As an experienced custom painting and home improvement company in Yorktown and Williamsburg, Virginia, we get one question A LOT when it comes to home interior painting. That is, how much does it cost to paint the WHOLE interior of my home? This answer does not describe the cost for doing a few rooms or most of your house. This answer is if you are painting all of the rooms in your house, excluding the garage. As always, the answer can vary, but my goal is to go over the cost of whole house interior painting, options within whole house interior painting, how to save money and an example of why completing a whole house interior paint job is better than completing room by room.
Options Within Whole House Residential Interior Painting Projects:
- Painting of walls only
- Painting of ceiling and walls or walls and trim
- Painting of ceiling, walls, and trim
How Much Does Whole House Interior Painting Cost?
- Painting interior walls only: $4 per sq ft of your home
- Painting of ceilings and walls or walls and trim: $5 per sq ft
- Painting of ceiling, walls and trim: $6 per sq ft
How To Save Money When Doing Whole House Interior Painting:
- Move furniture and personal belongings yourself. If we have to move personal belongings, we have to charge you for that time.
- Exclude closets. We highly recommend this when you are living in the space. We do recommend painting closets if the entire space is empty.
- Using flat wall paint can save you money versus using satin wall paint
What Increases The Cost Of Interior Painting Projects:
- Excessive or large drywall repairs outside of basic nail holes or low volume of settlement cracks
- Five or more colors on the walls or trim
- Converting stained trim to painted trim
Example Of How Much You Save When You Complete Whole House Painting Versus Doing Rooms Individually:
- A 12x15 dining room individually would cost $1250, but at the sq ft price for whole house interior painting, it would only cost $1080. If you multiply that by a foyer, living room, kitchen, three bathrooms, three bedrooms, etc you save a lot of money!!!
