"I can highly recommend Sunshine Painting. Samantha was always very professional, prompt in her visits and always returned calls and emails. We required some siding and dry rot repair, which Ben repaired expertly. The crew painted our tall house with great care and attention. They discovered some additional dry rot while working, so we put a pause on the project to allow repairs on that, before they returned to finish up. The finished result is outstanding. Their pricing is straightforward and reasonable. Can highly recommend, so happy!"

Customers say: True professional

"Homan Painting is a two-man operation. Jim and his brother gave us a reasonable bid and so we hired them. They were professional and reliable. They prepped the house by power washing and doing some scraping. They don't scrape old paint as much as other companies I have seen a worked with. Instead they scrape some and then use a product that adheres to the old paint and walls and is supposed to keep the new paint from flaking off. Fingers crossed this will work. It took about 10 days from start to finish. They did a good job and were pleasant to work with."

"After getting 3 quotes Aguirre Painting was the best. They were also very professional and organized. The paint job they did for me was beautiful. Before and after the job the owners met with me to make sure they knew what I wanted and that the job was done correctly. I highly recommend this company and I will be using them again."

"Professional House Painters painted my living and dining rooms as well as a short hallway and a built in furniture piece. The rooms have wood paneling and painting them turned the room from a dark cave unto beautiful room. Alex and Jose (crew chief) were very professional and got the work done as quickly as possible while doing a wonderful job. As a really wonderful bonus, they removed and washed the storm windows after they finished painting. They did a great job and I'll be calling them when I'm ready to paint the rest of our home."

"Carlos painted my home and shop 3 years ago and did an excellent job. I got a bid for painting my deck railing and staining the deck itself. The bid came quickly and very reasonable. The job was done quickly and just as we had agreed upon. You wonâ t be disappointed."

"One word: WOW! Brian Clark transformed our house from a mishmash of poorly painted walls into a thing of beauty in every room! Honestly, our home looks like a new house on the inside! Brian and Kimberley Clark are so professional, prompt, and courteous. I was thoroughly impressed by Brian's attention to detail as well as his work ethic and dedication to doing the most amazing job! I'd highly recommend Clark Quality Painting to anyone who needs painting or staining work done on their home--no matter what size the project. Brian and Kimberley showed the utmost respect for me, my husband, and our (now new-looking) home. What a tremendous team effort."

"So happy we chose D&N Colors Painting, LLC when we decided to have our house painted. They pressure washed the house, our ramp, and the carport. We had them stain our ramp, too. Everything is just beautiful. And to top things off the price was very reasonable. We would recommend this company to all our friends and family."

FAQs for painting projects in Portland, OR

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.
