How much does it cost to paint a house? The average cost of interior painting runs about $1.50 per square foot for walls only, climbing to $3.50 per square foot when you include ceilings, trim, and doors. A whole-home interior repaint typically lands between $3,500 and $7,500 for a 1,500 to 2,000 sq ft home, while exterior painting averages $2,800 to $7,500 depending on stories, siding type, and prep work. Cabinet refinishing usually costs $2,400 to $4,800 for a full kitchen and saves 60 to 80% versus replacement. Online paint estimators get you within 15 to 20% of a final quote by using standard per-square-foot rates, project type, and surface details. For a guaranteed price, book a free in-home consultation so a project manager can verify ceiling height, prep needs, paint quality, and color change requirements before locking in a contract.

Clarity Backed by Expertise

  • A complete estimate covers labor, all materials (paint, primer, caulk, tape, drop cloths), surface prep (sanding, patching, priming), application, daily cleanup, and warranty coverage. Patriam backs every job with a 3-year workmanship warranty. Be cautious of quotes that seem unusually low, they usually skip prep, use builder-grade paint, or apply only one coat.


  • Not for the instant online estimate. For an in-home professional quote, we ask that an adult decision-maker be present so the project manager can walk the space, confirm scope, and answer color and product questions. Most in-home estimates take 30-45 minutes and you'll receive a written quote within 24 hours.

  • A whole-home interior repaint of a 2,000 sq ft house averages $4,500 to $7,500 for walls only, and $7,500 to $12,000 if you include ceilings, trim, and doors. Pricing depends on ceiling height, color changes, prep work, and whether the home is furnished. Furnished homes add 10-15% for masking and protection.

  • Exterior painting runs $2,800 to $4,500 for a typical single-story home and $4,200 to $7,500 for a two-story. Stucco, brick, and rough cedar add 25-50% because they need more product. Quotes should always include power washing, caulking, minor wood repair, and a primer pass on raw or repaired surfaces.

  • Cabinet painting averages $100 to $150 per door and drawer face, putting most full kitchen repaints between $2,400 and $4,800. The price covers degreasing, sanding, priming, spraying or brushing, and reassembly. Soft-close hinge upgrades and new hardware are common add-ons. Cabinet refinishing saves 60-80% versus full replacement.

  • Yes. Patriam offers flexible financing options for qualifying projects, including 0% interest promotional plans for approved customers. Ask your project manager during your free in-home consultation and we'll match you with a financing option that fits your budget and project size.
