"We had 2 bedrooms painted and they painting was completed in 2 days. The walls look great! All furniture was covered and patching was completed before painting began. All areas were completely cleaned up at the end of the day. We are very satisfied with the work. Eric and his crew were prompt, conscientious and demonstrated quality work. We would definitely recommend HPO Painting."

"Had MQ Painting paint the exterior of my house and garage and could not be happier. Did everything the right way! First came and power washed everything a few days before, then on first day of painting removed all old caulk and re-caulked, plus filled any holes. Gave everything 2 coats and on one part that was stain actually gave 3 coats. Original quote did not include foundation, soffit, gutters, front and rear stairs but Jose added those in at a reasonable price, so had those done too. Also painted chimney at no extra charge, On top of all this they completed the job in 2 days. Could tell from first time I had Jose come out to give me a quote he was very knowledgeable and passionate about his business and painting, which I really liked. I would not hesitate to recommend MQ Painting to anybody. I guarantee you will be happy with the quality of work and price you'll receive from MQ Painting."

"Casey and his team did a great job painting our house. They were very thorough – they repaired our plaster walls and even called in another skilled professional to get the job done right. They were priced fairly, worked efficiently and supported our unconventional painting choices. Thanks, Casey!"

Customers say: Quality work

"We have used JM Painting and Construction on several projects throughout the years, including building our back patio, exterior staining and interior painting. Antonio and his father are honest, fair, and dependable. They always show up on time when they are scheduled and are very transparent with their pricing, and communicate any issues if they arise, so there aren't any surprises. They complete all projects to our satisfaction, and everything is done with the highest quality. We are very happy with the work they have done for us over the years and will continue using JM Painting for future projects."

"Very professional in all aspects and would highly recommend hiring Excellence Painting for any type of paint job. They are prompt and responsive. They listen to how you would like the paint job complete and provide you with an accurate quote. After they are completed with the project they do a walk-thru to ensure you are pleased with the work. They are never in a rush to finish the job. They take their time to ensure the work is profession and meets the customerâ s expectation. We hired them for multiple small-projects around the house and would hire them in a heartbeat."

"Touchstone Painting is unequalled. A couple of years ago, Jonathan Richards painted a bedroom for me and last year painted the shudders outside my house. The shudders had faded significantly but still had a texture to them that many painters would not have preserved. Jonathan not only preserved the texture, but matched the color of the previous shudders perfectly. A year later after four seasons, the shudders still look amazing! When he painted my bedroom, I told him he needn’t use a drop cloth since I was replacing the carpet. Even without a drop cloth, I think I saw maybe 2 spots. Jonathan’s work is without equal. I highly recommend him!"

FAQs for painting projects in Arlington Heights, IL

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.
