Casey Black Painting specializes in interior painting, light carpentry, drywall work, and deck maintenance for the Chicagoland area and most of the surrounding suburbs. We have exacting standards and an attention to detail that comes with over 40 years of painting experience. We are clean, punctual, and very trustworthy. We are fully insured and offer free estimates. We have an extensive reference list that is available upon request.

"I hired Casey and his team to paint my entire condo, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Their professionalism, communication, and attention to detail were outstanding from start to finish. I had my colors picked, but Casey helped refine finishes and suggested ways to simplify color use across rooms. He came out for a free quote within a few days, provided insurance info, and came back later to paint samples on the walls so I could feel confident in my choices. I wasn’t living there yet and chose not to be there so I could be surprised, but Casey sent daily updates. They finished exactly on time, stayed within budget, and even swapped out outlet covers for me. The quality was amazing! Clean lines, smooth finishes, and not a drip anywhere. They actually left the place cleaner than they found it. Casey even matched caulk to different tile and fixed a ton of imperfections in the walls and crown molding. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for great painters."

"Contacted them to by phone on 7/16/21 at about 9:30 am was told the estimators were busy but was asked to send an email of photo's I had of the problem as well as my contact info and estimator would be in touch. I sent email and received a reply from Billing Mgr at 10:02 am. That is the last I heard from them. Ended up getting work done by another company that actually replied back to me (that same day). With all of the other glowing reviews of this company on Angles list, I'm surprised."

FAQs for interior painting projects in Evanston, IL

When you’re considering hiring a painter, a quote should include the following items:

  • Overall price

  • 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.
