"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!"

FAQs for interior painting projects in Virginia Beach, VA

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.
