How Much Do Pro Painters Charge?

The typical price of paint services for your home is $1.50 to $4 per square foot based on a number of elements. One of the biggest elements is the complete surface area that requires paint. A larger house or room with more area to paint requires more materials and time, which drives up the cost.

How Height Ups Residential Painting Prices

When paint professionals have to paint higher surfaces on a residence to finish work, the price can rise. This is because paint teams must erect scaffolding and use ladders and additional equipment to reach taller areas. That is additional manual labor, which raises prices. Some businesses might also reimburse employees an additional fee to account for more dangerous services.

If painters must work above 8 feet, for example, the cost can rise by 30%, on average. Jobs that require working over 19 feet can increase costs by around 120%.

Other Components That Determine Home Painting Job Prices

Height and overall size aren’t the only factors that might determine price. Location makes a big difference, as painting jobs cost more or less determined on the state and city you live in. The choice of paint also determines price, as high-end or premium paint totals more. If workers must do more repair or prep work than anticipated, such as replacing rotten siding boards or double priming over a dark wall, the price might also go up.

Common Jobs Painting Companies Provide

House painting businesses offer a wide range of projects, but not every company provides the exact same options. Some contractors may concentrate on interior paint jobs, while some handle special interior paint jobs or creative services such as murals in the living room.

Interior Painting Services

A selection of house painting companies will engage in interior paint jobs. That includes priming and painting walls. Experienced painters usually mark off and otherwise prepare the room to prevent paint from spilling on other surfaces and engage in edgework to ensure an attractive final outcome.

If you hope for painters to paint other areas, including ceilings, baseboards, or molding, ask contractors about these jobs before you employ them. Some might not offer that type of work and might charge extra fees.

Outside Painting Services

Exterior house painting companies paint the outside of residences, such as siding or other exterior wall areas. Talk to potential painting professionals about the type of surface that needs painting, as this may change the size and price of the job. Some painting professionals will handle big or tall houses and some won’t, as not all companies have the scaffolding and workers needed to paint multi-story homes.

Decorative House Painting Services

Decorative residential painting services includes decorative components, such as specialty accent walls or murals. Should you desire something along these lines, talk about it first with possible contractors to discover if they can provide the job or recommend an artist who can work alongside them.

When talking to potential home painting professionals in Jefferson City, detail what type of painting you’re looking for. The company can tell you whether or not they provide those services.

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.

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.

  1. Do your research. Understand what to expect and what to look for in a pro. Look at paint types, prices and costs.
    1. Interior home painting costs $1,000-$2,800
    2. Exterior painting costs $1,700-$4,100
    3. Painting a ceiling costs $150-$350
    4. Painting cabinets costs $350-$1,200
    5. Trim painting costs $500-$1,500
    6. Calculate paint coverage
  2. Call pros for site inspections and estimates. Always get three to five estimates.
  3. Check references, compare quotes, look at past work. After you have estimates in hand, do one final pass to compare the contractors.
  4. 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.

  1. 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.
  2. Are you licensed and insured? Not all states require a license for painting homes, but many do. Always use one that’s insured.
  3. Do you belong to any professional organizations? You’ll find many online, like the Painting Contractors Association or the Finishing Contractors Association?
  4. 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.
  5. How long will the job take? Get a rough estimate but get it in writing.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Can you supply a written estimate and contract? Never use a painter who isn’t willing to put his work in writing.
