The cost of Painting your home’s interior can be very cheap if you decide to do it yourself, but will also be a lot of work. Of course, hiring professionals to do the painting for you will make it much faster, but will come at a price.

The Cost of Hiring Professional Painters for Interior Paint Jobs

As previously stated, hiring a professional painter is going to have a big impact on your painting budget.

There are several factors that will impact the cost of hiring a professional painter to paint your house.

The Size of the Room

Obviously the larger the room, the more it is going to cost to paint because it will require more time and materials to get the job done. The average room that is 10×12 feet, will cost about $500 to have professionally painted, not including the ceilings or trim.

If you have extra high ceilings, you may also see that number go up significantly.

The Texture of the Walls

Certain wall textures and finishes can have a real drain on your painting budget. Textured walls are most common in warmer climates like Florida and California where the majority of the houses have stucco.

Unfortunately, these are the most expensive houses to paint because the texture absorbs more paint. If you do have textured walls, it is best to calculate an additional 350 square feet to help you determine what your budget will need to be.

The Number of Rooms to be Painted

Another obvious factor that will impact your budget when hiring professionals is whether you’re looking to paint just one room or your entire house. Keep in mind when you’re getting quotes, that you may want to try and negotiate for discounts if you’re having several rooms or the whole house done.

Don’t forget to calculate the time it will take for primer or paint to dry in between multiple coats which could drag out the timeline of your project a few days. If you’re preparing to put your house on the market in the near future, you’ll want to remember to keep the palette throughout the entire house as neutral as possible, while keeping it within the same style as the house.

Speed

The time it takes for a professional painter to complete the job will be a key component of the cost of the project. Most of the time when a painter is writing a quote, they will base their pricing primarily on how long they estimate it will take them to complete the job. The majority of painters will be able to cover an average of 100 square feet per hour.

The Average Paint Prices

Supplies are another component that will affect your budget whether you decide to hire professionals or go the DIY route. Some professionals will charge a markup on the job supplies they use.
