We remain committed to providing you with the same high-quality service you have come to expect during these unprecedented times. We will be conducting consultations regarding estimates over email and phone in lieu of in-person appointments until the stay at home order is lifted.

NO TRAVEL CHARGE. NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR AFTER HOURS SERVICE. ASK ABOUT ANGIES LIST DISCOUNT. THREE ROOM INTERIOR MINIMUM AND $1,500 MINIMUM FOR EXTERIOR.
"We hired Dynamic Colors to paint a bedroom (including closet), full bath, and powder room in our house. We had removed an old wall mounted sink from the powder room and replaced plumbing prior to painting, so the walls and ceiling were in need of extensive patching. The bedroom plaster ceiling was cracked and uneven and also in need of repair. Of the three companies we called for estimates, Anthony of DC spent the most time with us to understand and assess the work. Although his quote was not the least expensive of the three, we chose DC because we were most confident in them to take the time to perform the prep work correctly. Anthony arrived with the crew on day one to go over the work with his painters and us together. He visited throughout the job to ensure the work was being done correctly and address any of our concerns. When he was not present on site, he was always readily available by phone/text. All three painters in the crew were very capable, polite, and careful in our home to protect areas around where they were working. Anthony inspected the job toward the end and pointed out areas that his crew needed touch up before finishing (items I would probably never have noticed with my own eye). We were very happy with the finished work and the level of service Anthony and his crew provided. I would not hesitate to hire them again."

"After receiving a free quote, Sergio and his crew of 5 men just finished painting my 3-story Victorian house (with wood panelling) with 6 different colors. They first removed and replaced any rotting wood with superb carpentry work. They were meticulous in their detailed painting given the lattice, gingerbread trim, balconies, and porches with banisters and detail spindle designs around my house. They always communicated their schedule, arriving on time, and were unobtrusive, professional, respectful, and courteous. They made plans for which exits we could use to stage wet paint. While efficient with their time, they completed the job quickly. They addressed all my questions and cleaned up after they finished the job. I highly recommend their services--our house looks like a work of art and it is the envy of the street. In fact, people who walk by regularly take photos!"

Wood stripping services FAQs
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.
Generally, general contractors charge between $50 and $150 hourly, though not every contractor charges by the hour. If charging based on the project, you can expect a markup of 10% to 20% of the construction cost. You can expect to pay between $300 and $500 daily if charged by the day.
While city and state laws vary on general contractor licensing requirements, hiring an unlicensed general contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines for your area.

Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

The cost to refinish a table is about $250, depending on the size, type of finish, and amount of detail involved in the table and the new finish. The lowest price to refinish a table is about $80, and the highest is about $700. Additional tasks like dipping, stripping, staining, and painting will add to the total project cost. Here are average costs to refinish a table by type:
Side or end table: $80–$150
Coffee table: $150–$250
Dining room table: $400–$700
The cost to paint the exterior of a house ranges from $1,900 to $4,500 or about $1.50 to $4 per square foot, depending on the size, height, and complexity of the home layout. Other cost factors include your location, the type of siding (e.g., wood, aluminum, brick, stucco, etc.), and the kind of paint (e.g. oil-based, latex, acrylic, etc.). Painting the trim a different color or painting intricately designed trim can also increase the cost.
