For construction professionals, accurately estimating painting costs is crucial. Prices can range from $450 to $700 for a standard 10' × 12' bedroom, while a full exterior repaint on a 2,000 sq ft home might cost $6,800 to $11,000. These variations depend on factors like labor rates, material costs, and project complexity. Staying informed about these elements ensures precise budgeting and successful project execution.
More square footage means more labor and materials. High ceilings and intricate trim can increase costs significantly.
Prepping surfaces with issues like peeling paint can add 25% to 40% to the cost.
Higher quality paints, such as eggshell finishes, can cost significantly more, impacting overall expenses.
Labor costs vary by region, with metropolitan areas often seeing higher rates.
Occupied homes require additional precautions, potentially increasing costs.
