How much should interior painting cost?

So, you want to revive the interior of your home. One of the best ways to accomplish this is with a fresh coat of paint. But how much should you expect to spend on a professional painter? Here are some things to keep in mind before hiring someone to complete this job for you.


Hire an experienced professional


You’ll certainly find lots of people presenting themselves as “painters” on your local NextDoor or Facebook group, but are they really professionals? Of course, you will likely spend a bit more when hiring a professional painting company, but the result will be well worth it. Professional painters have all of the tools and experience necessary to complete the job with exceptional results.

  • Apply 1-3 coats where needed per product specifications
  • Reinstall wall and ceiling hardware such as switch plates, blinds, curtains, etc.
  • Remove all construction debris
  • Create laser sharp lines


What factors determine interior painting cost?


Bidding out a painting job is never as simple as measuring your floor square footage. There are multiple things a professional painter will need to assess before giving you an accurate estimate including:


  • Accessibility to the project area
  • Ceiling height
  • Level of intricately detailed areas
  • Open or closed floor plan
  • Baseboard, trim and door amount
  • Number of surfaces to be covered, or not covered
  • Amount of prep work
  • Surface conditions
  • Type of paint


Once we do a walk through of your home, we will have a better idea on what the end cost will be. 

Estimating interior painting cost


After measuring your rooms and looking at all of the areas you would like to have painted, Front Range Painters will get back to you with a detailed estimate. This will include the cost of the paint, prep materials, and labor. As a general rule of thumb, you can estimate between $2 and $6 per square foot. This is a wide range due to the factors listed above.
