Getting An Estimate

Posted on September 9, 2021

How do I get an estimate for painting my home? Most professional painting companies will offer you a free in-home estimate. You can sign up for a free in-home estimate here or call us at:
How much does it cost to paint a house? To paint the exterior of a 2,500-square-foot, two-story home, professional painters charge around $4,000 for labor and materials. The cost to paint the interior of a 2,500-square-foot, two-story home is roughly $5,500. Painters’ rates may range from $20 to $60 per hour, but around $40 is typical in urban areas.

How much does it cost to paint the interior of a house? The average-size home in the United States is around 2,300 square feet, while the average cost of interior painting ranges from $2-$5 per square foot, with most homeowners paying around $3. This makes the cost of painting a home interior $6,900 (two coats of paint, trim and ceilings) on average in the US. Costs can vary greatly based on the complexity of the work, additional prep work and repairs, quality of the paint and even the part of the country you live in, just to name a few!

How much does it cost to paint the exterior of a house? The quoted price will vary from state-to-state. Initial estimates from painting contractors are primarily based on the square footage of your home. Additional factors contributing to price variations are the cost of materials and labor in your area, along with the number of stories and ease of access to the home. Currently, the average cost to paint the exterior of a 2-story home between 1,500 and 3,000 square feet is between $3,000 and $4,500+. The best way to find out how much it will cost to paint your home is to get a few quotes from professional painting companies in your area.
