Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
For interior painting, calculate the square footage of the wall space. Some contractors also calculate ceilings separately. Don't forget to account for trim by linear foot if you price it that way.
Yes, exterior painting often involves different considerations such as weather conditions, more extensive surface preparation (like power washing), and often working at heights, which can influence pricing. Interior painting can range from $2–$6 per square foot.
Commercial painting jobs are typically more extensive and can be priced differently, often ranging from $2–$6 per square foot for two coats of paint or $55–$120 per hour. Residential projects are frequently priced on a per-square-foot basis, such as $2.01–$4 per sq ft for mid-range projects.
Paint quality significantly impacts the material cost. Using standard paint for basic interior jobs might fall into the $1.1–$2 per sq ft range, while premium materials are a hallmark of the $4.01–$6 per sq ft premium tier, increasing both material expense and often requiring more precise application.
While per square foot is common, charging by the hour (often $55–$120 per hour for commercial jobs) can be suitable for smaller, more complex tasks like intricate trim work, detailed prep that's hard to quantify by square footage, or jobs with unpredictable variables. For trim, it may be $2 per linear foot.
