Cost of Paints

Painting your house is an excellent way of sprucing it up with a breath of fresh air. Paints are important building materials and come in a variety of colors that can be used to paint walls, furniture, or anything else you want to paint. But, buying paint for your home can be quite expensive. The cost of paints depends upon the type of paints being used, but it can be very high. It is best to shop around to find the best deal on paints since different brands have different prices.

When we say it cost $1000 for painting a room, $150 to $300 is dedicated to paints, depending upon the color, type, and brand of your choice.

Type of Paints

Many people think that all paint is created equally, but that is far from the truth. There is a wide chasm between the cost of paint for different purposes, and as a result, each type of paint has its own unique set of pros and cons. You need to be aware of the factors that will determine the final cost of your paint job, so you can try to get the best value.

There are many different types, such as latex paints, oil-based enamels, water-based enamels (latex), lacquers, and varnishes. Whereas other factors like size and quantity also play a role in determining the total.

Gallons of Paint You Need

The amount of paint required for interior painting depends on the room size and the surface area to be painted. It can also depend on the type of paint and any special requirements that have been specified. For example, when painting a room with furniture, you may need to buy more paint than if you were painting a room with all hard surfaces.

The first step is to work out how much square footage will need to be painted. To do this we calculate the room size by multiplying the length x width in feet or meters. For example, if you want to paint a room with 9ft height, 15ft length, and 12ft height, do

9ft x 15ft = 135 sq ft. and for two walls 135×2 = 270sq ft.

9ft x 12ft = 108 sq ft. and for two walls 108×2 = 216sq ft.

Total area = 270+216 = 486 sq ft.(minus area covered by windows and doors)

for ceilings:

15ft x 12ft = 180sq ft.

Note: Don’t add an area of the ceiling with that of walls if you want to have a ceiling different color.

Calculate a total paintable area by subtracting the area covered by windows and doors from the total. Say, there is 6ft x 3ft window and 3ft x 7ft door and that’s 18sq ft + 21sqft = 39sq ft. Now total paintable area would be 486sq ft – 39sq ft = 447sq ft. If you want to paint windows and doors too, there is a different kind of dedicated paints available and that’s different price. Also, the same for trims.

Finally, now it’s time to calculate the number of paints needed. The calculation is based on the assumption that one gallon of paint covers approximately 400 square feet, but this ratio may vary depending on the quality and type of paint, which may lead to different results. So we do:

For Walls: 447/400 = 1.1175 = 2 gallons

For Ceiling: usually 1 gallon

For trims: 1 gallon

For windows and doors: 1 gallon

Estimated cost for paints: $100 – $150

Cost of Painting By Interior Surface

Ceiling

You may begin by finding out the square footage of your floor space. Once you have your square footage most painters charge anywhere from $0.75 – $2.00 per square foot to paint ceilings. $.75 per foot would be an easy 1 coat single-level home with no drywall repair. $2.00 per foot would be a difficult 2 story vaulted ceilings with a little drywall repair. Example- ( 1,500 sq ft home X $0.75 per square ft (average)= $1,125.00) this would include labor and materials.

Walls

The second line item “Walls”- walls will be done with the square footage as well. Most painters will charge $1.00- $2.00 per square foot on walls. $1.00 would be one coat, one color, and a one-story home. $2.00 would be 2 coats on everything, a 2 story home, drywall repairs, and multiple colors. Example- (1,500 sq ft home X $1.5.00 sq ft (average) = $2250 to paint all walls. This would include labor and materials.

Trims

The third line item is “Trim and Doors”- this is the hardest one to estimate there are so many variables. Condition of trim, how much trim, wainscot, crown molding, 2 doors or 46 doors. Is the trim already painted and needs a fresh coat? Or is your trim wood and needs to be primed and painted. So trim and doors can vary anywhere from $1 per linear foot.  $1.00 per square foot Craftsman home loaded with trim, priming, and painting everything. Example (1500 sq ft home(with 500 linear feet trim) X $1.00 to paint trim and doors (average) = $500.00 this would include labor and materials.

Factors Affecting The Cost

Size.

The more area there is to paint the more expensive it’ll be and the less there is the less expensive it is. It comes down to time, labor, and materials. Two-story areas need special equipment to reach, and if our team needs to get on ladders we pay them for the extra risk.

This also includes accessibility.

If it’s hard for us to get our equipment in and set up it’ll add to time and labor, which increases cost.

Project scope.

Different areas of your home’s interior, like kitchens vs bedrooms vs two-story foyers, can have different costs. It also depends on the amount. One room vs an entire interior has a different cost.

Color.

If you just want us to refresh the same color, that’s easy. Interior painting costs go up if you want us to paint over a stain or use a different color. It takes more materials and a slightly different process, adding to time and labor too.

Damages.

Sometimes we find damages that need fixing before or during a project. It’s mostly nicks and dings and nail holes, though sometimes we find water damage and wood rot. We like to fix them before we paint so your walls look better and the paint lasts longer.

Cracking or peeling paint counts as damage.

We need to scrape it off before we paint or it’ll lower the lifespan of the new paint. This increases time and labor and thus cost.

Paint quality.

We prefer higher quality paints because they look better for longer. This means you won’t have to spend money hiring painters to walk around your house as quickly. Lower quality paints are cheaper upfront.
