"Chad painted the exterior of my house, including brick that had never been painted. His preparation, multi-step sealing/painting process, and overall quality of work were great. He regularly kept in touch on matters that required discussion, signaling a strong customer orientation. The one thing he could have done better was controlling paint chips that ended up in a planting bed. I am quite happy with his work and will use him again when I need painting done."

"We hired Wilbur and team to paint the exterior of our home in Newport, KY. We'd done a fair amount of research and spoke to some other home owners who had good experiences with WR Painting. We are extremely happy with the results. Wilbur's team arrived early each morning, did a great job cleaning and prepping the project, painting the house, and cleaning up when they were done. They were very hard working and got the project done much faster than I'd expected. Our home is a historic home with lots of details requiring special attention and Wilbur's team did a great job working with us to ensure each piece was finished the way we wanted it. I would recommend Wilbur and team to anyone."

Their attention to details and the time they take to prep before painting is what sets them apart from other painters. They go above and beyond to make sure that the end product looks great."

FAQs for painting projects in Cincinnati, OH

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.
