A new coat of paint can go a long way to update and refresh your home. While painting is something that many homeowners can do themselves, you may choose to hire a professional instead.
According to Angi and Home Advisor, you can generally expect to pay between $967 and $3,076 to have the interior of your house painted, with the average homeowner spending $2,014. It costs an average of $2 to $6 per square foot, depending on if walls, trim and ceilings are included in the project.
An exterior paint job costs more, ranging from $1,819 to $4,551 with an average cost of $3,178. An additional story adds to labor costs, and the type of siding can make a big difference in price.
