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

Understanding our pricing can help you effectively budget for your project, so we’ve assembled this room-by-room guide to help. Understand that the prices published here are averages, and some factors may increase or decrease the standard price from these ballpark estimates.

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

1) The number of surfaces we’ll be painting will affect the price. For example, will we be painting your trim? Walls? Doors? Baseboards and crown molding?
2) The condition of the surfaces we’ll be painting makes a difference in preparation cost. If there are lots of dings, scratches, or holes in the surfaces, we’ll need to add more labor time to your quote to fill and sand them. Surfaces like horsehair plaster or wallpaper removal also change these considerations.
3) Wall height is a factor because an 8-foot ceiling is much easier to paint than a 16-foot foyer.
4) Will you be changing colors? Sometimes, if you’re changing colors to something much darker or much lighter, it will 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 very different colors (for example, if we’re changing the color on a yellow wall to brown).

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. All prices of walls are based on 2 coats of paint, and all ceilings, doors, trim, baseboards, and crown molding are based on a 1-coat refresh of a solid mid-grade paint from recognized paint companies. The prices below are based on painting the walls and then adding other surfaces. The price includes standard prep for each surface being painted. Prices may vary based on the total number of rooms and surfaces being done during the project.

Our project minimum is $1000 or more.

Choosing the right paint matters and will almost always save you money. We use a selection of paints from trusted brands, such as Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint.

All interior painting projects involve our standard surface preparation, including: filling cracks & holes, removing switch plates & outlet covers, covering and protecting unpainted surfaces, taping off trim, and removing dust and dirt prior to painting. Major drywall repairs, wallpaper removal, or painting new paneling or drywall typically add to labor costs and will increase the total price of your project.
