How Much Does it Cost to Paint My House?

Posted on July 19, 2023

Before hiring professionals to paint your home’s interior or exterior, it’s important to get an estimate. Estimates not only help you figure out how much the project will cost, but they also give the painters an idea of your goals, budget, and timeline. 

At CertaPro Painters® of Freehold-Hightstown, NJ, we offer free estimates to all our customers. Though scheduling an estimate is the most accurate way to determine how much your project will cost, here you can get a general idea of our pricing.

How much will it cost to paint my house in Freehold-Hightstown?

The cost for interior and exterior projects can vary greatly, with total hours of labor and gallons of paint being the main variables. At the time of your initial appointment, we will take an inventory of your project and evaluate those numbers using time-tested estimating standards. At the end of the meeting, you’ll receive a written proposal, which will show the total price, as well as quotes for individual rooms, exterior sides, or optional items.

Does CertaPro Painters® of Freehold-Hightstown, NJ, have a project minimum?

Our painters are professionals and are compensated for a whole workday regardless of project size. While we don’t have a “written in stone” project minimum and will try to accommodate all our customers, projects below a certain number may be uneconomical, depending on project type and location.

Is there anything that can change the cost of my project after I receive a quote?

We usually quote for two coats on all surfaces, which is almost always sufficient. Sometimes a customer will select a color that needs more than two coats to cover the walls (i.e., reds, yellows, and some off-whites). We will often be able to point this out before the project starts, but sometimes the issue doesn’t arise until after painting begins. This situation also depends on other factors, like the condition of the surfaces when we start the project, the old color, etc. If this happens, we alert our customers about the issue and let them decide if they are satisfied with two coats or want to add an extra coat.

How many paint colors do you include in your typical proposal?

For interior proposals, our customers typically select one color per room. However, we are seeing more and more projects with fewer colors (such as first-floor and second-floor colors). Sometimes homeowners ask us to paint accent walls in a second color for a small charge.
