Get QuotesWhy two painting quotes for the same home can vary significantly
Painting costs depend on surface condition, scope, and the quality of materials used. These factors explain most of the spread between bids.
Peeling paint, cracks, and moisture damage all need addressing before a coat goes on. Prep often drives more of the cost than the paint itself.
More square footage and more rooms mean more labor hours, more paint, and more drop cloths, tape, and protection.
Premium paints last longer and provide better coverage. Two coats is standard; more coats add cost but improve durability.
Rooms with vaulted ceilings, stairwells, or hard-to-reach exterior areas require more equipment, scaffolding time, and crew hours.

From color selection to final brush stroke
Most painting projects follow the same four phases.
Color consultation & quote
A painter assesses the scope, surface conditions, and helps estimate the amount of paint needed for your project.
Prep day
Furniture is moved, surfaces are cleaned, sanded, patched, and primed where needed - the prep work determines the final result.
Painting
Most interior rooms are done in one to two days. Exterior and larger projects may take three to five days depending on the home.
Final walkthrough
Inspect trim lines, coverage, and touch-ups before final sign-off. A good painter addresses any issues before calling the job done.
Painting questions, answered
A typical 2,000 sq ft home interior runs $1,200–$6,000 depending on the number of rooms, ceiling height, surface condition, and paint quality chosen.
Most exterior paint jobs last 7–10 years on wood, and longer on fiber cement or stucco. Signs of peeling, fading, or chalking mean it's time.
Professional painters work faster, achieve better results, and handle all prep and cleanup. For anything beyond a single small room, hiring out is usually worth it.
Primer seals and prepares surfaces for paint adhesion, especially on bare drywall, repaired areas, or when making a dramatic color change. Skipping primer shows.
Quality exterior paint on properly prepared surfaces typically lasts 7–10 years. Cheaper products, poor prep, or harsh climates can shorten that significantly.
