Painter recommendations

I feel like I've asked this before, but I think we're really, really ready to paint this time!  Any suggestions, other than Gerst?  Also, what's a good way to determine if it's a good deal?  I've heard arguments for and against hourly painters.  We just have white walls in our (2 y/o) new construction home. 

(We have nothing against Gerst, just that I already know they are the "Cadillac" of painters and we're more of a Honda household!)

Re: Painter recommendations

  • My dad does interior painting.  His business is In Faux Motion, his name is Paul Luxon and his number is 402-572-7823.  He can get booked up a few months in advance, but it just depends on the job.
  • Hawkeyebride recommended Mike Tagel to me, and I cannot say enough good things about him and his crew.  I got estimates from probably 10 different painters.  Mike was the most reasonable by several hundred dollars, and they did an amazing job.  I had a pretty small time-frame for when I wanted the painting done (we closed on our new construction on a Wednesday and wanted to move in on Saturday, with the painting completed).  They completed the project of painting 2500 square feet in less than that amount of time.  Mike's phone number is 402-676-7566.

    Mike is fabulous!!

  • I hired a guy named Josh who came with another guy after work. The did FABULOUS! They were quick, clean, and decent guys to chat with (since we were usually in the area eating, etc). His number is 402-215-6768. Tell him I sent you. I got his number from my neighbor behind me who is a friend of his.

    I got a quote from a pro painter that was about 900 which included putting a second coat on one wall, and 2 coats on another (I had done it myself a while back and never finished the second coat on one of the walls). When Josh came to quote me, he quoted me $250 for 2 coats on ALL 4 walls (i decided if I was hiring a painter I might as well change all the wall colors). This also included painting the hallway which the other guy didn't even include in the quote! (FYI it was $220 for the room with vaulted ceilings and ONLY $30 for the hallway which was WAY worth paying so I didn't have to trim around 5 doors!).
