"Rob painted the hallway of our 4 storey condo, and also revarnished the much weathered front door. The entire project went so smoothly! Rob worked quickly, and neatly. The hallway looks fantastic. The entire job went so well, I asked him to paint our living room next!"

"The last job went just as well as the previous 2 times we used Worry Free painters. Nick was great to deal with; he kept his word and gave us a very fair price. The painters did a terrific job. They made sure the surfaces were very smooth by taking their time to patch and sand before painting. They were polite and friendly. They did a very professional job and thoroughly cleaned up afterwards. We used them 2 more times because of the terrific job they did the first time. All of the different painters were consistently professional. We  unconditionally recommend Nick and Worry Free Painters as professional painters. We were very pleased with the results.

"I had my 100-year-old Colonial home in Ridgewood, NJ painted this summer by Skyline Professional Painting, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The team paid incredible attention to detail, handling not only the painting but also much-needed repairs with skill and care. They were extremely respectful of my property, and their daily cleanup was a huge plus—it made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Aymen and his crew went above and beyond, and the results speak for themselves. If I ever need additional painting or restoration work, Skyline will be my only call. Highly recommend! 📞 (201) 562-7200"

FAQs for painting projects in Newark, 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.
