How Can You Determine The Cost of Getting Your Snellville Home Painted?

Whether you are getting your interior or exterior painted, there are a lot of factors that will determine the final cost of your painting project. Every home is unique, meaning that every project will have its own needs and obstacles. Specific preparation and different materials will need to be used depending on the surfaces being painted so that you have a look that you will enjoy for years to come. There are many factors you should consider when hiring a paining professional, including what brand of paint they’re using as well as the quality of the work in their portfolio.

Here are some factors that can impact the price of your interior or exterior painting project:

1. The condition of the painting surface. If there is any gaps in your siding or if the current paint on your exterior is chipping or peeling, repairs will need to be done prior to painting so that your home’s exterior surfaces are paintable. If there are imperfections on your drywall, they may require some light spackling so that they provide you with a smooth interior painting finish.
2. The kinds of surfaces being painted. Different kinds of surfaces will need different approaches when it comes to your painting project. Brick or stucco exteriors tend to soak paint right up, meaning a painter may have to apply more coats than usual. Other rougher surfaces might need certain materials and applications, which can increase the timeline of your project.
3. The height of the painting surface. Although this might not be as much of a factor when it comes to interiors, the height of the exterior of your home may create some difficulties. If the side of your home is two or more stories tall or if steep hills lead up to the painting area, it could make the higher areas harder to access. Additionally, more height typically means more surface area, so more paint will be needed to cover that area.
4. The number of colors used. If you plan on using multiple colors, it will require more time to apply them. Although an accent wall can really make a room pop, keep in mind that it will likely cost more than just painting a room one color.
5. The number of surfaces that need to be painted. More surface area to paint means it’ll take more time and materials to complete your project. This would include if you wish to get cabinets, shutters, or your deck/porch painted, especially if any of these also require repairs.

It can be hard to determine the price of a painting project before reaching out to a professional painting company, so we recommend requesting an estimate before choosing a company to undertake your project. This way, a professional painter can give you a rough estimate of what your final cost will be. Of course, unforeseen circumstances when the project is underway, such as weather conditions for exterior painting, can alter the timeline of your project, so you want to make sure the company you choose has open communication during the entire process.
