How much does a painter make by the hour?
In Montreal, Canada, a unionized painter makes roughly 25/hr. However, there are many companies run by college students in business programs which offer reliable results at a fraction of the cost (typically ~15/hr). You can also try your luck with someone looking to pierce the market with bargain prices (~min wage), just be sure to get some solid references. In any case, it is often advisable to go visually inspect some previous jobs done by the contractor.
