Professional Painting Prices?

Roughly how much do professional painters on the northside of chicago charge per square foot? I have two bedrooms that will need painting in a month 13x10 and 15x10 (approx 9' ceilings). The bedrooms will be empty, they have no crown molding, but do have base molding. Painting will be walls only (no ceilings or molding). Thanks.Professional Painting Prices?
In Ohio that would cost around 500-800 total dollars easy. It really depends on the painter and whether they put 2 coats on there. I don't know how much it will cost in Chicago. I would pick three contractors to bid on the job so you know you aren't getting ripped off. Good luck!Professional Painting Prices?
That's an easy enough job to do yourself. Use wide blue painters tape on the base, and ceiling and window areas and paint reasonably carefully. I always us a pole attachment on a roller because it's easier to do with 2 hands and you can reach further up the wall. It would take you a couple of days per room and save yourself hundreds of dollars.
Ask at Home Depot or Lowe's. They may be able to give you an estimate. Or ask among your friends. Someone may have had painting done recently. In fact, it is always safe to hire someone who has a good reputation. You can also do it yourself. I am an eternal painter. Since my labor comes ';cheap'; I can afford to paint often.
