Main Interior Painting Pricing Considerations
Size of the Room and Areas Painted:
- The overall square footage of the walls to be painted.
- Whether the ceiling is included in the scope of work (this significantly increases the cost).
Complexity and Layout:
- Room Type: Kitchens and bathrooms typically cost more than standard bedrooms due to appliances, cabinets, and moisture-resistant paint requirements.
- Ceiling Height and Accessibility: Two-story foyers or rooms with vaulted ceilings require more time, specialized equipment (like tall ladders/scaffolding), and labor, leading to higher costs.
- Architectural Features: The presence of hard-to-reach areas or complex trim work.
Preparation and Wall Condition:
- The amount of prep work and repairs needed (e.g., patching cracks, fixing nail holes, repairing damaged drywall).
- Furniture Moving: Whether the crew needs to move most or all of your furniture, which adds time to the job.
Materials and Color Selection:
- Paint Quality and Finish: Using higher-quality, premium, or specialized paints (like durable bathroom finishes) increases material costs.
- Color Change: Going from a dark color to a very light color (or vice versa) often requires an extra coat of primer and/or paint coats to achieve solid coverage, increasing labor and material costs.
Scope of Additional Services:
- The inclusion of painting trim work (baseboards, crown molding, window/door frames) will add to the total cost.
- Adding other services like cabinet painting or wallpaper removal will require separate pricing.
