How Much Does It Cost To Paint the Interior of a House in Bend, OR?

As important as it is to research your painter’s credentials, reputation, and experience, we know that it all comes down to price for many homeowners. We get it! Budgeting is a big deal.

It’s also a big deal that you understand how your painter arrived at the quote they shared. We can’t overemphasize just how important it is to get a precise, detailed estimate that breaks down the cost of your project.

Have you got a napkin quote? Run! Do you have a fuzzy quote the painter doesn’t want to clarify? Run.

Today, let’s dive into the cost of an interior paint job. As a fair warning, however, this is like asking, “How much does a car cost?” Well, you could buy a $2,000,000 Ferrari or a $200 beauty off the side of the road with beaded seat covers and a questionable past. Both are cars, but each is vastly different from the other.

We’ll share general figures and what goes into those prices for our purposes. For further questions or to get an accurate estimate for YOUR Central Oregon home, call our Seriously Great team!

What Impacts the Cost of Interior Painting?

Here’s a look at what shapes your price point:

• Just walls? Roughly $4-6,000 total.
• Walls and ceilings, with just one color? $5-7,000.
• Walls and ceilings, with separate colors? $6-10,000.
• Add trim and doors? This will double your project size. Why, you may ask? Trim might not look like a lot of space to cover compared to a wall, but it takes much more time to paint than it does to roll a wall. It’s more intricate and still requires the same prep and care (even more, in many cases!).
• If you’d like to paint all the walls and ceilings a separate color and include trim and doors, the total will be roughly $12-20,000.

Here’s another crucial factor to consider that impacts price: the size and quality of the company. A painter that is licensed, insured, and hires their employees (rather than sub-contractors) will naturally be more expensive. There’s overhead, salaries, benefits, vehicles, insurance coverage, maintenance, etc.

But, with that higher price point comes more consistency, accountability, quality, and warranties. Plus, that all-important peace of mind.
