"When Dominik came to give us an estimate, I specifically said that we had many cracks in our walls and ceilings and these areas needed to be patched and that good prep work was very important to us. He reassured me he would fix everything and said it would be an “easy 2-day job.” However, it was a 5-day nightmare. The painters missed fixing several cracks. They also forgot to paint a large portion of one of the walls and a portion of the ceiling. Some patch spots were left completely unsanded and some patches were left unpainted. These were large obvious spots they should have seen, not small inconspicuous places. When I talked with the owner about their work, at first he implied that I was being too picky and that I didn't specify exactly which cracks I wanted repaired. (Even though I was clear all cracks needed to be repaired at the time of the estimate.) But when he returned to see what the painters missed, he then complained to me about his employees that they should have done a better job. He also asked me to mark the spots that I wanted repaired. I would think professional painters would see large cracks without having to be shown each one of them personally (see photos). The employees complained to me about their boss while at my home, which I found to be very unprofessional. I was told by one of the employees that they do not use work lamps in the room while they are painting because then the homeowner sees the flaws and that was why the job was not that good – because our room was too dark. We had to repaint several spots ourselves after they left and actually did better than the "pros." The large cracks still remain on our walls. They didn’t bring enough paint and so had to get more, and this extra gallon didn’t match the first gallon of paint on the walls. I would not use them ever again or recommend them to anyone."

Wood stripping services FAQs
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.
Generally, general contractors charge between $50 and $150 hourly, though not every contractor charges by the hour. If charging based on the project, you can expect a markup of 10% to 20% of the construction cost. You can expect to pay between $300 and $500 daily if charged by the day.
While city and state laws vary on general contractor licensing requirements, hiring an unlicensed general contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines for your area.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to refinish a table is about $250, depending on the size, type of finish, and amount of detail involved in the table and the new finish. The lowest price to refinish a table is about $80, and the highest is about $700. Additional tasks like dipping, stripping, staining, and painting will add to the total project cost. Here are average costs to refinish a table by type:
Side or end table: $80–$150
Coffee table: $150–$250
Dining room table: $400–$700
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.
