"Dave did a fantastic job with fixing up our downstairs - removing popcorn ceiling, redoing with the orange peel and repainting. He also replaced our very old paneling with some new of our choosing. We purchased, he picked it up for us and delivered. Also volunteered to return an extra piece since I had ordered too much. 3 new doors - stained and installed. We love it. Dave is prompt, delivers what is promised on time. Very happy with his work. Definitely recommend Dave for his services."

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.
