"Dan painted the entire interior of our house as part of a remodeling job. He worked around our schedule which was great and broke the job up into smaller projects which we appreciated. We couldn’t be more pleased with the finished project!"

"We had some electrical work done that resulted in needed drywall repair (part of which was ceiling work). Victor was out the next day and did a fabulous job. He is very professional, cleaned up everything and was fairly priced. He came when he said he would and the drywall repair is awesome. You cannot tell there was any repair at all. We have now hired him for some painting work. I highly recommend."

"Costello Painting did an amazing job! Hugh and his brother were friendly, professional and super easy to work with. Early in the project, they had painted some of the railing and we didn't like the color we had chosen from the brochure once it was on the deck; they went back to get different paint twice until we were satisfied with the color - no problem. It was almost 90 and humid (of course) today and they still seemed like they were having fun staining our deck in the hot sun! Cleaned up after and even left us with some extra stain for down the road. These guys clearly love what they do and I would hire them again in a second! A+"

"Yovani and his team did a fantastic job. He painted the entire 1st and 2nd floor of our home in 4 days while we were away. Everything looks so great. Painting very professional. All rooms back in place including wall hangings before we returned. I highly recommend this team. They also painted and sealed our 83 year old brick home earlier in the summer."

"The house looks amazing! In fact, a couple of neighbors asked who did the painting, we shared the contact, and they worked with JD Hostetter also. Finally, I had received 10 quotes for the paint job, and their price was easily the best."

FAQs for painting projects in Columbus, IN

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.
