Interior House Painting Pricing Guide

A room-by-room guide to our interior pricing:

We know thinking about painting prices for painting your home can be an overwhelming thought, so here at CertaPro Painters of Des Moines, IA, we put together this room-by-room guide to help you understand and plan for your project costs. Please note that the prices you see in this guide are averages, and some things might affect the price from these rough estimates..

In general these things will affect the cost of the project:

1) The number of surfaces we paint – For example, will we be painting your trim? Walls? Doors? Baseboard and crown molding? or Walls only?
2) The conditions of the surfaces – If there significant damage to the surface such as dings, scratches or holes in the surfaces, preparing the surface may take longer and as a result increase cost of labor.
3) Wall height – Wall height is a factor because painting an 8-foot ceiling will cost significantly less to paint than a 16-foot foyer.
4) Changing colors – Changing colors to something much darker or much lighter may require more coats of paint to cover over the old color. In general, we quote projects with 2 coats of paint if they are the same or a similar color to the surface paint we’ll be covering. We’ll need 3 or even 4 coats if we’re painting over a much different color.

These are just some of the factors that contribute to the price of painting the interior of your home. Below you will find some examples of some common sized rooms.

Standard Bedroom

For the 12 x 12 Standard Bedroom, the price range is around $300. If you have wood windows and walk-in closets then this pricing may be higher.

Master Bathroom

The price range for a 8 x 12 Master Bathroom is around $290. Depending on the size and how many wood windows and tile there are your pricing may be on the higher end.

Living Room/Family Room

The cost of painting a 18 x 22 Living Room/ Family Room will range around $425. If your living room has a lot of crown molding or picture boxes and wood windows, then the pricing may be on the higher end.

Kitchen

The 16 x 18 Kitchen with attached Dining Room painting will usually cost around $510. If you have an eat-in kitchen you may be on the higher end since that’s a larger space. It also takes time to cut around cabinets.
