"They were very personable and worked hard to complete painting/staining my 4 doors (outside). We are very pleased with the work done. Would highly recommend Shermanâ s Painting. I would give them 5 in all areas shown above."

"G&L Painting has done both interior and exterior painting on my two story, stucco home. Both painting projects involved a color change. Earl Lewis took the time to listen to what I wanted, then made recommendations as to proper preparation and paint quality choices. He demonstrated respect for my property by laying out drop clothes and working cleanly. Everything turned out beautifully, as he promised."

They are our go to company for all our repairs and maintenance needs. Excellent roofing and repair company! You won’t be disappointed. They even did a Commercial wash down and maintenance on the inside of a huge bakery. Great Company!"

"The job they did for me was removal and replacement of silicone grout in my shower. They did a great job of cleaning the mold/mildew that was behind the old grout and replacing it with new. It looks great!"

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.

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.
