How much would a local painter charge to paint my whole apt?
Its less that 1000 sq ft. I want all my room painted in different colors. How much would a small local painter cost?
Is it hard to do the painting by yourself? If so how long to do 6 rooms.
I live in NJ, Hudson County!
more than it is worth

Honestly…you can get some pretty decent deals from painters in your area. Keep in mind that you will most likely have to pay for paint + supplies upfront. Then, labor can go as low as $250-400 per room painted. You just have to shop around a bit.

a painting ad may be misleading.
Painting is not the hard or time consuming part for it to be done right.
“Prepping and repairing before painting” sounds correct.
Will need spackling, caulk after old caulk is removed, spackling repairs usually three coats will work.
Sand blocks med/fine
Spackling absorbs paint more so more is needed over spackled areas and priming white works well when you take a 250 halogen light and shine on wall at angle, you will see all the flaws that need to be repaired before painting. If you dont care about the repairs and just want it painted, you can do it yourself. Just ask in the paint department of Lowes or homedepot to help you gather supplies and guide you in the right direction.
Also need wood filler for or putty any nail holes or pops after hammering in.
You dont need to pay someone advertizing for painting because the other work involved before painting is more important than painting. You can use the money to buy your materials, a how to paint book (free to read from library)

Yeah, you need to get local painting contractor to assess the cost of painting your apartment the way you want it, all done professionally and in timely manner without having to get you involved the dirty, painting-stroke-after-paint-stroke process that can become quite tiredsome. Seek free estimates from local painting contractors in your area.
Hmm, to help you out, for your convenience, here is a handyman site that I use often, which has a section dedicated to walls (and the painting of the sort), where you’ll find a text-link ad that offers up to four (4) Free Estimates from such local painting contractors in your area (scroll down a bit and it’s the text-link towards the middle of the page that says, “Find Local Painting Services. Get Up to 4 Quotes Now…Free”):
Guessing on here is not as productive as getting a quote upon which you can rely; this is especially true, as the cost of painting material and labor involved in painting greatly varies by location. Trust me, from general experience, you’ll be glad that you got concrete estimates.

American Clay’s High-Demand, Single-Coat Sustainable “Enjarre” Plaster Now in 100s of Colors
With the drywall market the most dominant in commercial construction, American Clay made this market its primary target with Enjarre and therefore, considered carefully the varying regional building habits/costs during their R&D phase to ensure their ability to compete. Typical wall finishes range from (a) gypsum plus paint on drywall with an average cost (product + labor) of $1.75/sq. ft. to (b) texture plus paint, average $.85/sq. ft., or (c) smooth wall plus paint, average $1.26/sq. ft. Enjarre sales are increasing monthly, largely due to the price competiveness to paint and gypsum plasters. These sales show the cost for product alone to be from $.45 to contractors and $.58 per sq. ft. to retail buyers. Sprayed or troweled-on projects of 20,000 square feet or more see application, including product, costs of $1-1.60/sq. ft.

How to Make $30 – $70 Per Hour Doing Small Simple Drywall & Plaster Repair Jobs

Painting Business – How to Make $30 – $70 Per Hour Doing Small Simple Drywall & Plaster Repair Jobs
Making $350 – $500 a day as a house painter is not as easy as some would have you believe in the residential/commercial realm – even if you are a larger contractor with a crew. But if you know a few drywall/plaster repair secrets, making this kind of money is very possible. I know. I have done it. Let me explain.
As a painting business owner over the years, I have found a niche in my business where people will have problems with their drywall or plaster and they are totally clueless on how to fix it themselves. Sure, you will come across those who tried, but the end results always turned out to be butt-ugly!
A lot of the drywall in homes built from the 1980?s and all the way up to today have issues. Things like water damage, loose tape seams, nail pops, etc. One common reason for water damage is because of a leaky upstairs shower.
Also, it is not uncommon for a new home to have a problem leak somewhere on the roof that is maybe letting water in. The water travels down the wall and wrecks part of the ceiling and wall in a lower room in a short period of time.
Maybe the customer wants to sell their house. They get the roof leak fixed and now this is where you and I come in. You have done some free advertising like word-of-mouth, you get referrals, you have a small ad in the phone book or from online advertising, etc. and you get a call.
Next you go over and look at the problem. In their front foyer you see a couple of minor tape seams that are loose and a small section of textured ceiling that needs to be fixed and re-duplicated using a common crows foot texture. The customer has touch up paint left over for it. They are motivated to get it fixed so they can sell the house and buy another one.
You eyeball it as about a days labor. You offer to repair it for say around $335.00. They say yes and you schedule it for the next day or whenever.
You come the first day for about an hour and tear out the bad, do a quick deep-fill and put a fan on it overnight to help it dry. Then you go back the next day and you spend 6 hours re-coating, and drying it with a heat gun or hairdryer etc. You do the job in 7 hours total and your net profit is $320 out of $335 because materials needed was basically just some drywall compound, gas to get back and forth and they had leftover paint.
Other scenarios may be older homes that have broken plaster. These can be surprisingly easy and fun to repair. Again, they call you, you go over and look at it. You count up the time (8 maybe 10 hrs. or so) and materials (usually dirt-cheap) and you give them a figure of $500 – $600 because of the size of the repair.
They give you the go ahead and you pencil them into your schedule. You finish the job in 9 hours and you make 95% profit. Other common plaster repairs may be large cracks in plaster ceilings. A common problem that can be easy to repair if you know how.
Other common drywall jobs may be texturing walls and ceilings. Two guys working together can make some good money at this. There are also small jobs hanging and finishing sheet rock in basements or garages. They may want you to paint it afterwards as well.
People do not know anything about drywall/plaster repair. They expect it to be somewhat costly. Jobs look more complicated than they are but since you know how to do them its duck soup for you!
You go in and spend 1-3 hours tearing out the old part like a surgeon, patching and doing a deep fill. You go back the next day for a few more hours, maybe back again a third day to finish, paint, etc. and get paid.
If you look in your phone book you will see small display ads under drywall or plaster repair that say “We Love Small Jobs” or “No Job Too Small”. Sure they like small jobs – this is where the easy money is. Small, 7 – 10 hour repair jobs that command $30 – $70 per hour.
If this type of business interests you, you can do it as a profitable sideline, or full-time business. You can have a buddy or your wife or one of your kids be your partner as well.
