    Cost Drivers

    What actually moves the price

    Square footage, interior versus exterior, and how much trim, ceiling, and cabinet work you add set the number.

    Area

    Price scales with the square footage of surfaces painted. Whole-home repaints are more efficient per foot than single rooms.

    Interior vs exterior

    Exterior work adds prep, staging, weather windows, and more durable coatings, so it costs more per foot than interior walls.

    Prep & repair

    Patching, sanding, caulking, and priming are where a lasting job is made. Heavily damaged surfaces add labor.

    Trim, doors & ceilings

    Cutting in trim, doors, and ceilings is detailed labor added on top of wall area.

    Cabinets

    Painting cabinets is fine, exacting work that is priced separately and transforms a kitchen for a fraction of replacement.

    Coating quality

    Premium paints cost more per gallon but cover better, resist fading and scrubbing, and extend the repaint cycle.
