What affects the cost
Square footage and number of rooms
Larger areas mean more rolling, cutting in, and time. Trim-heavy rooms cost more per square foot than open rooms with simple baseboards.
Wall condition and prep
Holes, cracks, water stains, or texture patching add prep time. Coverage of dark or bold existing colors usually adds an extra coat.
Number of colors and finishes
Each new color is more cut-in. Trim, walls, ceilings, and doors often use different sheens. Multi-color rooms add labor.
Trim, doors, and baseboards
Hand-painting trim in enamel takes longer than rolling walls. Most painters quote walls and trim separately.
Cabinetry, built-ins, and stairs
These are usually quoted as add-ons because they need different products and prep.
What to ask painters
- • Will you patch and sand walls before painting, and is that included?
- • How many coats are in the quote?
- • Are you using a flat, eggshell, satin, or semi-gloss finish where?
- • What product and line will you use?
- • Do you move and protect furniture, or do I need to clear the room?
- • How long do I need to be out of the house?
- • Do you carry active Oregon CCB license and liability insurance?
FAQs
How long does an interior repaint take?
Single rooms are usually done in a day. A whole-house interior repaint typically takes 3 to 7 working days depending on size, trim, and prep.
How long until I can move furniture back?
Most modern interior paints are dry to the touch in 1 to 2 hours and fully cure in 2 to 4 weeks. Leave a buffer before placing heavy furniture against freshly painted walls.
Do I need to be home while the painters work?
Most painters prefer access during business hours but do not require you to be there for the full job. Discuss key handoff and security in your quote.
