Wow! I had no idea painting was so expensive! I guess I just haven’t painted since I was young, and of course I was unaware of cost at 12, ha!
Due to the rainy winter months in the northwest, painting companies start offering very competitive pricing on interior painting projects. The deals and special offers that SFW Painting offer’s during this slow time can increase your savings and get your project done sooner. So, for a top-notch paint job using premier paints, you will want to get on our schedule for an estimate now! This will allow you to lock in a painting rate at special pricing saving you money, making winter the best time to paint your home. Another little known fact is that most paint contractors retain their best talent in the winter months so you are likely to have a master painter paint your home at a fraction of the cost. That’s a win/win.
To calculate the cost of an interior paint job that you do yourself, measure the square footage of the interior space you need to paint. Consider whether you will need primer or multiple coats to help with your color transition. If you’re just adding another layer of the same color of paint you used a few years back, you may be able to use a single coat and skip the primer.

The second line item “Walls”- walls will be done with the square footage as well. Most painters will charge $2.00- $4.00 per square foot on walls. $2.00 would be one coat, one color and one story home. $4.00 would be 2 coats on everything, a 2 story home, drywall repairs and multiple colors. Example- (1,500 sq ft home X $3.00 sq ft (average) = $4,500.00 to paint all walls. This would include labor and materials.

Excellent paint job, the house looked brand new. Communication was a bit difficult at the start, we asked for a quotation for just bedrooms and was provided with a whole house quotation but in the end fantastic job.
Your exterior paint has to withstand the elements throughout the year, which means you must use durable paint that meets the needs of your home. Generally speaking, you should paint your exterior every five to ten years, but this will depend on where you live, the climate, and the surface of your home. For example, wood siding should be painted every three to seven years, aluminum every five years, stucco 3 is five to six years, and brick can last fifteen to twenty years.
Once you know how many gallons of paint and primer you’ll need, you’ll have a rough idea on the cost based on the per-gallon price. Remember to factor additional expenses if necessary, such as paint guns, brushes, ladders, tape, etc
Where this gray paint shines is when you have decorative exposed brick or stone with cooler undertones on your home. Oftentimes, it’s rare to find a gray paint color that coordinates with these elements. Pewter Gray is the perfect deep cooler-toned exterior shade for the job. Combine this gray tone with wood accents and a dark blue or brown front door for a gorgeous modern exterior color palette.
