"They didn't really pay attention to detail. They slept paint on outlets door knobs window sills that another company had to clean or clear the paint so that I could open the windows lock doors and to use the outlets. They also recommended me to purchase an enormous amount of paint that I never used."

"New Era Pro Painting was a great service provider. They arrived on time and cleaned up each day. They did a comprehensive prep, paint, clean up, walk thru and gave additional recommendations for future projects. I will use them again and recommend them to others in the family."

"Dave provided excellent service: detailed, prompt, thorough. A quality job, including a bit of painting around garage doors. Dave's son (also David) had a very professional eye for color matching. We will be having Dave Docherty back for a larger painting project. Highly recommend."

"When I initially found jose it was just to power wash my back deck, he came the next day and I decided to get the deck redone, stain and paint. He did just that and he replaced my back door! He is extremely reliable, professional, and affordable. Some things I wanted to replace but he gives advice to save you money. He doesn't try to rip you off like some contractors out here and I trust him. So much that he is back 2 months later currently giving my kitchen and bathroom a face-lift. He is always on time and stays to his time frame. He works hard and he goes throughout the weekend and holidays to complete the job. I would def recommend him and JC. He will be contractor for all my needs. I'll be back to talk about my kitchen and bathroom when I finished. Next will be my basement!"

"A Step above Painting and Drywall are "exceptional". I need new flooring all on the 1st floor as well as needed the entire house (Interior) to be painted. Andres and his team did an outstanding job on my floors and painting. Tony (Mgr) is awesome - busy - but he does follow up, great person and team. I would HIGHLY recommend this company for your projects."

FAQs for painting projects in New Castle, DE

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.
