What changes the price

Why Two Rooms of the Same Size Can Cost Different Amounts

The guide gives a range because every surface starts in a different condition.

  • Prep

    Patching, sanding, caulking and priming take time before a drop of finish paint goes on. Walls in good shape cost less to paint than walls that need repair.

  • What gets painted

    Walls alone cost less per square foot than walls with ceilings and trim. Doors, trim and baseboards are priced separately.

  • Height and access

    Two-story foyers, tall exteriors and detailed trim take longer to reach and cut in than a standard room.

  • Color changes

    Going from dark to light, or the other way, can take extra coats.
