"Had sales consultant Ken Lane, who gave me the best sales pitch…after which everything took a downward turn. Could not get a hold of the person to pick out colors, which was eventually on the books Saturday before the job was scheduled. Did I mention when I had taken time off from work and had other things going on so this was time sensitive? I didn’t find out till the day of the project, that it was not scheduled. Called the office, turns out the job/contract was not written out correctly after I explained very painstakingly everything that needed to be done. Magically they had already bought the paint but there was nothing they could do to get the job done as scheduled, I’d have to wait. This was after being reassured by Ken that everything was good to go. Oh, and it was an extra $1000 to get everything that I needed done right. Not to mention the rescheduling meant that I had to get someone else to come out when the painters did eventually show up. The paint crew were unsure of what needed to be done day of because, again details had been left out. Thank goodness my friend spoke Spanish and could explain. Two stars because of the kindness and courtesy of the project manager Kevin Pagano, who came out on a day off to touch up and clean up. I have other paint projects that I need done, but I won’t be using Showstoppers because again!"

"Ben provided high quality service for a fair price. The interior painting was fantastic and he went the extra mile for trim and door finishing. For pressure washing, Ben was able to clean out the gutters and make the exterior spotless afterwards. Ben was also able to repair our back door trim and repaint it on a short notice.

FAQs for painting projects in Chesapeake, VA

You should paint your home exterior every five to 10 years, on average. Climate and surroundings can affect how well paint holds up. Wood siding will likely need a fresh coat of paint every three to seven years. Paint on brick tends to last about eight to 17 years, on average.

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.

To calculate the square footage of a home exterior, painters multiply the length of the wall by the height of the wall to be painted. Then they add the total square footage for all of the walls to be painted. To calculate the price, they multiply the total square footage by their cost per square foot to prep and paint. Additional costs may factor in such as repairs, additional trim, and walls higher than the first story.

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.
