Is your home ready for a new look? Whether you are painting a single room or painting the entire exterior of your house, new paint can transform the look of your home, increase curb appeal, and make the interior feel warm and inviting.

But how much will it cost to achieve the look you want? That depends. Many factors influence the cost of a new paint job, including how much work needs to be done, how large your home is, and more. Here’s what the paint crew will consider when they give you an estimate.

How Do Painters Determine Costs?

The cost of having your home professionally painted can vary based on a number of factors. Your estimate will take each of these factors into consideration so you understand exactly what the paint crew will do and how the project is priced. Price estimates may be affected by:

Size of House

The size of your home (or the size of the area being painted) serves as a starting point for evaluating costs. It’s important to remember, however, that other factors may cause similar homes to be priced differently.

Amount of Prep Work Needed

Before the walls can be painted, they must be cleaned and primed to create smooth, even surfaces. The paint crew may also need to sand the walls, fill in nail holes or cracks, and spackle. Extensive prep work needs will be reflected in the pricing estimate.

Architectural Details

Beautiful crown molding, scroll work, and building details add charm and elegance to your home, but they also create many small angles and corners that require extra attention during the painting process.

Repairs

In addition to standard prep work, some homes have damaged drywall or wood rot that needs to be repaired before painting. In the initial assessment, the paint crew should identify these areas and include repair work in the estimate.

Accessibility

If your home has shrubs or trees close to the walls or a part of the home that is difficult to get to, the painters will need to take additional time to ensure safe access and protection of landscaping elements.

Number of Coats

If you are moving from a dark color to a light color, your home may require more coats of paint than if you are moving from light to dark. CorsPaint will always ensure that the finished walls show smooth, rich color you’ll be proud of.

Why Hire a Professional?

All of these factors contribute significantly to how well your paint job turns out. If any of them are done incorrectly, you may be disappointed in how your home looks. Hiring a professional painter to do the work benefits you in several ways:

Painting Experience
