Painting Price Guide
Home Painting Price Guide
Thinking about giving your home a fresh coat of paint usually leads to one big question: what will it actually cost? While no two houses or projects are exactly alike, having a ballpark idea before scheduling an estimate can make planning a lot easier. Working with professional house painters also means factoring in their expertise, the quality of materials they use, and the level of prep work involved – all of which play a key role in the final price and the long-term results.
Small Backyard Deck (Approx. 10×10)
For a smaller all-wood deck featuring wood railings, the project remains fairly affordable, depending on the wood condition and product selection. Once cleaned and properly prepared, a high-quality protective stain or sealer is applied to both the deck boards and railing components typically costs between $900 and $1,800.
Standard Backyard Deck (Approx. 12×16)
For a straightforward deck with a single level and simple railing design, costs remain fairly accessible. After pressure washing and prep, applying a protective stain or paint coating usually falls between $1,800 and $2,800.
Expansive Multi-Level Deck System
Large or tiered decks with extensive railing and stair sections require additional time, materials, and attention to detail. Because of the complexity, pricing for these projects typically lands in the $2,500 to $5,000 range.
Aluminum Exterior Refinish
Aluminum-sided homes are relatively low-maintenance but still benefit from proper cleaning, caulking, and a professional spray application for an even finish. The streamlined process keeps costs moderate, typically ranging from $4,500 to $7,750.
Cedar-Clad Home Makeover
Cedar-sided houses need thorough washing, sealing, and significant caulking before painting or staining. We use trusted, well-known brands and products to create quality finishes with stain or paint, ensuring lasting beauty, durability, and protection. Because of the extra prep involved, these homes usually cost between $9,000 and $15,000 to complete.
Wood-Clad Heritage Home Exterior
Historic houses with wood siding often need significant prep work, including scraping loose paint/stain, caulking. These homes frequently feature multiple paint colors and decorative trim, which adds to the labor and material requirements. Projects of this scope generally run from $12,000 to $18,000.
Detailed Historic Estate Exterior
Larger, more elaborate homes, found in Cleveland and its’ east and west side suburbs, require additional time for fine detail work. Trim painting, and complex color schemes with additional preparation and higher paint volumes also increase costs, with typical projects falling between $19,000 and $26,000 or more.
Compact Bedroom Retreat (Approx. 11×11)
Bedrooms are typically quicker and more straightforward projects, though finish level and paint quality can impact final cost. A standard wall repaint generally falls in the $1000 to $1200 range, while including trim, doors, and ceilings could bring the total up to around $1,800.
Modern Family Room (Approx. 16×14)
Main living areas often include more windows, trim, and detailed edges, which can extend project time. Painting just the walls averages around $1,500 to $1,700, while adding ceiling and trim work increases the total closer to $2,500.
Refinishing a Two-Story Entryway
Grand foyers with tall ceilings and staircases take extra time and care to complete. Accessing high areas often requires specialized ladders or scaffolding, and the added square footage means more prep, painting, and cleanup. Because of these factors, refreshing an entryway of this size typically costs between $3,500 and $7,500.
Full Kitchen Refresh
Kitchens involve more surface types than almost any other room, from walls and ceilings to trim, window frames, and sometimes accent features. Because of the complexity and the need for durable, easy-to-clean finishes, a complete kitchen repaint usually ranges from $2,500 to $5,000.
Cabinet Painting & Restoration
The cost to paint cabinets depends on surface prep and type, if the cabinets are currently stained, and what priming and sanding needs are required, total number of pieces, and the final finish. Larger kitchens with more doors and drawers require more labor and materials. Expect pricing between $100 and $200 per door and drawer for a smooth, durable finish.
