Therefore, investing in an interior painting project leads to a higher return on investment (ROI). The question is: what to charge for interior painting or how much does interior painting cost? We will answer this question and give you details in today’s article. Read on! 

 

What to Charge for Interior Painting?

 

The average cost of interior painting is between $600 and $1,000. However, how much a professional contractor charges will depend on various factors, such as:

 

• The number of rooms
• The type of paint 
• Labor costs 

 

To paint a room, a low-end painter may only charge you between $200 and $300. It may work for one-room projects, but maybe you want to paint all the walls in your 1500 sq ft townhouse. If you want to achieve long-lasting and reliable results, a professional contractor will charge you between $3,000 and $5,000. However, the total cost varies from company to company. 

 

Interior Painting – Per Square Foot Charges

 

The average interior wall painting cost per square foot is $1 to $3, including cleaning, prepping, and applying two coats of paint. However, some companies charge more than $3 per square foot because they carry out the step-by-step process that involves cleaning, surface prepping, paint application, and protecting floors, lights, etc. 

 

A professional painter will measure the area to figure out the square footage while at the project estimate. Bear in mind that some think the kitchen or bathroom doesn’t have much square footage because of cabinets, windows, or doors. It makes sense, but those areas require more prep, masking, and brushwork. This can take more time, depending on the room.

 

According to The Picky Painters, Cleveland, a small 10×12 room painting project will cost you between $700 and $900. It includes painting a 350 square foot wall surface ($515), 120 square foot ceiling surface ($105 to $185), door and casing ($85 per side), and a 44 LN FT baseboard ($85). 

 

On the other hand, the average cost to paint a single room is $900 to $1,000. Therefore, The Picky Painters, Cleveland, offers an affordable per square foot price than other companies. Also, remember that Picky Painters is a professional company with professional and skilled painters with many years of experience in interior painting.

For this reason, you may get a cheaper painting job if your house has many rooms. However, this is not the case with The Picky Painters because we offer high-quality services at the most affordable prices, regardless of the number of rooms. So how much do we charge for a medium and large room?

Bathroom Painting Charges or Costs

 

Many homeowners in Cleveland want to increase their home value. Experts at The Picky Painters suggest upgrading your home with a bathroom painting project. Bathrooms are smaller rooms in your house; take a gallon or two of paint for proper coverage. 

 

Therefore, it is a reliable and cost-effective way to improve your bathroom’s look. Unfortunately, while bathroom painting is essential to the interior painting project, many homeowners fail to estimate the price. Here is what you need to know about bathroom painting costs.

 

The standard bathroom is a rectangular shape and measures a size of 8×10 inches. The total cost of a typical bathroom project ranges between $250 and $600. However, consider that companies charge $600 for a more intense job that includes a step-by-step process. For instance, a professional painter will clean sand and mud and paint the woodwork, walls, and ceilings.
