"We had 2 bedrooms painted and they painting was completed in 2 days. The walls look great! All furniture was covered and patching was completed before painting began. All areas were completely cleaned up at the end of the day. We are very satisfied with the work. Eric and his crew were prompt, conscientious and demonstrated quality work. We would definitely recommend HPO Painting."

"Had MQ Painting paint the exterior of my house and garage and could not be happier. Did everything the right way! First came and power washed everything a few days before, then on first day of painting removed all old caulk and re-caulked, plus filled any holes. Gave everything 2 coats and on one part that was stain actually gave 3 coats. Original quote did not include foundation, soffit, gutters, front and rear stairs but Jose added those in at a reasonable price, so had those done too. Also painted chimney at no extra charge, On top of all this they completed the job in 2 days. Could tell from first time I had Jose come out to give me a quote he was very knowledgeable and passionate about his business and painting, which I really liked. I would not hesitate to recommend MQ Painting to anybody. I guarantee you will be happy with the quality of work and price you'll receive from MQ Painting."

"A really great experience - our new go-to painter! We got a recommendation for this contractor at our local paint store because we were looking for specific expertise with masonry paint and limewash. The owner was responsive, solutions-driven, reasonable and timely. His whole team was professional - and we really appreciated their high quality work product and attention to detail. The whole team delivered exactly what we wanted…..our home looks so beautiful now!"

Customers say: Quality work

"What a great job!, My deck looks absolutely beautiful. Antonio, Juan and Edgar (a wonderful family business) stripped, power washed and sanded my cedar deck down to Bare-wood and replaced all the bad wood. They stained all the railing with three coats of white stain and the deck floor and railing tops with 3 coats of dark stain. Juan designed a beautiful privacy wall.. Great care was taken to protect my patio furniture in Grill and house. I plan on having them back to paint my house in the spring! I highly recommend JM painting and remodeling!"

"My daughter found Alex and referred him to us for an interior house painting project. The job included painting the ceilings and walls in three bedrooms, changing all the window trim from black to white, and repainting the basement ceiling, walls, closet door, and the inside of the shelves from black to white. The project was completed in three and a half days, exactly as outlined in the contract agreement. The quality of the painting work was very good, and we are happy with the results. The only issue was that one item was accidentally left out of the contract. However, once I pointed it out to Alex, he immediately agreed to take care of it. Overall, we had a positive experience and appreciated his willingness to make things right."

Small jobs welcome

"Very professional in all aspects and would highly recommend hiring Excellence Painting for any type of paint job. They are prompt and responsive. They listen to how you would like the paint job complete and provide you with an accurate quote. After they are completed with the project they do a walk-thru to ensure you are pleased with the work. They are never in a rush to finish the job. They take their time to ensure the work is profession and meets the customerâ s expectation. We hired them for multiple small-projects around the house and would hire them in a heartbeat."

"We are returning customers of Brian Mull Painting and have been SO happy with the work they've done! We just changed the color of our main room, it was a darker blue and we had him paint over in SW Repose Gray. Although he didn't mention it I am sure it was NOT an easy job to paint over all that blue, and it looks gorgeous. They also did trim painting and touchups in the rest of the house. Brian and his team have a great work ethic, pay close attention to detail, and he was also very reasonable with his price for the job. Would highly recommend Brian Mull Painting- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all the way!"

FAQs for painting projects in Lake Villa, IL

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.
