"If you are in the Lansing area and you are looking for a trustworthy, talented, responsible painter, I would like to recommend Arriaga Complete Construction. Marcos and his team just finished a big interior paint job in our house. These are the words I would use to describe our experience. Marcos and his team are timely, courteous, careful, talented, communicative, prompt, reliable and trustworthy. I will be using them again when we are ready for our next project."

"Eric Rich and his 4-man team from Go Green Painters did outstanding work for us. They power washed and painted our house and power washed and stained our deck. They were professional and friendly. I was impressed with their attention to detail and the pride that each member of the team took in his work. Eric went on and beyond the minimum by replacing 3 of our deck boards. (Finding places to buy deck boards was not easy â he had to call many businesses before he was able to get them. (They are hard to come by at this time). I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Go Green Painters â They do much more than painting."

"Hired CMS to paint walls in several rooms in my house including stairwell with high ceilings. The quote was at the low end of the range of quotes I received. They were willing to accommodate my schedule. project was completed ahead of schedule, under the quoted price. Jason was very easy to work with and had great customer service that exceeded my expectations.. Paint was done extremely well, and no spills on the stained trim and hardwood floors, nothing on the ceiling. He was very careful and didnâ t even leave a scratch. I am very satisfied with the job."

FAQs for painting projects in East Lansing, 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.
