how much do painting contractors charge in your area?

Answer 1

i charge 30 an hour or $250 a day, and a flat rate of 30 dollars per gallon. i bid my jobs out at how much time it will take me to complete a job in full or half days. a typical bedroom, although it would only take me a few hours, i will charge 230 dollars minimum. depending on the paint they use, it usually costs me 20-25 for sherwin williams or hirschfields and the money i make off of each gallon will normally cover the cost of my other supplies. ive seen it as high as 100 an hour for someone who only doesd faux finishes (which i also do) but i just bid the job out at more time, not up the price to 100 dollars an hour and more hours. i live/work in minnesota. if you have the money to spend on painting i recommend finding a good painter because they will always do a better job than the homeowner. make sure the painter inspects every square inch of the walls for repairs and every linear foot of trimwork to make sure there is no paint on woodwork. two coats is always best, and if painting with reds 3 coats or 1 coat gray primer and two coats paint.
