For construction professionals in Dallas, understanding the costs and timelines for painting projects is crucial. In 2025, the cost to paint a home in Dallas ranges from $2.40 to $4.10 per square foot for interiors and $1.90 to $3.35 for exteriors. These figures are based on current market analysis and supplier pricing. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of factors affecting costs and how to optimize your project scheduling.
• Square footage of walls and ceilings
• Number of stories and ladder height requirements
• Surface prep intensity—textured drywall, popcorn removal, wood repair
• Paint quality level (builder grade, mid-tier, high durability/low-VOC)
• Seasonal labor availability and crew size
• Permit or HOA color-match approvals
Interior repaint: $2.40–$4.10 per square foot of paintable area, including ceilings.
Exterior repaint: $1.90–$3.35 per square foot of cladded surface.
Accent walls & specialty finishes: add 15-30% for metallics, limewash, or murals.
