How Much Do Painters Charge?
The price for expert home painting services can vary depending on many factors. The paint job’s size is one of the biggest cost factors. Interior house painting services costs around $3.50 per square foot, while exterior home painting jobs can cost, on average, $1.50 to $4 per square foot.
Why Height Ups House Painting Costs
When paint professionals have to reach higher surfaces on a residence to complete services, the price can go up. This is because paint professionals must erect scaffolding and use ladders and other equipment to reach higher areas. That’s additional manual labor, which increases costs. Some professionals may also reimburse workers an additional fee to account for more dangerous work.
If painters have to work above 8 feet, for example, the cost can go up by 30%, on average. Services that necessitate working above 19 feet can raise prices by around 120%.
Some Other Factors That Determine Residential Painting Job Prices
Height and overall size aren’t the only elements that may impact cost. Location plays a big role, as painting services cost more or less depending on the state and city you’re in. The choice of paint also impacts price, as high-end or premium paint comes to more. If workers must perform more repair or prep work than expected, such as double priming over a dark wall or replacing rotten siding boards, the price might also be inflated.
A great way to determine what your home painting project might cost is to obtain pricing info from potential painting contractors in Tucson.
Regular Services Painting Businesses Offer
Not all residential painters perform the same types of house painting, so it’s important to understand what services are available and who you might go to for them. Some residential painters may only paint the outside of houses, while others may only do interior painting. Some may only perform creative projects, such as adding decorative accent walls or murals to spaces.
Home Interior Painting Jobs
Many house painting companies will engage in interior paint jobs. This includes priming and painting walls. Professional painters typically mark off and otherwise prep the room to prevent paint from spilling on other surfaces and perform edgework to guarantee an attractive final outcome.
Should you anticipate painters to paint other areas, including molding, ceilings, or baseboards, ask professionals about these services before you hire them. Some may not offer the services and might charge extra.
Outside Painting Services
Exterior house painting companies paint the outside of homes, including siding or other outer wall areas. Talk to possible painting contractors regarding the type of surface that requires painting, as this might alter the size and price of the job. Some painting businesses will handle big or towering residences and some won’t, as not all businesses have the scaffolding and workers required to paint multi-story homes.
Decorative House Painting Jobs
Decorative home painting services includes decorative components, such as specialty highlighted walls or murals. If you have your heart set on something along these lines, speak about it first with potential companies to discover if they can provide the work or recommend an artist who can paint alongside them.
If speaking to possible home painting professionals in Tucson, explain what kind of painting you’re searching for. The company can tell you whether or not they provide those jobs.
Frequently asked questions
Painters usually price a job by the square feet of the project. Sometimes they’ll include flat fees for fixed expenses, like overhead and permits.
We make finding a painter easy. Simple use our directory to find a painter. Here you can browse local pros, check their reviews and do your first screening without ever having to call. We’ve also prescreened all the pros for you, to give you peace of mind.
Interior painting makes for a doable DIY project. You can save some money and get a real sense of accomplishment by doing this yourself. And, with the right prep work – covering, taping and scraping – it’s fairly forgiving. But it takes a lot of time to move furniture, tape trim, prep the surface and cover your floor, let alone apply the actual paint. Instead, save yourself the time and hassle and find a local interior painter.
Leave exterior painting to the pros. Not only do you need to worry about the type and quality of the paint, you’ll also likely need a ladder and considerably more prep work. You’ll likely need additional equipment like ladders, scaffolding and possibly a paint sprayer. It’s almost cheaper to just hire a pro. Talk to a local exterior house painter about your project.
- Do your research. Understand what to expect and what to look for in a pro. Look at paint types, prices and costs.
- Interior home painting costs $1,000-$2,800
- Exterior painting costs $1,700-$4,100
- Painting a ceiling costs $150-$350
- Painting cabinets costs $350-$1,200
- Trim painting costs $500-$1,500
- Calculate paint coverage
- Call pros for site inspections and estimates. Always get three to five estimates.
- Check references, compare quotes, look at past work. After you have estimates in hand, do one final pass to compare the contractors.
- Sign a contract with the pro of your choice. You might need to make a down payment, usually 25% to 50% of the total project cost to cover material costs, but not all pros require this. Don’t pay for the entire project upfront.
- A complete inspection. Each pro takes a walk around your home to evaluate the condition of your current paint, the size of the job and any obstacles for accessing the site. They do this to see how much prep work they’ll need and estimate how long the job will take. The more thorough the inspection, the more accurate the quote.
- Color consultation. Expect each contractor to have varying color options and suggestions. However, you have the final say.
- Listen to the pro – they’re experts after all – but don’t get pushed into a color combination or finish type that you don’t want. Understand the different exterior paints or interior paint choices before your pro arrives.
- A rough estimate or complete quote. Finishing contractors vary here. Usually, they can quote straightforward projects on the spot. But some may need to take it back to their shop to run numbers and give you a detailed estimate with costs broken out. Neither method is better than the other, but just make sure to get multiple quotes.
- How long have you been in business? A long business history helps you avoid shoddy companies. It’s hard for a service business to stay in business if they don’t do good work.
- Are you licensed and insured? Not all states require a license for painting homes, but many do. Always use one that’s insured.
- Do you belong to any professional organizations? You’ll find many online, like the Painting Contractors Association or the Finishing Contractors Association?
- Do you have other work I can look at? Always check a portfolio or, in the case of painters, it’s better to look at work they did a few years ago to see how well it’s held up.
- How long will the job take? Get a rough estimate but get it in writing.
- How many people are in your crew? This is especially important if you work remotely. More people generally means more noise, but they’ll be done faster.
- Will I be in the way if I’m home during the painting? You usually won’t be in the way, but this question helps you understand what to expect while they’re working. They’ll need to lay down coverings and do a lot of prep work.
- Do you guarantee your work? Never hire a painter who doesn’t guarantee their work. This often means they’ll rush the prep work, since peeling never happens right away.
- What type of paint do you use, and how long is it rated to last? Different rooms need different paint and the exterior needs exterior paint. It comes in different grades with different guaranteed lifetimes.
- Can you supply a written estimate and contract? Never use a painter who isn’t willing to put his work in writing.
