-
Higher ceilings typically require additional equipment, setup, and labor to safely reach and paint the surfaces. Two-story foyers, vaulted ceilings, and other hard-to-reach areas can increase the overall cost.
-
The layout of your home can have a big impact on how efficiently a project can be completed. Open floor plans are generally quicker to paint, while homes with many rooms, hallways, closets, stairways, and smaller spaces require more setup and cutting-in.
-
The type and condition of your trim can affect both preparation and painting time. Wood, previously painted trim, stained trim, and other materials may require different preparation or primers to achieve a smooth, durable finish.
-
The amount of preparation needed before painting can significantly impact the price. Patching holes, repairing drywall, sanding, removing wallpaper, fixing cracks, and addressing damaged surfaces all require additional labor before paint can be applied.
-
Furniture that needs to be moved or protected can add time to the project. We ask customers to move smaller and fragile items before we arrive, while larger furniture can typically be moved and covered as part of the project when needed.
-
Large color changes can require additional coats to achieve an even, consistent finish. Deep colors, bright whites, and significant changes from the existing color may require additional paint or primer depending on the surface.
