How much will it cost to paint my walls? Cost to paint Walls? Interior painting cost?
These are very common questions we get from clients calling in to get an idea on the cost to hire a professional interior painter in kansas city. In this video I will outline the 4 factors we as painting contractors consider when quoting interior painting of walls.
There are 4 main factors that we take into consideration when we go about quoting your walls.
The 1st factor is furniture in the room. If we have to move furniture out of the Room or move any wall hangings we will have to add extra time and labor to account for that.
The 2nd factor is going to be how much prep work we have to do on the walls. If there is a lot of holes in the walls from wall hangings, dry wall tape that needs to be repaired, or alot of dents and gauges on the walls, then we need to take that into account on our quote.
The 3rd factor we take into consideration is the type of paint we're going to use on the walls. Most builders grade or low price paint is going to be your typical flat sheen paint. Flat is not very washable and is not recommended if your going to invest in repainting your walls. Flat paint is only a good option if you're looking to cut costs as much as possible. The most common type of paint we use and recommend is eggshell sheen paint. Eggshell sheen paint has enough sheen that it is washable but not too much sheen that it looks unattractive. If you would like to use something higher sheen than eggshell keep in mind that the price will increase with each tier of sheen that increase by.
The final factor is going to be how much masking we have to do. If we have to mask off the carpet it will be a bit more in price than if we did not need to mask it off. In the video I show a wainscoting white wall. Customers are usually under the impression that if there is not much wall surface area in a room, like in the example in the video, then painting that room should be quicker. That is not always the case. Masking off areas always takes more time then simply rolling a wall with paint. In the example, the amount of time to mask off the enamel wall will almost take the same amount of time to cut in that wall if it were to be painted. This is why interior painting is very detail oriented work and price is mostly affected by the amount of time to prep and mask off rather than actual painting.
To summarize their 4 factors that we take into account when quoting walls are:
-Amount of repairs on the walls
-Type of paint that we use.
-Amount of masking we need to do
-If any furniture needs to be moved
Now it's time to get into pricing to paint your walls. We searched online "cost to paint walls" to find out what other reputable companies were saying about the cost to paint walls.
According to smart asset the cost of painting walls should be anywhere from $1.50 to $3.50 a square foot. According to home advisor the cost to paint a room should be $2 to $6 per square foot. They gave us an average of $3.50 which we'll use to compare for just walls.
Using their averages Home Advisor came in at $775 for this room which is really expensive for just walls.
Using the average from Smart Asset the cost came to $575 just for walls. This is possible if we had to move furniture, use a really expensive paint, and/or do extensive drywall repair on the walls.
Using our way of estimating (which is based off wall square footage not off of floor square footage) our price came to a $475 for just walls. This price includes using a high quality washable paint like Super Paint Velvet, minimal prep on walls, and minimal furniture in the room to be moved. The way we came up with our price was using $0.75 to $0.85 per wall square foot. A quick way to get a ballpark figure for your entire house or any room is $2 to $2.50 per square foot. This will give you a fast ball park number of what it will cost hire a professional painter to paint your rooms.
