Interior cost examples at $1 per sq ft
The math is simple: square feet × $1. These examples use only that rate. Your final square footage is confirmed at the free estimate.
| Square feet painted | Calculation | Interior price |
|---|---|---|
| 500 (minimum) | 500 × $1 | $500 |
| 1,000 | 1,000 × $1 | $1,000 |
| 1,500 | 1,500 × $1 | $1,500 |
| 2,000 | 2,000 × $1 | $2,000 |
| 2,500 | 2,500 × $1 | $2,500 |
| 3,000 | 3,000 × $1 | $3,000 |
Because of the 500 sq ft minimum, a smaller job is priced at $500. Ceilings, trim, doors, and cabinets are not part of the $1 per sq ft rate unless your written estimate says so.
Exterior house painting from $1,299
Exterior painting starts from $1,299. It is not priced at the interior $1 per sq ft rate. Size, number of stories, surface condition, and how much prep is needed all move the final price, so we look at the house in person first. See our exterior painting and interior painting pages for details.
What affects the price of a painting project
- Square footage. Interior price scales directly with the square feet painted.
- Scope. Walls only, or walls plus ceilings, trim, doors, or cabinets. Extras are quoted separately.
- Surface condition. Nail pops, cracks, texture repair, or water damage need prep before paint.
- Ceilings. Popcorn ceiling removal and retexture are separate from the wall rate.
- Exterior size and height. Single- versus two-story homes, siding type, and sun-faded surfaces affect exterior pricing.
- HOA rules. Many Allen and DFW neighborhoods require approved exterior colors. Bring your guidelines and we will stay inside them.
