How much does it cost to paint a house?

Answer 1

About $14 an hour or so. Here's more broad information, FYI: In 2002, median hourly earnings of painters, construction and maintenance, were $13.98. The middle 50 percent earned between $11.08 and $18.00. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $9.10, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $23.90. Median hourly earnings in the industries employing the largest numbers of painters in 2002 are shown below:

• Local government $17.46
• Residential building construction 14.01
• Building finishing contractors 14.00
• Lessors of real estate 11.62
• Employment services 10.21

In 2002, median earnings for paperhangers were $15.22. The middle 50 percent earned between $11.52 and $20.38. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $9.04, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $25.64. Earnings for painters may be reduced on occasion because of bad weather and the short-term nature of many construction jobs. Hourly wage rates for apprentices usually start at 40 to 50 percent of the rate for experienced workers and increase periodically. Some painters and paperhangers are members of the International Brotherhood of Painters and Allied Trades. Some maintenance painters are members of other unions. (The info above is from the U.S. Department of Labor.) Answer As with any self-employed person, the amount you earn is dependent on how much you work. Present a proposal to the prospective employer, absolutely show up on time and on the days promised and do a good job. If you use a good quality paint, do not thin it down or take the extra home. You will build your business by word of mouth since there are a lot of competitors who do not pay attention to the small stuff like that.

Answer 2

That will depend. Are you painting the interior, exterior, or both? Are you doing it yourself or hiring a professional? Where in the country are you? How big is your house?

Answer

Where are you located? If you're in or around Chicago, and you're looking to hire a painter...look into DreamWorks Painting and Design....www.dreamworkspainting.com...They do a great job, are super easy to work with, and usually have great deals going on....and their prices include paint and materials already, which is really cool. Hope this helps! :)

Answer 3

You mean an artist? Or a house-painter? If you mean an artist, it could be millions, or you could be on food stamps forever. If you mean a house-painter, I can tell you from bitter personal experience that you can expect to make between 8 and 13 bucks an hour depending on your ability and experience; more if you can somehow get a Union job, and a bit more as a crew chief. But you can forget about ever appearing on Cribs.

Answer 5

it depends on the environment you live in and what art the people around you love and will buy so the average artist would make up to 40,000,000 a year if they are really out there with there art

Answer 6

It depends on the painter and if they are self employed.

If they are working for themselves, licensed and insured and paying all the fees that are required and are good businessmen, they wouldn't work for less than $40 per hour. If all they want is their next can of beer, then they will work much cheaper. As low as three or four dollars an hour. Because they don't value their time. And they get jobs from cheapskates who hold them to their ridiculously low bids.

If they are working for a painting company, then it depends on their experience and skills and if they can run a crew; anywhere from 12 to 20 per hour is the norm.

This answer is based on the central Florida area.
