Q: What is the average cost to paint a ceiling?

<div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/paint-ceiling-cost.htm">cost to paint a ceiling</a> ranges from <b>$3 to $8.50 per square foot</b>, which is about $1 to $2.50 more per square foot than the cost to paint the walls.

Q: How do you estimate the cost of painting interior walls?

<div><p>To estimate the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-paint-room.htm">cost to paint interior walls</a>, 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.</p></div>
