Interior Painting Pricing Guide

1. What are your goals for the property?

• Painting before move-in, to sell, rental turnover, repair walls/ceiling, color change? 

• Going for perfection? 

• Whitewash or decorative finishes? 

• Timeline?

2. Furnished or Empty Property?

• Furnished = more time moving, covering, protecting

• Empty = cover the floor and get to work

3. Prep/Repair before painting

• Assess surface condition and what bothers you. Mismatched textures, paint drips, splotchy

• Holes, cracks, peeling paint, flaking paint, etc.

• Skim coating, drywall repair, or plaster repair 

• The more time needed to repair and prep surfaces, the more it can add to the project cost.

4. Molding and Trim

• Crown molding, baseboards, wall molding, chair rail, picture rail 

• Moldings/trim to be a different color? 

• What kind of finish – matte, gloss, sheen, eggshell, other?

• Intricate moldings/trim requires advanced skills

5. Paint color and finish/sheen

• Darker colors typically require more coats.

• Painting white to black or black to white needs more coats and increases labor cost

• The number of colors. Different colors for separate spaces takes time, changing rollers, brushes, paint pans, etc. 

• Shiny paint finishes can require more coats and more prep work. Satin, semi-gloss and high gloss show imperfections more than other styles.
  
  

6. Building insurance and working hours

• Most NYC residential/commercial building working hours are typically between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. 

• Restrictive working hours can affect the price.

• The process of going in/out of the building, waiting for the service elevator, covering the hallway, etc., adds more time.

• Insurance requirements can impact the painting price.
