What should a painting quote include?

<div><p>When you’re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-things-consider-when-hiring-interior-painter.htm">considering hiring a painter</a>, a quote should include the following items:</p><ul><li><p>Overall price</p></li><li><p>Price for each area (e.g., living room, master bedroom) or item (e.g., trim, doors)</p></li><li><p>Cost of labor</p></li><li><p>Cost of materials</p></li><li><p>Description of prep</p></li><li><p>Description of repairs to be made</p></li><li><p>Description and details of paint application (number of coats, brand and type of paint, etc.)</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Do I need to provide my own paint?

<div><p>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.</p></div>

What is the average cost to paint a ceiling?

<div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/paint-ceiling-cost.htm">cost to paint a ceiling</a> ranges from <b>$3 to $8.50 per square foot</b>, 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. </p></div>

How much do painters charge per hour?

<div><p>Professional painters charge <b>$20 to $50 per hour</b>, 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, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-remove-wallpaper.htm">removing wallpaper costs</a> an additional $3 per square foot because it can be very time consuming and labor intensive. Your location will also impact the hour rate.</p></div>

How do you estimate the cost of painting interior walls?

<div><p>To estimate the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-paint-room.htm">cost to paint interior walls</a>, 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.</p></div>

We specialize in full exterior paint jobs ONLY. Because we have chosen to focus on being the best at full exteriors, we really aren't geared up to do small jobs like trim only, just doors or a fence for example. We can do these as part of a larger job. See our website at osheaspainting.com for tips when getting bids Zero money down on most jobs. 35 years of painting experience and over 3,000 local homes painted. Call today and find out why 80% of customers I provide estimates to, go with us. I use my engineering background to provide both an analytical approach for generating your estimate and deciding on the appropriate materials for your job. I'll take time to walk around your house with you and explain what you need and why. I will also explain what to look for when comparing bids so you can make an educated decision on which painter is right for you. I offer a real 2 coat paint job using quality paints, which results in houses that still look good a decade later. I also provide several other options to give a variety of price points. My estimates are detailed, not just "paint house" Payment due upon substantial completion. I’m sorry we do not do interiors or service gig harbor, lake bay, fox island and other areas across the bridge.

"I received estimates from three companies and decided on O’Shea Painting because of the competitive price and positive impression during the estimate visit. The work was done in a very timely manner and we are very happy with the quality of the work. I’ve already recommended O’Shea to a friend who is looking for a painting contractor. I would most definitely recommend them and would use them again if the need arises."

We are a local company that provides residential and commercial exterior and interior painting services. We have professional teams and utilize quality paint products from Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore & Behr. We are part of the Neighborly Group Franchise family that includes Mr. Handyman, Molly Maids, Glass Doctor, Rainbow Restoration, Mr. Electric, the Grounds Guys, Mr. Appliance, Mr. Rooter, and Aire Serv.

"Five Star Painting painted our house last summer (2017). They did a truly excellent job. They responded quickly to calls/emails, showed up when they said they would and listened to everything we said (big plus). The project manager, Pat, showed up every day, sometimes twice a day, to check on progress. He had the crew repaint the garage door three times, I remember, because bubbles kept popping up (due to previous painters’s shoddy work). They cleaned up after themselves and were careful around my exterior plants. Here it is more than half a year later, and I’m still admiring the precise and beautiful job they did."

Then we brought them back to paint the exterior of our home plus installing natural wood soffit above our front door with canned ceiling lights and new lamps on the front of the house. They sanded down any rough spots in our existing siding, replaced the siding on our chimney to make it new again, added trim/siding to cover up exposed concrete foundation, added a natural wood accent to our balcony, and did it all for an incredible price. They were always punctual, professional, and flexible with our ever-changing plans. Truly outstanding work - these guys are at the top of their industry for quality, value, and professionalism.
