"Kolors by Kara are the best painters I've ever used. Found them thru friends that raved about them. Since then I have referred them to many friends and they never dissapoint. They painted my entire home. The trim work and cabinet painting were perfect. They are very particular. Patching and painting my walls--they are flawless. They are prompt and professional. I will use them again and continue to refer. They are the bomb"

"It went well. A large painting crew showed up the first day to prep and paint the first coat. They did a great job. A few touch ups were needed and they came right back the next day to make sure we were 100% satisfied with the job. Great crew! Great work!"

"Santos, Kevin and the entire J & S team completed my project in one day and it looks amazing! My daughter purchased her first home (a one bedroom, one bath condo) and it desperately needed a facelift. J &S definitely took care of that for us. They painted her living/dining room; bedroom; bathroom; and kitchen (including ceilings and trim) in one day! They are truly amazing! If I ever need anything painted, I will contact them in a heartbeat. I will also recommend them to all of my family and friends who may need any kind of painting needs. If you have a project that needs painting, don’t hesitate to call J & S Painting. They are professional, kind, and prompt. They’re great!!!"

"Sawyer was hired to paint my entire basement consisting of 2 large rooms and a closet. He gave me an estimate the very next day, on a Friday, I called on Saturday to accept it and we were scheduled for Wednesday @ 9:00, They arrived at 9:00 and started painting. They primed the new drywall and painted the entire basement. There was no mess and everything was cleaned up when they finished. It was an excellent job, and Sawyer and crew were very friendly and polite. There is no doubt in my mind that my next painting job will be with Barlow Painters. I highly recommend them for any painting job that you may have!"

FAQs for painting projects in Shelbyville, KY

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.
