"We had Leo and his crew repair and stain our deck a few years ago, and had them back to paint our main level - bedrooms, bathroom, living room, family room, kitchen, and laundry. They also removed and refinished popcorn ceilings. Besides doing a great job. The guys from High Rollers are just fun to have around the house."

"Jose and his team did a great job painting my kitchen cabinets and main floor! He was timely, very communicative and the job was gone very well. I will definitely be going back to him in the future if I need more painting work!"

"The painter stined my small 2-panel fence beautifully. However, I was initially quoted $100 after sending a picture and inviting them out to view it and the painter showed up, told me it was bigger than he thought, and told me it was going to be $250."

"We hired Davids Painting to clean and restain our 2 level deck. Each level is 10' X 20" with cedar shake wall along the lower level. They were professional, thorough and kept us informed on the progress of the project. They kept the area clean and neat all the while they were here and were very pleasant to work with. I would give Davids Painting a 5 Star Review and would reccomend them to anyone."

"Hired this company to help update my kitchen cabinets. The owner was very good to work with, very accommodating and the crew were amazing! They kept the areas around them cleaned up and respected the home. The cabinets turned out incredible. Very nice finish, they look like glass they are so perfect! Added 2 rooms to be painted which both were done timely and again clean and professional and last had them update our wood fence. Needed to be pressure washed, stained and sealed. Again a great job done. No complaints. Would highly recommend this company for any needs you are needing around the house. Hard to find professional, clean and all around good people and this company had it all! Will be using them again in the future."

"As others have mentioned they were easy to work with and ensured you were happy with the end result. They came back and did touch ups where needed and cleaned up any spots where paint was where it shouldn't be (e.g., on wood work adjacent to the painted wall). I intend to hire again."

"Ross picked up where the last contractor left me with the worst craftsmanship and unfinished work. Ross was timely, precise, and actually took pride in his work. I was very surprised with his work. My previous contractor cut my door frames off and Ross fixed them to look normal, you'd would never know they were cut off. I would recommend him to get the job done right and timely with integrity."

FAQs for painting projects in Elk River, MN

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.
