"Chris was wonderful to work with from start to finish. We hired Perfection Painting and Wallpapering to paint our entire downstairs and upstairs hallway, and the experience was seamless. Chris provided a transparent quote, he & his team arrived on time every single day, and completed the job ahead of schedule. Most importantly, the quality of work exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend Perfection Painting & Wallpapering."

Customers say: Quality work

"We had a very pleasant experience with Kevin & Ric from Herington Painting. They were prompt, courteous, and in constant communication with me during the entire time they were on the job. They did a great job staining the exterior of our house and took special care to cover our deck, awning and landscaping to protect them from any paint drips. We are very happy with the quality of their work and would recommend them to anyone in need of painting services."

"New age painting did an excellent job in a small amount of time. We changed colors in our house from dark to light and had a lot of repairs to be done. Chaz was very efficient, courteous, and made sure everything was kept covered."

"I was very happy with the painting of my bedroom. She was on time (so many contractors are not), she was pleasant to deal with, very efficient, and left the area spotless. She finished the job ahead of schedule, which is always a plus. Will certainly spread the word about her and rehire in the future if needed. Thank you."

FAQs for painting projects in Rochester, NY

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.
