’t turn out the way you hoped. Don’t stress it can be changed.
Finally, you need to paint the walls around you. This step is by far the easiest, and many people find it to be the most fun. To get the paint into the wall you could use a brush or a spray, but the best idea is to get a roller. First, dip the roller into some paint and make sure each side of it is evenly covered.
Fallyn Flaherty-Earp, a marketing manager for the Paint Quality Institute, recommends the following when it comes to choosing specific types of paint:

Plan your house painting around clear weather as your home’s surface needs to be completely dry, so the primer and paint adhere properly. Choose a day that has a relative humidity of around 50% with temperatures that remain consistent.
What about a paint sprayer? A spray-painted finish may not be quite as durable as hand-painted one, but using a power sprayer can be a real time saver, especially on hard-to-paint irregular surfaces such as shingle siding and latticework.
