No two homes are the same, and no two projects are either. Maybe it's a living room that hasn't been touched since you moved in, kitchen cabinets that deserve better than another coat over the old finish, an exterior weathered by another Cleveland winter, or a deck ready to look like itself again.

No two homes are the same, and no two projects are either.

Interior Painting

Standard Bedroom, $1,000 – $1,700

Standard Bedroom

Approx. 11×11
$1,000 – $1,700 *

Bedrooms are generally straightforward, though the cost varies based on the level of finish you desire. A standard refresh of just the walls typically costs between $1,000 and $1,200. If you wish to include the ceiling, doors, and baseboards/trim, the price will be closer to the $1,800 mark.

Family & Living Room, $1,600 – $2,600

Family & Living Room

Approx. 16×14
$1,600 – $2,600 *

Main living spaces usually feature more windows, crown molding, or complex edges that require precise "cutting in." Painting the walls alone usually averages $1,600 to $1,800. A comprehensive update including the ceiling and all trim work will bring the project total to around $2,600.

Two-Story Entryway, $3,600 – $7,600

Two-Story Entryway

sq ft varies
$3,600 – $7,600 *

Grand foyers with soaring ceilings and stairwells require specialized equipment, such as scaffolding or tall ladders, to access safely. The increased wall surface area and difficulty of access mean more time is needed for prep, painting, and clean-up can contribute to higher pricing up to $7,600.

Full Kitchen Repaint, $2,600 – $5,500

Full Kitchen Repaint

Approx. 11×11
$2,600 – $5,500 *

Kitchens are complex workspaces involving walls, ceilings, window frames, and trim, often interrupted by cabinetry and appliances. We use solid, washable finishes essential for cooking environments. Due to the intricacy and need for high-performance paint, a full kitchen refresh typically falls in this range.

Cabinet Refinishing, $100 – $200

Cabinet Refinishing

per door/drawer
$100 – $200 *

Painting cabinets is a specialized skill that can transform a kitchen. The cost is calculated based on the number of pieces (doors and drawers), the current condition (stained vs. Expect to pay within this range per piece for a solid, furniture-grade finish.

Exterior Painting

Aluminum Siding Refinish, $4,000 – $8,000

Aluminum Siding Refinish

$4,000 – $8,000 *

Aluminum siding is solid, but it fades over time. Because aluminum provides a smooth canvas, the process is streamlined, keeping costs reasonable.

Cedar-Sided Homes, $8,000 – $14,000

Cedar-Sided Homes

$8,000 – $14,000 *

Cedar homes require specialized care to maintain their beauty. Due to the heavy preparation required to protect the wood properly, these projects sit in a higher price bracket.

Heritage Wood Exteriors

$11,000 – $17,000 *

Historic homes with original wood siding often require restoration-level preparation. These homes often feature multi-color schemes and detailed trim work, which increases both labor and material costs.

Large Estate & Detailed Historic Homes

$18,000 – $25,000+ *

For expansive or elaborate homes found throughout Cleveland and its suburbs, the cost reflects the sheer volume of detail work. These projects often involve intricate trim painting, complex color palettes, and significant surface area. The price covers the additional time, paint volume, and fine-detail labor required to achieve a smooth finish.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine the price of a painting job?

We look at the "Whole Picture." While square footage matters, the biggest factors are surface condition and complexity. A home with peeling paint or intricate trim requires significantly more labor than a home with smooth, prepped walls. The quality of the paint product selected also impacts the final price.

What do I need to do to prepare my home before you start?

For interiors, we ask that you remove small breakables, wall hangings, and electronics.

Is it cheaper to DIY or hire a professional?

DIY often appears cheaper upfront, but hidden costs add up, brushes, rollers, ladders, drop cloths, and paint are expensive. Furthermore, DIY lacks the efficiency and performance of a professional application.

How much does it generally cost to paint a house?

There is no "one size fits all" answer. A small interior job differs vastly from a full exterior restoration . However, most professional paint projects are an investment of several thousand dollars. The best way to get an accurate number is to send us photos and a description of the job where we can assess your home’s specific needs.

How long does a typical painting project take?

The timeline varies based on the scope of the project and, for exteriors, the weather.
