"I hired Julius and his team for a concrete floor coating project, and they did an amazing job from start to finish. They were professional, timely, and paid close attention to detail. The floor came out amazing - smooth, clean, and exactly what I had envisioned. I’m extremely happy with their work and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship."

"I got several estimates, and the professionalism and price varied wildly! One contractor walked around looking at the place, and left....no measuring, no discussion about paint whatsoever, so I wondered what paint would be used, how long it might take, etc. The second contractor walked around with a measuring device and told me that he would get the paint...no mention of anything else. The next contractor sent a very detailed estimate that was over $5,000 for the 1,350 sq. ft. unit. There were eight rooms to paint, and this contractor charged extra for every color change over three, and around $75 for each change, which helped bring it up to that cost. When the estimates came in, one was so under-detailed, that it mostly said, 'Paint condo; 8 rooms'. Again, no mention of the paint, or it's quality, etc. That brings us to Fresh Coat. The estimator came out on time and ready to get to work. She measured all the rooms, and offered a service from Sherwin-Williams to help choose colors, but I had already chosen my colors and didn't need that. We went over all the color choices that I had made, and she recorded each room with the chosen color. She went over the paint choices and I chose the one that best suited my needs. Next, we chose a tentative date. When I got the estimate it was fair and accurate, and I chose Fresh Coat to do the work for me. Their schedule improved, and I met the paint crew two days earlier that originally scheduled, and that was good for me. The painters were on-time and dug right in removing lots of nails, drapery hardware and anything on the walls. They patched a few holes and some tears in the paper of the dry wall. The kitchen was a very dark red color. The previous painters had hit the ceiling with the dark color several times, and before the Fresh Coat painters started with the new very light color, they went around the entire room and painted the edges white to match the ceiling. After two heavy coats of the new color on the walls, we could still see a glimpse of that really dark color, so they did a third coat, and that did the trick. They finished the whole place in less than four days and did an outstanding job! I am very happy with the quality of the work, and the price, and would recommend them even to the pickiest people I know, and they would not be disappointed."

"RacPro responded quickly and sent a written quote which we accepted. We did have to wait for 4 weeks but Victor was very responsive to texts. He arrived early on the scheduled day, completed painting the fence and cleaned up the yard as expected. Victor is very professional and had pride in his work, we would use him again as the fence looks great."

FAQs for painting projects in Sumter, SC

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.
