"Spent way more time painting my house than any previous painters, very thorough and the 4 guys were great. Didn't realize how badly my house needed to be painted until they did the prep work. They spent more time on the prep than actual painting which if you are doing the job right is the way it should be."

Queen City Painting and Decorating LLC was started as an entrepreneurial effort by two friends as a way to pay their way through college. With 15 years combined experience in the painting industry, both Will Patrick and David Purtell recognized some of the downfalls in the way contract work is done today. With a dedication to communication and hard work, Will and Dave plan to change the way painting is done in the Cincinnati area forever!

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

Most spray paint is fully dry after 24 hours, but knowing when the spray paint is dry depends on the type of dry paint criteria. Surface dry is a surface that’s dry enough for you to apply another coat of paint. Touch dryness is a little dryer than surface dryness and will feel dry if you gently touch it, but it’s really wet underneath the initial touch. Hard dry feels fully dry but can dent or smudge upon extra pressure. Thoroughly dry paint is completely dry. 

Yes, but professional services ensure secure installation, accurate leveling, and protection against wall damage, especially for heavy or valuable items.

No, you don’t need to apply paint primer to your wall before hanging paintable wallpaper. Manufacturers design paintable wallpaper so that the paint will adhere effectively, so primer isn’t necessary. Plus, even if you opt for a light shade of paint, you won’t have to worry about the shade underneath showing through because you are painting on a light, white surface.

The best time to tip a painter is after the job is complete. Alternatively, you can buy the painters lunch or coffee during the job.

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.
