Our home painting experts are sticklers for quality, which is why they use primer. They know that primer can enhance paint's ability to provide a durable top coat while often reducing the number of coats that are necessary to achieve full coverage and a smooth finish.
While exterior paints cost more, it costs a bit more to paint a home interior versus the exterior. This cost difference is due to the complexity of the different rooms and the number of different spaces that need painting versus a consistent exterior wall. Plus, interiors usually have to be painted by hand or by roller, which is more labor intensive. Exterior paint can be sprayed. It costs approximately $8,700 to paint a home interior and about $5,500 a home exterior.

Prep work for old homes can be especially difficult. Poor prep work on an exterior will mean needing to re-paint sooner (sometimes literally within 1-2 years), which will cost far more time and money than doing it correctly in the first place. In fact, a good professional paint company may use more than half of the entire project time preparing a surface to paint. Trust the process; this time could be difference in hundreds of hours and dollars.
Many homeowners need a paint job after both interior and exterior remodeling projects. This can be especially true after siding repairs, drywall repairs, plaster 5 repairs, and other projects of that nature.
The size of your home and its condition are the two key factors in exterior painting costs. Others on the list have less impact:
Great job! Helped get the perfect exterior color for our Northstar house. The team stayed on top of all steps of the process. Would certainly use them again!
When I was getting bids, Mr. Lee was the only one who said not to paint the garage door and gutters AND explained exactly why. His estimate was detailed from start to finish and there were no surprises. They did exactly what they promised and I couldn't be more pleased. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

We will keep our focus more on the general painting cost to give you an idea of what you can expect to pay for quality interior painting.
For the house in the video below the cost to the homeowner was $5200. The house is approximately 3500 square feet. We scraped loose paint, fixed cracks and holes and painted body in one color and all trim an accent color. The per square foot cost was $1.49.
For example, if the rate is $30 per hour but there are two people working on your project, you would pay $60 per hour. The flip side is that the more painters there are, the faster they will get the job done. Your overall labor cost will usually be about the same no matter how many people the painting company puts on your job.
Most painting companies (including our own) do not price work on an hourly basis.
As for your brush, dip it into your cut bucket about 1/3 of the way up the bristles. Push the end of the bristles against the inside of the bucket or another flat surface, moving it around in a circular motion to ensure that all of the bristles are evenly coated with paint.

The crew was courteous and on time. They did a good job protecting our new flooring and cabinetry. The edges of the paint were sharp and it was hard to find areas that needed to be touched up. After they were done, they left without leaving a trace.
