"Greg and his partner Dan were excellent painters. They showed up on time and thoroughly cleaned up after the job was complete. Throughout the process, Greg was extremely attentive and meticulously detail oriented. He was also able to repair some plaster spots and a broken trim piece as well. Overall, Greg and Dan completed the best painting work I've ever had done at a very competitive price. I would 100% recommend Sefner painting and will absolutely hire them again for future projects!"

"Our project involved removing wallpaper, that was painted over, painting trims, patching and covering some small tracks. We interviewed 4 companies and at the end we chose Dr Paint. They were professionals. Every day they would clean up, remove the trash. They worked on Saturday's so they can finish the job on a deadline we requested. And they did. The house looks great as a result of their work. I would recommend them to my family and friends. Great price and great job, we are very happy."

"Awesome experience; Jose was very responsive and showed us a lot of paint samples until we got exactly what we wanted. Showed up on time and finished early. His crew was hard working and very careful of not damaging anything. Cleaned up everything too. Will definitely use them again."

"First used Touchstone to paint interior. Loved their work. Then had them back for bathroom remodel. Which included new counters, sink, faucet, painting cabinets. Loved their attention to detail. Start & completion of projects was as stated. Wonderful work."

"Oscar was very quick to respond to my initial inquiry email after I was provided him as an option from Home Advisor. He answered all of my questions and provided me a fair quote very quickly. I went with him based on other reviews on Home Advisor as well as him prompt communication. He did three entire rooms and a couple additional doors and trims for my project. The work done by his painter exceeded my expectations especially since one of the rooms required quite a bit of attention. They made sure to verify that everything met my satisfaction prior to closing out the job. And the minor things I did find, they fixed right away. I will definitely use Magic Color Painting again for any of my future painting needs."

"I used Professional Painter for the second time. I hired them in March of 2024 as I stated in the review I posted at the time. Krystian is my painter for life. He arrived everyday on time. Almost every room in my house needed paint refreshing including base boards. After moving in we were left with wall dents and cracks. Krystian never fails he takes pride in his work and my house looks brand new. He loves painting I can tell. He checks each room one by one inspecting the finished product. His rates are very fair. He goes that extra step each time. No mess after he has completed the job. He is very clean and professional. I would use Krystian again in a heart beat. He has never failed to give his best. He is my family painter for life. Try him for yourself, you won't be disappointed."

Yolis painting services did excellent job on the same day we got estimate and work was done with the highest quality. We hired them for our second home too. Next we will hire them to paint our entire home. I would definitely recommend Yolis painting services."

FAQs for painting projects in Vernon Hills, IL

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.
