"Wes and the crew at Straight Edge Painting Pros were outstanding. Wes quickly returned my calls, gave a very reasonable quote, and the crew did an outstanding job repairing damaged wood and staining the house. In addition we had new wood garage doors installed after the house was stained and the Straight Edge team came back right after installation to stain these doors as part of the original estimate. We are very satisfied and would strongly recommend Straight Edge Painting Pros to anyone looking for house painters."

"Rodrigo and his team completely transformed my kitchen. They painted my wooden stained cabinets, walls, trim and ceiling. The cabinets look like new! They are expert painters and pay close attention to detail. I would hire them again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone in need of their services!"

"They did great! Their main painter, Ruben, was very thorough and went out of his way to straighten things up. They went over everything with me when it was done. Mark always called to check in and came back to make sure I was satisfied. I was very pleased with them!"

"Was a BIG job! David and crew did excellent work. Painted all interior walls, trim and some ceilings. In fact, we have hired him to return late spring to paint the exterior and garage walls."

"We highly recommend Paul. He was very knowledgeable and professional. He gave us a reasonable quote and was able to start the project in a few days. He kept us informed throughout the job concerning the schedule and the work he would be doing and he finished the job ahead of schedule. Top quality work, he scrubbed the gutters by hand and even spread straw for us around the fence posts to keep mud from splashing on the fresh paint. We are on his schedule next month to paint our deck."

FAQs for painting projects in Chester, SC

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.
