I didn't like that they charged us to move the furniture for them to paint. I was surprised about how much more we had to pay over the deal price. They are polite and efficient. Their painting was very good. There was no random spots of paint where paint shouldn't be.

Everything went very well. I expected this because I used Pro Paintworks several years ago to paint the interior of my home. Gabriel and his crew came over and caulked and painted all trim on the house. In addition, I asked them to scrape and paint my four basement windows which were in rough...

Painting was very good. It took about 10 days longer than quoted. We also have to replace three doors that were removed and spray painted. They were painted well but weren't plumb when re-installed.

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.
