What Affects Interior Painting Costs?
Every painting project is unique, and several factors can impact the final price. From the size of your space to the level of detail involved, here's what we consider when estimating your interior painting job:
🏠 Project Size
Is your space large or small?
Larger rooms and homes require more paint, more labor, and more time—leading to a higher overall cost.
🖼️ Type of Surfaces
What are we painting?
Walls and ceilings are more straightforward, while cabinets, trim, and other detailed surfaces require extra care and effort.
🪑 Furniture & Obstacles
Is the space empty or fully furnished?
Occupied rooms with furniture, decor, and personal items take longer to prep and protect compared to empty spaces.
📏 Ceiling & Wall Height
How tall are your ceilings?
High ceilings, stairwells, and two-story rooms increase the complexity and time needed to complete the job.
🪟 Detail Level
Simple layout or lots of trim?
Homes with extensive trim work—like baseboards, wainscoting, crown moulding, and door/window frames—require significantly more time and precision.
🚪 Occupied vs. Unoccupied
Are you living in the home during the project?
Occupied homes require us to work around your schedule, belongings, and daily life, which can slow down the process and increase costs.
🔧 Prep & Priming Needs
How much prep work is needed?
New drywall, stained surfaces, and peeling paint often need priming and repairs before painting can begin.
🧰 Cabinet Painting
Painting cabinets?
Cabinet painting is more time-intensive and requires a high level of prep, including multiple sanding stages and a smooth sprayed finish for long-lasting results.
🎨 Paint Quality
What kind of paint are we using?
Premium paints offer better coverage, durability, and washability—but they come at a higher price.
🎯 Number of Colors
How many colors are in your design?
More colors = more cut-ins, masking, and cleanup—leading to added complexity and cost.
⏰ Scheduling Constraints
Need a tight turnaround?
Urgent timelines or special scheduling requests may affect pricing due to additional planning and labor coordination.

What Affects the Cost of Exterior Painting?
🧱 Size and Complexity of Your Home
Larger homes or multi-story buildings with many doors, windows, and detailed trim require more time, labor, and materials—raising the overall cost.
🌳 Landscaping and Greenery
Got gardens, bushes, or trees near your home? Extra care is needed to protect your landscaping, which can add time and complexity to the job.
🛠️ Surface Preparation Needs
Peeling paint, flaking, or surface damage requires extensive prep work like power washing, scraping, sanding, and priming—all of which significantly impact cost.
🪵 Wood Rot or Carpentry Repairs
If your siding or trim has rotted wood, it must be replaced before painting. This adds to the cost due to material and skilled labor requirements.
🎨 Number of Colors
Simple color schemes are quicker to apply. If you're using multiple colors, it takes more time for masking, color changes, and cleanup—resulting in higher costs.
🖌️ Paint Application Method
Spraying is fast and gives a smooth finish, but some areas may need brushing or rolling, especially with intricate details. This adds time and labor.
📅 Scheduling Requirements
Need your home painted by a specific date? Tight schedules may require adjustments to our calendar and crew availability, which can increase the price.
🏆 Paint Quality
Premium exterior paints offer superior durability and weather resistance—but they also come at a higher cost.
