Interior Painting is a great way to add style and personality to your home; especially if you’re sick of retro-bleak colors that have long been out of favor or worse yet colors that never caught on; Donkey Tail Brown or Summer Squash Yellow are just plain offensive to look at!
This article will give you a ballpark price of the financial cost of painting interior rooms in your house. Prices from any other reputable painting company, fully licensed and insured, will fall in the same ballpark.
I. How big is the room?
i. Multiply Square Footage of Room by $0.80
ii. To find the Square Footage of a room
iii. Measure the Length and Width of the room (in feet)
iv. Then Multiply the Length and Width Measurements
v. For Example: a room 15 feet long by 12 feet wide would be 15 x 12 = 180 square feet; our Base Price would be $144; the base rate of $0.80 multiplied by 180 square feet
II. How tall are the ceilings?
i. 8 foot: No change to Base Price
ii. 9 foot: Multiply Base Price by 1.2
iii. 10 foot: Multiply Base Price by 1.3
iv. Vaulted: Multiply Base Price by 1.3
III. How many colors are being used?
i. 1 Color: No change to Base Price
ii. 2 Colors: Multiply Base Price by 1.2
iii. 3 Colors: Multiply Base Price by 1.3
IV. What is the Condition of the Walls?
i. Good Condition (no repairs): No change to Base Price
ii. Fair Condition (simple repairs): Multiply base price by 1.1
iii. Bad condition (large holes, cracking, water damage): Multiply base price by 1.3
V. How many coats?
i. 1 Coat: No change to Base Price
ii. 2 Coats: Multiply by 1.25
iii. 3 Coats: Multiply by 1.3
VI. Quality of paint?
i. Value: No change to Base Price
ii. Mid-Value: Multiply by 1.2
iii. Mid-Plus: Multiply by 1.25
iv. Premium: Multiply by 1.3
VII. Baseboards, Ceilings, Doors & Trim?
i. Baseboards: Multiply Square Footage of Room by $0.45
ii. Ceiling (non-Vaulted, single story): Multiply Square Footage by $0.55
iii. Vaulted Ceilings: Multiply Square Footage by $0.80
iv. Doors & Trim: $50 per Door
Here is an Example of a master bedroom measuring 15 feet long by 15 feet wide
SIZE: 15 * 15 = 225 square feet
225 * $0.80 = $180
Base Price will be $180
HEIGHT: Vaulted Ceiling; Multiply Base Price by 1.3
1.3 * 180 = $234
# of COLORS: Two colors being used; Multiply by 1.2
1.2 * 234 = $280.80
CONDITION: No repairs are being made; Multiply by 1
1 * 280.80 = $280.80
# of COATS: 2 Coats; Multiply by 1.25
1.25 * 280.80 = $351
PAINT QUALITY: Premium Paint; Multiply by 1.3
1.3 * 351 = $456.30
ADDING BASEBOARDS: Multiply Square Footage (Size) by 0.45
225 * 0.45 = $101.25
ADDING VAULTED CEILING:
Multiply Square Footage (Size) by 0.80
225 * 0.8 = $180
ADDING 3 DOORS: 3 * 50 = $150
WALLS Sub-Total: $456.30
BASEBOARDS: $101.25
VAULTED CEILING: $180
DOORS: $150
GRAND TOTAL: $887.55
