Professional Interior Painting Pricing for Homeowners

Homes with higher ceilings, detailed trim, heavy wear, previous smoke exposure, or areas requiring additional repairs may require more time and materials. Paint selection and finish type can also affect overall cost. The pricing on this page is designed to give homeowners a clear starting point. During your free walkthrough, we review your space, confirm measurements, and provide a written quote with exact totals—so you know what to expect before work begins.

Individual Pricing

Pricing is based on room floor space, linear footage, or per-item totals where noted.

How measurements work:

  • Room square footage is based on the size of the floor. Measure the length and width of the room and multiply them together (length × width).
  • Trim pricing is based on the distance around the room. Measure along the walls where the trim runs and add those lengths together.
  • Not sure on measurements? That’s okay. We confirm everything during a walkthrough and provide a written quote with exact pricing. schedule a free walkthrough.
