We still needed to have repairs made to the interior of the house. Another representative from ONWAY came out to look at the damage in the bathroom and bedroom. He set up a time for a repair crew to complete the interior work. We had received our claim payment from the insurance company and ONEWAY had accepted the check. Our insurance coverage has a cash replacement clause which would send supplemental payment after giving an itemized list of materials and labor costs. ONEWAY was aware of this requirement when the repair crew came to complete the work in our bathroom and bedroom. When the crew came out they first worked on the bedroom. The list from our insurance company included replacing ceiling tiles and painting the ceiling and walls. The tiles were replaced that had fallen or were discolored except for one discolored tile. The crew then put on one coat of paint on the ceiling, but did not paint the walls. The discolored tile could still be seen after one coat. Then the crew went into the bathroom. The repair estimate included taking down a section of dry wall and replacing it, plus painting the ceiling and walls. The crew did not take down the damaged dry wall, but instead put up a coat of KILZ paint and left. They did not clean up the tub where they had stood with dirty shoes and did not ask us to check their work. They just left. While they were painting in the bathroom we heard them whispering quite a bit. After they left, I called the insurance adjuster and asked him what I should do because the repairs were not completed as per the estimate given. He said that the replacement cost check would not be given unless they gave an itemized list of what they ACTUALLY performed. He also said that he was in contact with ONEWAY and would attempt to resolve the situation. A few days later the second representative from ONEWAY called me. He wanted to know if we had received the supplemental check for the cash replacement costs. I told him what had happened when the repair crew came out and told him the insurance company needed a list of repairs actually completed. He stated that they had completed what was on the list! Then he asked me if I had any idea when we might receive the supplemental check. I repeated that ONEWAY needed to do all the repairs and give proof of completion to the insurance agent. Then a few days later a person from ONEWAY called and asked me if I had received a check from the insurance company. I repeated to her what I had been told by our insurance adjuster. That was the last I heard from them. Our bathroom ceiling still shows stains from the water damage and the bedroom ceiling over the one damaged ceiling tile is still obviously discolored. No one ever came out to correctly replace the ceiling drywall or paint the rooms as stated on the repair estimate. If we only had needed the roof done, I would have been quite happy with what ONEWAY accomplished. However, their poor repair of the interior rooms was incomplete at best and I'm very upset that a company which uses the Christian logo would treat customers the way we were. I would not recommend this company, especially if you are using an insurance claim to complete the work.

This included 14-foot cathedral ceilings and a tall staircase area. The edges of the walls and ceilings were skillfully done. All settling cracks in the walls were fixed and painted to match the adjoining wall areas.

Rich and his crew arrived at my home PROMPLY at 8:00 a.m. The entire crew was courteous and very friendly. It took almost two full days to get this job finished, and when they left, my home looked AMAZING! This was a very big job, and Rich came in with a crew of 7 people. I was very pleased with the quality of work. I will NEVER try to DIY paint myself again. I'm calling Tyler Painting!
When Rich left, he made sure to let me know if I noticed any areas that needed touching up he would come right out and do them. I have looked around several times and there are no touch up's needed. Also, when Rich left, he left me some paint for any touch up's I may need to do in the future.

"I ran into Rick one day at Home Depot and it was perfect timing. I had just purchased an historic home in Lebanon and the high ceilings were too much for me to take on. Rick came out, measured and got back to me quickly with an estimate. His "A Team" came out every day at 7:30am and finished every day at about 3:30pm and everything was neatly put away. I couldn't be more happy than the work they did. Every room was painted (ornate trim, doors and all) with perfection! Beautiful work on ceilings, walls, doors and trim!"

FAQs for interior painting projects in Columbia, IL
Price for each area (e.g., living room, master bedroom) or item (e.g., trim, doors)
Cost of labor
Cost of materials
Description of prep
Description of repairs to be made
Description and details of paint application (number of coats, brand and type of paint, etc.)
You may need to provide your own paint, depending on the agreement you make with the painter. Some painters prefer that you buy the paint and they supply the labor. However, some professional painters get a better price on paint and can pass that savings along to you even after accounting for labor costs.
The average cost to paint a ceiling ranges from $3 to $8.50 per square foot, which is about $1 to $2.50 more per square foot than the cost to paint the walls. Rooms with high ceilings require working from a ladder or scaffolding and often include trim or detail work, which adds to the final price.
Professional painters charge $20 to $50 per hour, on average. Hourly rate cost factors include the complexity of the paint job, the type of paint, the height of the walls and ceiling, and the type of prep and repairs needed. For example, removing wallpaper costs an additional $3 per square foot because it can be very time consuming and labor intensive. Your location will also impact the hour rate.
To estimate the cost to paint interior walls, multiply the square footage by the average price range to paint interior walls, which is $2 to $6 per square foot. For example, a 12-by-12-foot room with 8-foot tall walls is 384 square feet, meaning that the cost to paint the room will range from $768 to $2,304. Painting the ceiling and any trim will add to the overall cost, as will any repairs.
