"Feria went above and beyond to fix the siding on my house and did an excellent job painting my house. They worked in a timely manner. They matched the paint perfectly. They cleaned up after themselves when the job was finished. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I highly recommend Feria Professional Painters."

"The Pros did an excellent job! The work ended up encompassing repair to parts of the hallway which were not anticipated but the Pros worked relentlessly to make the repairs to the sheetrock and finish the interior painting on time. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and price of the services provided and highly recommend The Pros!"

"First contact with this company was with John Martin. He came to our house and noted all work to be done then gave us an estimate. John was very easy to work with and helped with some ideas I was unsure of. He explained the whole timeline of the job. We were able to have the job started quite promptly, the first day Courtney met us at the house and introduced us to Eder Neito our painter. She also checked the paint colours to make sure we were right. Through the whole process John kept checking back via text. Both he and Courtney also came to the house to check on the work. We’re really happy with the outcome and highly recommend Painter Bros. Eder Neito did a fantastic job and was so neat and tidy, not one paint spot spilled any where. The last painters we had did a terrible job and the paint was peeling off our doors, Eder fixed them all and they look so nice now."

"Premium services did exterior and interior painting for my home. They also power washed all of my concrete surfaces. They are a trustworthy team who show up on time and complete their work to the customers liking. Would use them again on any of my projects."

FAQs for painting projects in Athens, AL

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.
