"I spent 6 months on my weekends preparing my home for paint. After that amount of time and expense I was too tired to paint my home myself but was concerned with hiring a contractor...I wanted a great paint job. I went to the Home Advisor website and reviewed 3 painters and only called one based on what I read, Above the Cut Painting. All the reviews proved true. Hire this painting contractor, you will not be disappointed. Luigi and his assistant, Jose, do very nice work. They listened to my conerns and requests, were kind, respectful, and kept their word...rare qualities in people today. Thank you Luigi and Jose, I really appreciate what you did for me and my home."

FAQs for painting projects in Chico, CA

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.
