"My walls are now smooth and just like new after being repaired and painted. One of the painters repaired and painted my front door which is now flawless. This saved me the expense from having to purchase a new door. Also, the painters were always punctual, courteous, and respectful. I now have a new home since the painting and will be calling them back for additional painting in the future."

"Painting one side of house exterior (about 1000 sq feet). Very courteous, arrived on time. Masked all stone/brick work, all fixtures and all windows in the job area were completely covered. Repaired selected trim locations and replaced all nail pops with spiral grip galvanized nails. Caulked all joints and seams, painted the gutters and down spouts to match. Cleaned up the work area well. Have not found any drips on any non-painted surfaces."

"Alex did an outstanding job painting my bathroom, kitchen, and hallways. He very professional, punctual, friendly, and helpful throughout the process. He took the time to meticulously correct many of the imperfections in the walls and ceilings before expertly priming and painting the surfaces. He also did a great job laying tarps prior to working and cleaning up afterwards. I couldn't be more happy with his work."

FAQs for painting projects in Detroit, MI

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.
