"Fantastic. From the estimate all the way to the clean-up, Narciso and his crew were consummate professionals and hard workers. I don't have a single complaint, everyone in the neighborhood loves the result, and I'd recommend Paz Painting to anyone."

"Jesus and his team take projects seriously. They communicate details well, treat your home with care, and perform a meticulous and professional job. They complete your project to your satisfaction and everything will be clean when the job is completed. I found Jesus and his team to be hard-working and they take pride in their work. (interior painting, deck staining and sealing and front door stain and varnish)"

"Over the course of the last year Grady Jones Paint has worked for me on (3) different occasions to repaint our home interior. The scope of work included scraping the popcorn ceilings, flattening them and then repainting them; repainting all of the walls; painting our cabinetry; and, finally, staining the exposed woodwork on our deck. Clee was very responsive and visited the project every time his workers were on site. Tim and Eddie made up the crew who did the work. They were amicable, professional, courteous and did a GREAT job. I plan to use Grady Jones Paint for any future work and recommend them to anyone in need of a paint contractor."

"Can't praise this company enough! I have used them twice and have been more than satisfied with the results! First time was a last minute job and they responded immediately and w/in 24 hours it was done. Second time I had to keep rescheduling (changes on my part) and All Pro was very accommodating and completely worked with me every step of the way. The quality of paint and work is top notch. I will always use this company for all my painting jobs! Plus the cost is unbeatable! Thank you All Pro!

"Jose did an excellent job painting our house. He was communicative throughout the process and was able to be flexible with our schedule. We recently had the floors refinished and he took special care to make sure they didnâ t get damaged or paint on them. Jose finished a high quality job in less time than expected and was flexible to add some additional painting projects to the job. I highly recommend Cortes painting!"

"I was in need of immediate painting for a new office I was moving into. The Express team not only responded quickly to my request on Angi but came out the very next day to give me an estimate and then began the work within a couple of days! Painting was well done and my office respected—cleaned up as if they’d never been there. Highly recommend Express Yourself Paint."

"Javier did a great job with being on time. He was super efficient with his application and technique. He painted my entire pool deck with a paint brush instead of a roller, and he completed the deck within the same day. He started at 6:00 am, worked 4+ hours, left to address another job, allowing the solid stain some time to penetrate into the wood; then, returned later that same day to apply the second coat. It has been approximately one week since Javier completed this job. The deck has dried beautifully. I would highly recommend Javier for his reliability, efficiency and cleanliness. I would use him again, without question, on future projects."

"We purchased a mid-century farm house and nearly every room had cracks on the plaster walls and ceilings. As well as wallpaper throughout the kitchen and all the bathrooms. Naturally, our family did not have the expertise or time to address all the cosmetic fixes in the house therefore, we decided to recruit professional painters. We had multiple general contractors and painters visit the house to review the work needed to repair the walls, ceilings, kitchen, baths, patio and shed, but none of these businessmen were as thorough and articulate as Mr. Fermin Ortiz owner of “International Painting LLC.” Fermin spent almost three hours walking through the house and property. Taking detailed notes of all the discrepancies we wanted mended and all the while explaining how fix each defect. We were simply surprised of Fermin’s willingness to share the trade techniques to us and we were greatly appreciative that he clarify each method of repair to the plaster, ceiling, wallpaper and removing the lead off the patio and shed. Based on Fermin’s knowledge and honesty. We decided to engage him over the other contractors who had submitted proposals for the project. Once the job was underway, it was apparent that Fermin and his staff are artisans with a fondness of detail. They spent a week and a half merely preparing all the surfaces ready to paint. Sanding, steaming and sealing cracks seemed an eternity, but the time was well spent. The house is a new home with a fresh coat of paint. Gone are the cracks, wallpaper and glue, lead. Mr. Fermin Ortiz is a craftsman. Should you require his expertise? Be assured that he and his staff will do their utmost to deliver the best product for you. And above all their workmanship is unrivalled by any other contractor in our area."

FAQs for painting projects in Cary, NC

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.
