"The Perfect Edge Painting crew was punctual. C.W, Donna and Dana were polite but professional. They explained they would cover furniture with light plastic sheeting and move it out of the immediate work area. Heavy drop cloths were taped down on the floor. Cracks and drywall imperfections were filled, smoothed and sanded. Once the trio started painting , they stopped to ask if my wife and I were happy with the color and look of the new paint. They painted our entry hall, dining room, family room and kitchen. When they were done they cleaned and swept up. Apparently this crew has worked together for many years . They have high standards, their attention to details is impressive and their finished product is first rate. I was impressed. I would use them again and recommend them without hesitation."

"Mike and Carlos were great to work with. The team painted trim, walls and ceilings of several rooms in the house. Some with 25 foot ceilings. They removed wall paper and skimmed the wall to get it ready to paint. They were professional, timely, and made sure any loose ends were tied up. Of the 12 quotes I got they weren’t the cheapest but they provided the best value in that the quality was high but the cost were average! They’ll be coming back soon to paint the remaining areas of my house."

"We nneded to have our home's front exterior trim repainted. Jim Labbe was very prompt, pleasant and professional in his dealing with us and the crew he had working on our project. During the final inspection, when we realized that the window frames and adjoining trim were painted together, preventing windows from open normally, Jim immediately cut through the paint, and helped us check window openings. After completing our job, we received a personal handwritten note thanking us for our business. We would definitely Five Star Painting to others."

FAQs for painting projects in Lexington, KY

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.
