How Much Will It Cost to Paint My Home in Lexington, KY?
A room-by-room and surface-by-surface pricing guide for interior and exterior projects:
Many homeowners in Lexington and the surrounding communities want a clear idea of what a painting project may cost, whether they’re updating the inside of their home or refreshing the exterior. To help you plan and budget, CertaPro Painters® of Lexington, KY has created this guide outlining typical interior and exterior painting costs based on homes in the local area. These figures represent averages, and your final estimate may vary depending on the specific details of your project.
In general, these things will affect the cost of the project:
1) The number of surfaces being painted: Are we painting just interior walls, or will ceilings, trim, doors, baseboards, or cabinets be included? For exterior projects, this may include siding, trim, shutters, doors, garages, porches, or fences.
2) The current condition of your surfaces: Surfaces in good condition require less preparation. However, repairs such as filling nail holes, patching drywall, sanding rough areas, addressing wood rot, or removing peeling paint will increase prep time. Older homes in the Lexington area may also require additional prep due to aging materials or previous coatings.
3) Ceiling and wall height: Interior projects with tall ceilings, stairwells, or vaulted spaces require additional equipment and labor. Exterior projects with multiple stories, steep rooflines, or limited access areas can also impact pricing.
4) Color changes: Dramatic color changes, darker shades, or specialty finishes may require additional coats for full coverage. For exteriors, factors such as sun exposure and surface material can also influence the number of coats needed.
