"I hired Owen's to repair several areas in my drywall, including existing cracks and cracks that were previously repaired poorly by a handyman. When I first discussed the project with Chris, I was expecting the drywall to be repaired and textured so that the cracked areas would be barely noticeable, realizing that matching the existing texture exactly was not possible. Also, he would touch up the cracks once repaired with paint I provided. When Cody arrived (on-time), he seemed unsure about what exactly needed to be done. Also, some of the equipment he needed was in their other work truck, so he had to leave later to get that equipment. He, with Chris' help, did get the cracks repaired and they did look better than before they started. Also, he did make a special trip for an additional $100 to buy matching paint for the dining room. However, no texturing was done at all so the previously cracked areas are now just flat stretches of dry wall. One of the repaired areas has a noticeable finger swipe. One cracked area in the dining room and two cracked areas in the adjoining laundry room were missed and still need repaired. Finally, Cody used paint thinner (my wife was very bothered by the odor) to clean up drywall mud spatter on our dining room tile floor. However, he missed several spots there and in our kitchen that we still need to clean up ourselves. They seemed rushed since they had to be done that day, so maybe that was why the texturing was skipped."

FAQs for painting projects in Athens, TX

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.
