"All the employees from the sales person, to the 4 painters that were here, were very professional. The job was completed even earlier than expected. The entire indoors was primed and painted with the colors and finish I had chosen. I am extremely pleased with the job done!! After not being painted for 20 years, it looks like a whole new house here. All the smoke and nicotine stains, and a prior water damage repair are now gone, as well as the smells. I will gladly recommend INMARS Painting Solutions to others. Thank you very much for quality work at a very fair price."

"When I contacted C&G Painting Company LLC, Carlos provided a same-day estimate for painting the exterior of my brother's very neglected house that was built in 1939. The crew arrived the day after we agreed on the price, power-washed the house, made repairs as needed, and painted the house. How they managed to make the house almost look like new is a miracle. Despite having to travel 20 miles outside of Menominee, Michigan, this crew completed the work in 3 days. If every painting contractor provided this type of exceptional service at a very reasonable price, everyone with a frame house could keep it looking beautiful. I highly recommend C&G Painting Company LLC."

"Tommy and his crew did a great job re-staining our cabin and deck. Tommy communicated throughout the planning and painting process, which was very appreciated. He sent before and after photos to me because I could not be on site to see how it was going. Great experience working with him throughout the process. Highly recommended!"

"Ron and his son did a excellent job on painting are home. Ron helped us with the choice of colors. They were respectful and willing to work with us throughout the project. They painted our gutters, eves, down spouts, cedar siding, vinyl siding and are small shed. The work was done beautifully and professionally. Dutchman painting is a bit pricey but the work and professionalism is worth the expense. I also believe if there is any issue in the future they will be there and willing to help. That is worth it to me as well."

FAQs for painting projects in Appleton, WI

You’ll need 1 gallon of paint per 350 square feet of coverage. Typical amounts per room size:

  • Small room (200-400 sq. ft.): 1 gallon.

  • Medium-sized (400-800 sq. ft.): 2-4 gallons.

  • Large (800-1,200 sq. ft.): 5-gallons or more.

Painters usually make $20 per hour on average or about $40,000 per year. Independent contractors might pocket a little more. However, they must charge for overhead, such as vehicles, equipment, insurance, marketing and association dues.

Specialty painting, like murals and trompe l’oeil, costs $40 to $50 per hour. Paint might range between $75 to $90. The professional’s skill and experience are also determining factors. While a freelance artist might charge $25 to $30 an hour, a very skilled professional might charge $80 or more. Some might also charge $60 or more for a consultation.

Trompe l'oeil creates a realistic image or optical illusion in three dimensions. Murals are composed on a wall of any size. These two projects vary in price, with a trompe l'oeil typically costing more because of its complexity. Both are considered specialty projects.
