Independent painting is a dream brought to life. Years of building experience to finally be able to show the world what I have to offer. My experience is not limited. I am always open to learning more as I grow my business and I always do my best to keep morale up to maintain a work environment that anyone could appreciate. One unique thing that sets me apart from the rest is my mix of height and coordination allows for me to go above and beyond to get to the hard to reach spots in a safe manner. My work includes both interior and exteriors, caulking, texturing, window glazing, cutting/rolling walls, spraying ceilings, painting/staining trim, cabinets, and doors, as well as any furniture, decor, etc. I find most painting work to be very gratifying to get to do and I'm also not afraid of a good challenge and the sense of accomplishment that goes with getting the job done, no matter the difficulty level of the task at hand.

"I recently had Austin paint my great room, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Not only did he do an incredible job, but he was also extremely friendly, professional, and organized throughout the entire process. He kept everything clean and made sure every detail was just right. One of the things I appreciated most was his helpfulness in recommending colors—his insight made such a difference, and I absolutely love how everything turned out. If you're looking for a skilled and dependable painter, I highly recommend Austin. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him for my next painting project!"

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

If you have a can or two of paint that's past its prime, replacing it shouldn't be too expensive. A gallon of paint costs an average of $25. You may pay more if you want a superior quality paint or if you choose oil-based paint instead of latex or acrylic. 

Buying in bulk can help you save, provided you use all the paint you purchase. For example, a 5-gallon bucket of paint tends to cost less per gallon than a pint or quart-sized can.

If you’ve already installed your carpet and your baseboards need a fresh coat, painter’s tape can help ensure the paint stays on the wall and off the flooring. Be sure to add a margin of 2 to 3 inches of tape along the carpet to give yourself extra space for any unexpected spills or drips. You should also lay down a plastic tarp and secure it as close to the wall as possible with painter’s tape.

Satin paint applied to walls is best done with a roller to get a smooth, even surface. Rollers are designed to apply paint evenly and efficiently. Using a roller will save you some time because it’s about twice as fast as brushing on your paint. For trim like door frames and window frames, use a brush to apply satin paint to ensure you get into all the nooks and crannies.

The two most common paint types are latex-based paint and oil-based paint. Here are some of the most significant differences between the two:

Latex-based paint:

  • $15–$60 per gallon on average

  • Best for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways

  • Dries more quickly than oil-based paints

  • More difficult to clean compared to oil-based paint

Oil-based paint

  • $20–$70 per gallon on average

  • Good for bathrooms, kitchens, doors, and trim

  • Easy to clean and holds up well against moisture

  • More likely to chip than latex-based paint

  • Requires good ventilation while drying

Yes, you can paint most wall panels. In fact, many wall panels come unfinished, meaning you can stain or paint them in any color you choose. Unfinished wall panels are usually less expensive than finished panels, although you should consider the time it will take you to finish them yourself when deciding if the monetary savings are worth it. You can save some money on the labor of finishing your panels if you go the DIY route, though.

If your wall panel already has a stain or paint color on it, you can often paint over it as well. You'll just want to make sure you properly treat the area before painting.
