Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
Painters typically price a job by the square footage of the project. Some contractors also use a rough base rate, multiply paint costs, or estimate time plus materials. Additionally, flat fees for fixed expenses like overhead and permits may be included.
For a 12x12 room, you can expect to charge an average of $290–$870 depending on the scope of work, including labor and materials. This would be for painting the walls only or the entire room.
To price out a painting job, you can use a base rate of $1.50 to $2.00 per square foot, multiply 4 to 6 times the paint cost, or estimate the time (labor) the job will take and add it to an estimate of materials.
A 2,000-square-foot house exterior will typically require around 20 gallons of paint, costing between $420 to $1,400 for the paint itself.
For a 20x20 room (400 sq.ft.), the average cost to paint the walls only, including labor, would be $600–$1,400. If painting the entire room, including labor, the cost would be $1,200–$1,600.
