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.

Painting the ceiling and any trim will add to the overall cost, as will any repairs.</p></div>

We had the exterior of a former house painted. We were so impressed that when we moved, we had the crew paint our new house. A year or so later we had them paint inside rooms (remove wallpaper--the works) and they did an equally professional job. Definitely worth the money.
