Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
For a 2000 square foot house exterior, you would typically need around 20 gallons of paint, costing between $420 to $1,400 for materials. Labor for prep work could add $600 to $1,200, depending on the hours required.
The average cost to paint a 3,000 sq ft house interior is around $13,000. This could range from $11,000 on the lower end to $17,000 for a higher-end project including everything.
The variation in price per square foot ($2-$6) is due to factors like the level of surface preparation needed, the quality of paint chosen (standard vs. premium), the complexity of the job (e.g., intricate details, high ceilings), and whether the project is basic interior, standard interior/exterior, or premium whole-house painting.
In the broader Atlanta area, including Cumming, interior painting can range from $300 to $1,800 per room, depending on the room size, amount of prep work, and preferred finish quality.
When provided only with square footage, start by applying the typical per-square-foot range ($2–$6 per sq ft) as a baseline. However, always strive to conduct an on-site visit to accurately assess prep work, paint quality desired, and any complexities that would push the bid towards a basic, mid-range, or premium tier to provide a precise quote.
