Ensuring your home’s exterior looks freshly painted is possible with a bit of maintenance work. Keep the exterior clean with an annual power washing, regularly prune landscaping trees or shrubbery that could scratch or scrape the exterior, and touch up any damaged areas immediately. Avoid clogged gutters and downspouts as the overflow of water can damage a home’s exterior.
Accordingly, the average cost to paint a kitchen falls between $360 – $740. Indeed, the average cost to paint a kitchen is quite reasonable when compared to other rooms in a house, condo, or apartment.

As stated before, the price of your painting project will depend significantly on the level of experience of the painter you will hire. However other factors come into play, such as the need to move furniture and repair walls, or the ceiling height. Some contractors charge by the hour, while others go with a flat rate or set the price depending on the size of the rooms.

As for actually using the sprayer, the main thing to remember is to not overcoat with paint. Two or three quick passes will minimize drippage as opposed to trying to get a full coat on all at once. (Which I learned the hard way. The first room I painted was so drippy droppy, we had to do some extra sanding once it dried. I felt so bad!) Only by actually using the sprayer will you get a method down. By the time I was done with the sprayer, I felt like a pro and actually had fun painting!
Then on the day that painting started, I met 2 wonderful gentlemen who also walked my property and verified what was to be painted. The were very professional, respectful and provided the highest level of customer service. My house has now been painted snd looks wonderful.
Call us biased, but we think old homes deserve a little respect when it comes to choosing paint colors for both the interiors and exterior. This is not to say that you must stick with that avocado green in your vintage bathroom. But we do think that older homes retain more of their character and charm when colors in keeping with the home’s era are used.
Lastly, if you do not have heavier equipment like ladders or extension poles, you should add $125 – $450 to the paint material costs above.
Most painters give you the option to buy your own paint supplies. However, they will also offer their rate, including supplies, if you’d rather them get them. The biggest advantage of buying your own paint is controlling the brand and price point you want. However, when painters get it for you, they often apply their contractor discount, which can benefit you. Plus, it takes all the load off your shoulders.
Another great tutorial. You guys really put out some great and helpful posts. I was especially happy to see that you kept the popcorn ceiling! I feel like there is so much pressure to get rid of your popcorn ceiling if you have it, but it is so expensive especially if you have asbestos. It is really such a minor thing I don’t think it should get as much flak as it does. Besides, I am convinced if I wait long enough, the popcorn ceilings will make a comeback;)
A professional interior painting contractor should be willing to provide a breakdown of your costs so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. They’ll also be able to advise you on ways to reduce your costs. For example: Instead of making a dramatic color change, a single coat of the same or similar color can give you a fresh, polished look for less. You may avoid the need for primer, which is an additional expense. If you want to paint one wall of a room for a punch of color, choosing the wall with the most windows and doors can save you money, as you’re painting less wall space. Re-evaluate the need to paint trim. You might still get the effect you want without it. If you’ve fallen in love with a color from a “designer” brand of paint, consider a less expensive option. You’re likely to get a close or even perfect match. If your walls need repairs, consider making them yourself.
We’re currently flipping a house from the late 60s. We stripped popcorn ceilings ourselves in the entire house, re-textured every ceiling and wall, replaced all of the trim, and repainted every surface. We painted the ceilings with a roller extension- it was by far my least favorite part of renovations so far- so much easier if you do it before flooring is in though! I can’t wait to see more posts on the house! Such a neat project! Emily @ Life on Food February 25, 2015
