What is the hourly rate for a painter in Florida?

well i just recently got my house painted for the first time and their going rate was $18 an hour . which i called around and everyone was telling me $25 an hour $30 an hour and i thought that was high , so i called TAAS paint and stain. found them on Craigslist. i thought it was going to be people that didnt know english , try to cheap me out of my money but actually they were really friendly and my house looks amazing. 713-825-4758 if anyone wants their house painted . great quality
