Yes i completely agree with getting quality tools! I have had so many frustrations from buying garbage tools. It ends up costing more in the long run. Thank you so much for sharing this was very helpful! Painter December 26, 2020
Painting trim allows for a more professional and cheaper way to paint vs doing the walls and trim separately. Trim painting costs are determined by measuring linear footage and is dependent on the amount of trim and the size of the room. The cost per linear foot is $1.05 – $2.60 to paint the trim in a house.

First, we worked to remove all wallpaper throughout the house. There was a wallpaper border in a couple rooms, so it wasn’t too big of a deal taking it off. I basically scored the paper, wet it, then scraped it off. We did a more in-depth post last year. The main thing to keep in mind when removing wallpaper is to score well, then soak soak soak. The longer you let the paper soak up the removal spray or water, the easier it will peel off! Don’t paint over the wallpaper. Like most short cuts in home repair, it will lead to more problems down the road. Which I ran into in this house. In the dining room, I was removing the wallpaper when I realized somebody had previously painted over wallpaper. In the entire room! Which leads me to the second thing we did.
These and many factors will affect the pricing of an estimator. This article is purposely written to explain interior painting costs. We will reveal some existing, average, and sample costs by interior painting contractors.
One more factor in cost is what portion of the work you do yourself. For interior painting, if you move furniture and wall hangings, that will lessen cost somewhat. Similarly, if you move any items blocking full access to the exterior areas to be painted, costs will be a little less.
You’ll save time and money if you detect and remove lead paint before painting over it, so you may want to have a lead paint inspection for about $300 on average before hiring someone to paint your walls.
If you're painting your ceilings you'll want to paint them before you start the walls. Using your brush, cut-in a straight line where the ceiling meets the walls or, if there's crown molding, where the ceiling meets the trim. If you're also painting the walls and/or crown molding you can actually overlap the paint onto the adjacent surfaces since you'll be covering it up later. Make certain you keep your brush wet to avoide any drag marks on your finish caused by dry bristles.
I had to remove 750 square feet of siding because of rot. That was not even included in the estimate!

We’re currently flipping a house from the late 60s. We stripped popcorn ceilings ourselves in the entire house, re-textured every ceiling and wall, replaced all of the trim, and repainted every surface. We painted the ceilings with a roller extension- it was by far my least favorite part of renovations so far- so much easier if you do it before flooring is in though! I can’t wait to see more posts on the house! Such a neat project! Emily @ Life on Food February 25, 2015

Even if you go it alone, specialize to keep your initial investment low. If you do only interior painting, for example, you might get by with one ladder, a few brushes, rollers, basic hand tools and such, for an investment of less than $300. Again, you can add to your tools as you need to (every job is a bit different), and parlay profits into the equipment necessary for exterior painting or working on large commercial properties.
