Interior & Exterior Painting Pricing
Planning a painting project should not start with guesswork.
Every home and project is different. These ranges are intended as planning guidelines. Final pricing depends on preparation, surface condition, access, ceiling height, number of coats, finish selection and the exact scope of work.
Interior painting
Interior Painting Pricing
Typical Range$2.50-$4.50+ /sq.ft.
Interior painting costs vary depending on much more than the size of the room. Wall condition, preparation, ceiling height, colour changes, trim, doors and the number of coats can all affect the final price.
What Can Affect the Price?
- Wall condition
- Patching and sanding
- Ceiling height
- Number of coats
- Dark-to-light colour changes
- Ceilings
- Trim and baseboards
- Doors
- Furniture and access
- Paint and finish selection
Exterior painting
Exterior Painting Pricing
Typical Range$3.00-$6.00+ /sq.ft.
Exterior painting pricing depends heavily on the condition and accessibility of the surfaces. Preparation can make a significant difference in the amount of labour required before painting even begins.
What Can Affect Exterior Pricing?
- Surface type
- Peeling or failing coatings
- Scraping and sanding
- Caulking
- Surface repairs
- Priming
- Height and access
- Number of colours
- Doors and trim
- Overall condition of the existing finish
Why scope matters
Same Square Footage. Different Project.
- Extensive drywall repairs
- High or vaulted ceilings
- Heavy sanding
- Significant colour changes
- Detailed trim work
The square footage may be identical. The amount of work is not.
That is why Evergreen Painting provides pricing guidance online while confirming the final price after reviewing the actual project.

Helpful answers
Painting Pricing FAQs
Are the prices on this page guaranteed?
No. The ranges are intended as planning guidelines. Your final written estimate is based on the condition, preparation requirements and complete scope of your project.
Why does preparation affect painting prices?
The quality of the finished paintwork depends heavily on the condition of the surface underneath it. Patching, sanding, repairs and priming can add significant labour before painting begins.
Can two homes with the same square footage cost different amounts to paint?
Yes. Ceiling height, surface condition, repairs, trim, access, colour changes and the number of coats can make two similarly sized homes very different projects.
