"Perez Painting was contracted to resurface and paint our patio structure and wooden features on the front of the house. All interactions went very smooth - from defining and quoting the project, down to timely execution of the 2 day project. As well, they went over and above the contact to paint other small areas that were not included in the original quote. They wanted everything to match. Their team worked very efficiency to get the project done on time. We have more painting projects in the schedule. Perez Painting will be the only call I will make. My wife and I were very happy with the results."

"The large paint crew came early and finished my one story house by 4pm. They painted the stucco, trim, siding and gates. The work was neat and professional, and the crew polite and cooperative. Jame's price was excellent and lower than the other two estimates I obtained. My house looks wonderful!!"

"It was fabulous dealing with Wilson at Professional Painting. It’s nice to have someone come in, immediately get to work, and finish leaving the room clean, all the while doing a tremendous job with the painting. Hassle-free from the booking all the way to completion of the job!"

"Gustavo knows how to stain wood to perfection, and he s a very precise painter. He stained our 10x10, second story deck and a wood gate. I was worried stain might get splashed on the house, window, etc., but he taped, used drop cloths, and painted very neatly. He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. He took a day to clean and prep the deck, then waited a day to let it dry. Then he did the staining in one day. He arrived when he said he would, cleaned up the site afterward, and was very courteous. It was a pleasure to deal with such a professional. We will keep him in mind for any future painting/staining projects."

"We recently had our home fully painted by A Keith, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! Our house, built in the 1950s, hadn’t been painted in many years and was in desperate need of care—it was faded, cracked, peeling, and just looked tired. Richie gave us a very fair quote, and in just 6 days, he and his team completely transformed our home. The house now looks fantastic. Richie was professional, responsive, and truly cared about making sure we were satisfied. He checked in multiple times during the project, did walk-throughs, and made sure any little details we noticed were addressed right away. His crew worked quickly but with great attention to detail. We’re so impressed with both the quality of work and the customer service. I would highly recommend A Keith to anyone looking for painting services—you won’t be disappointed!"

FAQs for painting projects in Cerritos, CA

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.
