"Estimator wanted to present the quote in person, that was fine except none of the estimate was prepared in advance. He sat at our kitchen table working on it while our kids were eating dinner. Very strange. The quote was also three times higher than others received."

Hi my name is Francisco Ortiz I recently started my own business as a painter but I have been in this industry for a little over 22 years with plenty of experience. Specializing in special finishes, lacquers, patina, antiques, glaze, and stain. I also refinish cabinets and custom paint. I do interior and exterior work. Minor drywall repairs, moulding installation and much much more. High Craftsmanship, 100% satisfaction!

"Francisco and his team were so easy to work with and did an excellent job painting the outside of our house. From the first meeting, Francisco communicated great and was very professional in sending the quote, setting up the job, and following through until completion. His crew was always at the house early and worked hard over the course of 6 days to complete the job. We changed the color entirely and they made sure the paint covered the house completely with 3 coats. We were also having trouble with a front porch light and a crew member came out right away to double check everything was reinstalled correctly. I was super impressed with their promptness and focus on making sure the job got done well! We will absolutely hire them again and will recommend their services to friends and family. Thank you Supremacy Painting!"

Interior painting services FAQs

When you’re considering hiring a painter, a quote should include the following items:

  • Overall price

  • Price for each area (e.g., living room, master bedroom) or item (e.g., trim, doors)

  • Cost of labor

  • Cost of materials

  • Description of prep

  • Description of repairs to be made

  • Description and details of paint application (number of coats, brand and type of paint, etc.)

You may need to provide your own paint, depending on the agreement you make with the painter. Some painters prefer that you buy the paint and they supply the labor. However, some professional painters get a better price on paint and can pass that savings along to you even after accounting for labor costs.

The average cost to paint a ceiling ranges from $3 to $8.50 per square foot, which is about $1 to $2.50 more per square foot than the cost to paint the walls. Rooms with high ceilings require working from a ladder or scaffolding and often include trim or detail work, which adds to the final price.

Professional painters charge $20 to $50 per hour, on average. Hourly rate cost factors include the complexity of the paint job, the type of paint, the height of the walls and ceiling, and the type of prep and repairs needed. For example, removing wallpaper costs an additional $3 per square foot because it can be very time consuming and labor intensive. Your location will also impact the hour rate.

To estimate the cost to paint interior walls, multiply the square footage by the average price range to paint interior walls, which is $2 to $6 per square foot. For example, a 12-by-12-foot room with 8-foot tall walls is 384 square feet, meaning that the cost to paint the room will range from $768 to $2,304. Painting the ceiling and any trim will add to the overall cost, as will any repairs.
