Q: What should a painting quote include?

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. Rooms with high ceilings require working from a ladder or scaffolding and often include trim or detail work, which adds to the final price. </p></div>

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>

They painted 1 primer and 2 coats of paint on the cupboards and they look great. We're very happy with the results. Two coats of paint (no primer) on the walls and they also look really good. I would hire them again.
