It's not typical that a painter will give you a per-hour rate, but you can ask. Hourly rates for professional painters can cost you between $20 and $50 for a basic paint job, or $100 or more per hour for more specialized work like painting murals or using a particular level of paint.

The hourly rate of a painter can range from €15/hr to €20/hr. The hourly rate will depend on the size of the project and the experience of the painter. A more experienced painter will be able to charge more for their time, as they are able to complete projects quicker than less experienced painters.

Even though this may seem a very obvious reason when it comes to painting and decorating, hiring a professional painter and decorator are most likely going to save you costs as it is a safe investment as they know what they are doing, and you will not have to buy the tools if you did the job yourself.
