How Much Does Interior Painting Cost?
Professional interior painting costs $2–6 per square foot of wall area, or roughly $300–800 per room. A full interior paint job for a 3-bedroom home typically runs $2,500–$6,000 depending on paint quality, prep work, and ceiling/trim inclusion.
Cost Factors
- Paint quality — Builder grade costs $20–30/gallon. Premium paint like Benjamin Moore Regal runs $50–70/gallon but covers better and lasts longer.
- Prep work — Clean walls need little prep. Damaged or textured walls, or wallpaper removal, can add $1–3 per square foot.
- Ceilings — Painting ceilings adds 30–40% to the cost. They require different paint and more drop cloth coverage.
- Trim and baseboards — Trim painting costs $1–3 per linear foot. A full room of trim adds $100–200.
