Kim K. says, "Lakeview Paintworks was one of 7 companies that came put and bid on my homes small job. We previously, hired someone else (none painters but excellent tree trimers) who told us they could do some of the home maintenance work we needed. Unfortunately, they were not as amazing at the maintenance stuff as they were the trees which caused us to turn here to get bids from true painters. Our bids ranged from 900 - 3,500, with painters wanting to power wash, resand, fully caulk, prime, and paint the small amount of wood soffit, facia, and window/door trim we have. Also with the bids I had companies range from taking 10-35 minutes to look at the home and nearly every single one tried to play the sale game by asking so, how much have you budgeted for the work. Having been in sales my entire life I see through the tactics and it’s a sure way to not win my business. Here’s where Lakeview Paintworks comes in… Juan arrived on time for the bid ✅. He was friendly, kind, and didn’t pull any punches. ✅ We walked around my little less than 1500 fsf home, in about 4-5 minutes with him asking and answering questions about the job. He noted things I had not even thought of and made suggestions. When we got back to the drive way he said something along the line … ‘… no offense but I don’t need to wait to give you a bid. Your job is not very big and we can do it for X.’ ✅ He was music to my ears not only was the pricing fair for the work to be done but also there just was no freak’n BS. I grew up with multiple family members being professional painters so I know enough to have some idea of the scope of our work as it translates to things needing to be done, time tables, and rough fair cost range. We parted ways shaking hands, me letting him know I’ll be following up after we receive all the bids. It took me 3 days to get the bids, when reviewing them with my partner he instantly asked why we were not just going with Juan’s. He was not the cheapest (that guy was an organization nightmare and really concerned me that attention to detail was not going to be had) but was the most pragmatic & reasonable for scope of work and pricing. So we went with Lakeview Paintworks and are supper happy that we did. Our bid, the contract, and even payment was all through a painting app that streamlined the process as well as allowed if we had wished or needed to finance the project. Which we are keeping in mind for when we are better positioned to have our stucco painted. Weather did delay the work to be done however Juan kept in constant contact. The day of the work his crew showed up several minutes early which made me incredibly happy. They were polite, incredibly hardworking, asked questions if they had any, were supper clean, taped my cream stucco so the blue paint did not get on it and worked 12+ hours that day. The next day Juan came out to check the work. It was pouring outside. In a text message I asked about how I might remove some drops of paint that happened on my front step. In the pouring rain not only did he use a wire brush to clean it off, he also, grabbed a roll of type he noticed on his own that was accidentally left on the roof, as well as a small little bit of tape that was on the corner of my house. Both something my partner pointed out that morning but I didn’t have the heart to bring up because it was pouring outside and I knew we could remove both ourselves when it was sunny. The rain didn’t stop Juan from seeing what needed to be done on his own and doing it. He later messaged letting me know he noticed some spots that needed touch up and that he would be back to do them when it was not raining. These guys have blown me away in their work ethic and truly delivering high quality work they are hired to do. Not only are we blown away but our neighbors have been commenting too on how great of a job they did and how hard they worked. I firmly believe these guys are the ones you want painting your home! Do not think twice about hiring them… they are amazing!"See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much do painters cost?

The national average cost to hire an interior painter ranges between $200-$2,700. Interior painters can tackle everything from complete color makeovers in each of your rooms to touching up an accent wall to painting pieces of furniture. The square footage and complexity of the project, along with the materials needed, are the main factors that will affect cost. Other factors include whether you supply the paint yourself or want the painter to do so, whether you move the furniture and do the prep work or ask them to do it, and whether any repair work is needed on the walls.

Painting the ceiling and the trim will also have an effect on cost. The type of paint you choose can also raise or lower your house painting cost. A gallon of paint may range from $20 to over $100, depending on quality and brand. Ask your painter if they charge per hour or per square foot, and how much you can save by doing prep work (moving furniture, etc.) yourself.

How much should interior painting cost per square foot?

You can expect a 12x12-foot average room with 8-foot ceilings to cost $100 to paint, while a 16x16-foot room with 9-foot ceilings could cost around $175. 

To calculate the cost of interior painting per square foot, measure the square footage of wall space and ceiling space of your room. From this, you can estimate the number of gallons of paint needed to cover the wall space and compare it to these figures. You can also ask interior painters near you to provide an estimate before you hire them.

How much does it cost to paint the interior of a house?

Interior house painting costs are calculated on a few key factors. Nationally, interior house painting projects range from $917 (for one room) to $4,893 (for eight rooms). The wide price range indicates how much square footage, paint selection and labor can affect cost. One pro uses a laser to measure each room, subtracting the size of the doors and windows, and then bases the quote on the square footage of the actual surfaces to be painted.

Painters may provide you with savings if you opt to paint your entire home rather than just having one room or an accent wall painted. For example, the average house painting cost for an 8x12 room with 8-foot ceilings is roughly $200, when contractor-grade paint is used. Painting ceilings, baseboards and frames can also affect cost. Pros may charge per linear foot to smooth and paint baseboards.

In one area, pros might charge 50 cents per linear foot to paint baseboards, while pros in another part of the country could charge $1.50 per linear foot for the same task. Painters may charge flat rates for painting door and window frames, with one charging $20-$25 and another $60 per door. Geography and regional costs to do business play a major role in the cost of interior painting. The same painter in a rural region has less to pay in taxes, transportation, insurance and overhead than they would in a major city like New York.

How much does it cost to get the outside of your house painted?

You can expect to pay around $2,535 to get the outside of your house painted, though this cost will increase with larger house sizes (and decrease with smaller ones). The average hourly rate for exterior painters is $45 and ranges from $25-$75.

Wood, brick, stucco, vinyl, aluminum and stone each have their own set of demands. Contact exterior painters near you to get a detailed cost estimate for your house.

How much do interior painters charge per hour?

You can expect to pay $50 per hour for interior painting. This price will change depending on a number of factors and may range between $30 and $160 per hour. Some factors include the height of the rooms, the complexity of the painting and more.

For an accurate cost estimate, request quotes from local painters and contractors.

How many coats of paint does the exterior of a house need?

Your house’s exterior will likely need two coats of paint. With two coats, your house will look more even and solid in color and will be better protected from moisture and the elements. The painting should always occur over a primed and well-prepared surface.

Do you tip painters?

Yes, it’s best practice to tip house painters if you’re pleased with their work. Painters perform detailed, skilled work that can last for many years, if not decades. 

Tipping house painters is good etiquette. You can base the tip on the size of the crew, and request the amount to be evenly divided. Or, you can leave a tip based on the size of the job and leave it up to the foreman to decide how it is distributed among the crew. Sometimes — especially with big projects — the painters on the job change during the course of the project, so it’s often customary to leave one tip for the whole job.

How much value does painting add to a house?

Due to a lack of data available, it’s hard to say whether painting your home’s interior or exterior will increase its value. But there are some important things to keep in mind. 

If you're thinking about selling your home, you might want to repaint areas that look especially worn, dull or chipped so your house looks fresh and new to potential buyers. On the other hand, it’s possible some potential buyers will repaint the home upon moving in. So if you have a limited budget, your money (and time) might be better invested in other types of home projects, such as remodeling your bathroom or kitchen, installing new floors or fixing broken appliances

When in doubt, check with your realtor before making a final decision.

What should I expect from a painting contractor?

You should expect an estimate based on an actual examination of the house, as well as a plan for exactly what the painter will do. During the job, the painters should behave professionally while working as efficiently as possible to complete the job in a reasonable timeframe. Afterward, the only evidence of the paint job should be the paint itself — a professional contractor will clean up thoroughly once a job is done.

How long does it take to paint a room?

The length of time it takes to paint a room varies, depending on a couple of factors. For example, the size of the job makes a difference. With a small bedroom, or with only a wall or two that have to be painted, the job can be done in half a day. Larger jobs take longer.

Also, if there are several different colors being used, the job may take longer, as one may have to dry before the other is applied. A 12-by-12 room with one color may take a morning. With multiple colors, the job may stretch into the afternoon.

Before you hire an interior painter near you, ask them how long it will take to paint the room(s) in your home.
