"An absolute 10/10 experience. The attention to detail was immaculate and they were great at communicating with us about everything from their timeline and delivery schedules to what to expect with the process. They were also incredibly considerate around working with our schedules and making sure we felt great every step of the way. The process from start to finish was really seamless. I work from home a lot and never once felt uncomfortable being alone with the guys. We'll actually miss having them around, they are such a wonderful group of extremely kind and talented people that take pride in their work. They put in the time and effort like they were remodeling their own home and we had such a positive experience. I can't recommend Innovation Painting and Remodeling enough, we will absolutely be going to them for any future renovation projects."

"He started off great, but the project took three months longer then he said it would. We have pine knot stains showing through on our trim, he left holes in the window frame where old hardware was removed and did not patch them,, and he did not caulk any seams between baseboard or on painted paneling. We did not consider this to be a professional job and wasn't worth the money we paid."

FAQs for painting projects in Mount Desert, ME

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.
