Painting, Explained Simply
A simple guide to refreshing your home, inside and out.
If a fresh coat of paint feels like it should be simple but somehow never gets started, you are not alone - between prep work and color decisions, it is easy to put off. This guide breaks down who this is for, what it costs, and what to expect from the process.
Who Is Eligible for This Service?
Painting services tend to be worth exploring if any of the following sound like you:
- Your walls or trim are looking worn, faded, or dated
- Your home's exterior paint is peeling, chalking, or hasn't been done in years
- You're updating cabinets or trim without a full remodel
- You want a professional finish without the time and mess of doing it yourself
Whether it is one room or the whole exterior, the goal is the same: a clean, lasting finish.
How Much Does It Cost?
Cost depends on the size and condition of the space, but here is a general sense of what affects the price.
Interior vs. Exterior
Exterior painting typically costs more than interior work, given the surface area, equipment, and weather considerations involved.
Surface Condition & Prep
Surfaces that need more cleaning, sanding, or patching before painting take more time, which affects the overall cost.
