"We purchased a home and needed a large amount painting to be done. Bobby was professional through the entire process. He was there when he said he would be, paid attention to detail and left everything clean. He did a great job and was fairly priced. I would highly recommend him and definitely use him for all of our painting needs."

"John and Lou spackled and painted the interior walls and ceilings, and stained the front door of the house. These guys were punctual, clean, and responsive in addressing any and all concerns that I had during the job. The house looks gorgeous."

"Mark and his crew at ABC Fine Home Painting were very professional and provided quality service. Mark worked with us to provide an accurate estimate. Then he power washed our outbuildings' exteriors and came back later after drying to scrape, paint, and touchup. He clipped vines growing up the side of our structures (with permission) and removed weeds to ensure a thorough and quality paint job. The double barn, stable and additional building took three weeks from start to finish and they stayed all day everyday to ensure the job was done as quickly as possible. Should weather be a concern Mark was in constant contact regarding work schedules. The entire project was explained step by step and the suggested timeline was followed. We were so happy with his work we hired him immediately following to paint our kitchen. Again, the job was done very thoroughly and professionally. Mark asks after each job is completed to inspect the work and to find anything we'd like fixed before he's willing to accept payment. We will definitely use his company again."

"Working with JT Lawler Painters was one of the best experiences I've had with a service contractor beginning to end. The quality of their work was superb and reflected true craftsmanship from prep to paint. The entire team were extremely professional, responsive, and attentive. They worked hard to complete the project six days ahead of schedule! You may be able to find a cheaper painter, but you won't find better value."

"Paul and his crew of two additional painters worked with us to be sure we were happy. Work included having to prep walls that I removed wallpaper myself from unprofessionally, and they made them look new again! They were organized, clean and even used a HEPA vacuum (managing dust). They worked quickly, yet professionally every day and performed every agreed upon step as contracted. I received a few quotes for the work and Paul s price was very competitive, but equally important, he and his team were a pleasure to have work in our home. We are 100% satisfied and now my wife wants to paint more rooms because we found Paul and Central Jersey Painting. They trustworthy and we are lucky to have found them through Homeadvisor. A+++"

FAQs for painting projects in Hillsborough, NJ

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.
