Frequently Asked Questions
Interior painting typically costs between $2-$6 per square foot, depending on factors like room size, ceiling height, paint quality, and prep work needed. A typical room costs $300-$800, while a whole house interior ranges from $2,000-$8,000. Get multiple quotes to compare pricing in your area.
A single room usually takes 1-2 days to complete, including prep work and drying time. A whole house interior typically takes 3-7 days depending on size and complexity. Factors like the number of coats, wall condition, and color changes can affect timeline.
Most professional painters will move small furniture and cover larger pieces with drop cloths. However, removing valuable or fragile items yourself is recommended. Discuss furniture handling during your quote consultation to understand what's included.
For interior walls, latex (water-based) paint is most popular due to easy cleanup and low odor. Use flat/matte finish for low-traffic areas, eggshell for living spaces, satin for kitchens/bathrooms, and semi-gloss for trim. Your painter can recommend the best options for each room.
Many professional painters offer color consultation services, either included or for an additional fee. They can help you choose colors that complement your furniture, lighting, and overall design aesthetic.
Professional painting typically includes surface preparation (patching holes, sanding, priming), protecting floors and furniture, applying paint (usually 2 coats), and cleanup. Some painters include minor repairs, while others charge extra.
Remove wall decorations, clear items from surfaces near walls, and relocate fragile items. Ensure painters have clear access to all areas. If you have pets, plan to keep them in a separate area.
Wait at least 2-3 weeks before hanging heavy items on freshly painted walls. The paint needs time to fully cure, even though it may feel dry to the touch within hours.
