What actually drives your price
- Square footage and number of rooms
- Condition of walls, siding and trim
- Ceiling height and number of stories
- How much prep, scraping and repair is needed
- Trim, doors, windows and railings
- Number of coats and color changes
- Paint grade and sheen
- Access, staging and scheduling
Interior vs. exterior
Interior pricing is driven by cut-in work: trim, doors, closets, ceilings and patching. Exterior pricing is driven by condition — scraping peeling clapboard, replacing failed caulk and spot priming bare wood takes far longer than rolling sound siding. On coastal streets in Scituate or Cohasset, that prep is most of the job.
How to compare painting quotes fairly
Ask each painter to put the prep in writing: washing, scraping, sanding, caulking, crack repair, priming, masking, coats and product line. A cheaper number almost always means fewer of those steps — and a finish that fails years earlier.
Common questions
How much does it cost to paint a house in Weymouth, MA?
Most full interior repaints on the South Shore land between roughly $3,000 and $9,000 depending on size, prep and trim, while full exterior repaints commonly run about $4,500 to $14,000. Condition of the surfaces is usually the biggest cost driver, not the paint itself.
How much does it cost to paint one room?
A standard 12x12 bedroom with walls, ceiling and trim typically runs about $450 to $900 in this area. Rooms with high ceilings, heavy patching or lots of doors and windows cost more because of prep and cut-in time.
What is the cost per square foot to paint a house?
Interior painting is often quoted around $2 to $5 per square foot of floor area, and exterior painting around $2 to $5 per square foot of siding, depending on prep, number of stories and coating quality.
How much does it cost to paint kitchen cabinets?
Cabinet refinishing usually runs about $2,000 to $6,000 for an average kitchen, depending on door count, whether boxes are included, and whether we spray on site or off site.
Why do painting quotes vary so much?
Two quotes can differ by thousands because of what is included: washing, scraping, sanding, caulking, crack repair, priming, masking, number of coats and paint grade. Ask every painter to list prep steps and coats in writing.
