A typical painting contractor or painting company will charge $50 per hour on the low end and up to $100 per hour on the high end for each member of their team.
As for actually using the sprayer, the main thing to remember is to not overcoat with paint. Two or three quick passes will minimize drippage as opposed to trying to get a full coat on all at once. (Which I learned the hard way. The first room I painted was so drippy droppy, we had to do some extra sanding once it dried. I felt so bad!) Only by actually using the sprayer will you get a method down. By the time I was done with the sprayer, I felt like a pro and actually had fun painting!

You’ll save time and money if you detect and remove lead paint before painting over it, so you may want to have a lead paint inspection for about $300 on average before hiring someone to paint your walls.
Next, find the square footage of the surface to be painted by first measuring each wall in a room across. Now you can multiply the length of the surface by the height of the wall.
When it comes to removing lead from your home, it’s important to have a professional on your side. While it is possible to paint over lead paint, it has to be done in a specific way to effectively cover the potentially dangerous lead paint. This process is known as encapsulation. Regular water-based or oil-based paints won’t work. Instead, you’ll need to use paints specifically called “encapsulants.” Other methods may be used to remove lead paint, and each one has a different price tag. The process can cost anywhere from $8,000 to $15,000.
Painting interior walls averages $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot. Standard baseboards cost $1.00 to $1.50 per linear foot. Square footage is calculated by multiplying length in feet by height in feet (remember there are four walls in a room), then subtracting window and door space. Doors and window frames average about $60each. Many projects will require a primer and some will require a primer and two coats of paint. One gallon of paint covers about 400 square feet. Paint and labor are not the only costs. Masking tape, brushes and other items add some cost. In some areas there may be permit or inspection fees.

If you spot any of the above things, act accordingly to ensure your paint job last longer. Besides, you need to maintain your walls by regularly washing off dirt and moss before they eat into your paint.
You now have everything you need to start painting houses, so start marketing your business. Set up a Facebook page, talk to your friends and family members to see whether anyone they know needs work, and put up fliers around town advertising your business. Once a customer bites, you’ll have to provide an estimate for the work they need. Formalize an agreement, repeat the process and see how many houses you can paint.
