I have been in the construction field for over 4 years now. Specializing in floor installation, painting, renovating bathroom/kitchen, roof and decking. I was a police officer for over 13 years in Florida but have decided to follow my skills and interests in construction since we have relocated to this wonderful area.

"Fantastic. On time, got it done right. Would recommend"

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

The average labor cost for painting in the U.S. is $2 to $6 per square foot. Research what similar pros in your area charge to get a good idea of the normal labor costs for your region. Don’t forget to add charges for materials, complicated work, and project minimums to cover your overhead, if you’re doing a smaller project. 

When comparing limewash versus paint, the cost to limewash interior walls is greater, especially when hiring a pro. That’s because limewashing is more labor-intensive and takes more time to complete. While limewashing costs between $1.50 and $6 per square foot, a standard paint job will cost between $1.50 and $4 per square foot.

For information on how long it will take for paint to dry on a metal roof, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions. Typically it will take a few hours to dry but may need to be left for up to 24 hours to cure fully—but up to 10 days is better yet.

Paint your accent wall last after painting the other walls in the room. This will prevent color bleed and splatter from the adjacent walls. Be sure to give your other walls plenty of time to fully dry and cure before painting your accent wall—you don’t want the tape to pull off fresh paint when you remove it.

There is no one correct order for painting a room, as it largely depends on personal preference and skill level. However, for non-professional painters, we recommend the following order: ceiling, walls, doors, windows, trim. This is because painting trim, windows, and doors can be more time-consuming and meticulous, and it's best to save them for last when you’ve already gained some confidence from painting the larger surfaces.
