Rollers are made from fuzzy material that puts more than paint on your walls. It is important that you remove any debris, such as loose fibers, from the roller.
If you want custom painting services, you can expect to pay a bit extra than a normal paint job. For example, by using a trompe l’oeil technique, a trick of the eye, custom painters and muralists transform small, dark, boring, or otherwise challenging interior spaces with creative paint applications. Transforming a blank wall into a 3D vision requires talent and years of experience, which is why this type of paint job is more expensive.

Satin paint has a nice sheen and is ideal for exterior trim areas that are used or touched often. This highly durable, stretchy paint resists peeling and mildew. A satin paint finish is perfect for use on a variety of trim areas such as eaves, soffits, overhangs, trim boards, porch ceilings/trim, door frames, window sills, and so much more. It’s important to note that satin paint magnifies imperfections like dents, dings, cratering, and ridges in older wood trim and wood siding.

If you are only painting the walls throughout your home, you can expect to pay $1.50 to $3.50 per sq.ft. However, the average painter cost per sq.ft. will be $3 to $4 if you also paint baseboards, trim, and other details. The painting rate per sq.ft. for exterior projects specifically ranges from $1.50 to $4 due to the difficulty with properly painting siding, so it stays in top shape in the face of the elements. If your painting contractor is working on your home’s exterior or a single room in your home, they will most likely charge by the sq.ft. for labor and materials because this is one of the most accurate ways to measure how much work is being done.
