"Wilber's Painting was able to rehab the townhouse in an adequate amount of time. He knew that special paint needed to be applied to block odors and stains, before new paint could be applied to the walls and ceiling. He fixed ceilings with water damage and repaired drywall. He worked diligently and the rehab was very successful. I highly recommend Wilber's Painting."

"New Era Painting and Construction did a great job in painting several rooms in our house and repairing some rotten wood on our porch railing. They worked quietly, were courteous, handled our furnishings with care, and did a great job."

"Hector did a remarkable series of jobs. My project grew to have the entire inside of my entire home painted (not the ceilings) all of the exterior trim, and the deck (2 coats of Sherwin Williams solid stain - floor, railings, etc. hand painted). He also painted my garage walls, ceiling, and floor (using epoxy). Because I was not content with my choice of Alabaster for all of the main areas, he repainted using SW Pure White. There are so many decisions, and sometimes you get them wrong before you get them right. Additionally, he repainted my powder room. His preparation is extensive. I had no idea all that was required before the actual painting began. I am so pleased with the results. My home looks better than the new one. Katherine Carter"

"Lance and Elizabeth did a fantastic job painting our home. They painted our entire home (1800sqft) and they finished a day early. They were both very professional, nice, courteous and they even won over our three dogs. Our house looks brand new with the crisp edge paint work on the baseboards. We love it. We will be using Lance and Elizabeth for any future paint needs. Money well spent!"

FAQs for painting projects in Charlotte, 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.
