We want to highlight the key factors that can influence price and also provide a transparent price range for painting one room in your home and a cost calculator to help you understand what to budget you’ll need for your painting project.
Room Size
One of the key factors but not the only one. Larger rooms naturally require more paint and time to complete. Additionally, simply because it takes that bit longer.
Wall Conditions
Walls with cracks, holes, or uneven surfaces may need extra preparation work, such as sanding or priming, which can add to the overall cost.
Paint Type & Finish
The quality of the paint, as well as the chosen finish (e.g., matte, satin, gloss), can significantly impact the price. Higher-quality paints can offer better durability and coverage but may come at a higher upfront cost
Room Design
Unique design features or un-orthodox room layout, such as intricate moldings, textured surfaces, or accent walls, often require more time and skill to paint.
Furnishings
If the room is already empty this will enable the team to accelerate the paint process as the team can start painting once they get there without having to move furniture,
Extras
If your project includes extras like ceiling painting, trim painting, or wallpaper removal, these can increase the cost.
