"I would highly recommend Jimdandi Painting for any painting needs. For us, they did a fabulous job on our home exterior. I could not have been more satisfied! Note that this is not a typical painting company: the owner Dan works with just two other men and it was obvious that all three took great pride in their work. When Dan came to do the estimate he did an excellent job first listening then explaining their process and materials. He made it clear that they wouldn't be the cheapest because their company and approach are different. Dan carefully customized the service based on our situation. For example, with our house, the builder did a poor job installing the HardiPlank siding, thus there were loose boards and many more nail holes and gaps than would have otherwise been present. Dan suggested a different grade of chalk that would expand and contract more than the typical painters chalk that is applied and can be painted over immediately. In this case, after the house was thoroughly cleaned, the crew checked and secured all loose planks, scraped and chalked, and then allowed the caulk to cure for a week before starting the painting. This is just one example of the care Dan and his crew took during the job. Bottomline, if you want and excellent job that I'm convinced will perform and look great for many years, contact Jimdandi Painting."

"Mark was very particular in matching the original paint color and matching the exact kind of paint which no one ever did before. He did not oversell and was very honest about what needed to be done.
His crew led by Bob, were very punctual.  Clean up was excellent.

"I Hired ONiT painting to paint my dad's 1600 sq. ft. home. They did an amazing job! My dad's home was a darker color and had a ton of imperfections in the walls & they cleaned up all the walls, freshly painted and did an excellent job. The crew was timely & cleaned up well. The estimator was very nice, honest & extremely professional. All of their staff took appropriate Covid precautions & we felt safe welcoming them into our home. Their estimate wasn't the most expensive nor was it the cheapest, it was priced just right. They're professionalism took them over the edge and we knew they'd be the perfect fit for what we wanted done. I'd recommend them to anyone needing painting work done! Plan to hire them again for additional projects. Thanks for the great work!"

"Steve and his team did a great job in every aspect of this project. They were quick to come out and give us an estimate and start on painting the bedroom. The work is immaculate and they cleaned up very well after themselves. I highly recommend this company and already plan on using them again to stain my exterior door."

FAQs for painting projects in Indianapolis, 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.
