What are the House Painters Prices in Jacksonville FL?

Painting prices vary greatly depending on a number of factors: the type of painting that is being done, the materials being used, the current condition of the surfaces being painted, how many coats are needed, etc. However, it is possible to know how much it would roughly cost to paint a house.

This is a rough outline of what to expect for interior and exterior house painting prices. This post talks about costs for repaints only, and does not reflect pricing for new construction homes.

I’m going to give some cost estimates and examples for interior painting, exterior painting, and deck & fence staining.

These are rough estimates to give you a ball park figure and are meant to be a guide. If you are looking to hire a painting company, one of the best ways to make sure you are getting a good price is to get multiple estimates from local painters through a service like Porch.

Now let’s get into some ball park prices.

Interior Painting Price Estimates

What's being painted	Cost per square foot
Walls only	$1.75 - $2.75
Walls, ceilings and trim	$3.00 - $4.00

Example: 2500 square foot home
Walls Only: $4,375-$6,875
Walls, Ceilings, and Trim: $7,500-$10,000

Considerations – What changes the price?

• How much damage there is to the walls? More damage raises the price for more prep time.
• How many different colors are being used? A room with an accent wall, different color ceiling, and different trim is a lot more work.
• If the carpets are being replaced, that will save money.
• Who moves the furniture and pictures on walls?
• If you are changing colors, what colors are you going with? If it’s a light color covering a dark color it can take extra coats.
• What type of paint are you using? Paint can range a lot in price depending on your selection.
• Is there a lot of detail work and cutting, or is it a really basic simple house with simple rooms? Simple is cheaper.
• Wallpaper removal costs extra.

Painting the whole interior is much more expensive than painting the whole exterior. There’s a lot more detail work and surface to paint on the interior.

Exterior Painting Price Estimates

Type of house	Estimated painting cost (Exterior)
One-story ranch	$2,000 - $5,000
Two-story	$2,700 - $6,500
Three-story	$3,600 - $8,500

Considerations – What changes the price?

• Prep work required. The condition of the home will determine the amount of prep time on the house.
• Materials being used. Paint can range from $20/gallon to over $60/gallon. This greatly impacts the price.
• How many coats are being painted? A 2-coat paint job will cost about 30%-60% more than a 1-coat paint job.
• Detail work. If a home has multiple colors, or a lot of detail work (like that found on Victorian style homes), that can raise the price considerably – even more than the estimates above.
• If the house was built pre-1978 it may fall under the EPA Lead Requirements. There are a lot of procedures that need to be followed for homes that contain lead paint. For these jobs, they can be 2x-4x more expensive because of the extra work and liability. Painting companies risk a $32,000 per day fine if any procedures are violated.

Deck and Fence Staining Cost Estimates

What's being painted	Cost per square foot
6 Foot Stained Fence	$1.50 - $4.00
Deck Surface	$1.00 - $2.00
Deck Railings	$8.00 - $12.00

Considerations – What changes the price?

• Type of stain being used. Stain can range greatly in price and impacts the total price significantly.
• Condition of the deck or fence. If the deck/fence has not been stained in a long time, it will soak up more stain and require more materials and more time.
• Power sanding. If the deck/fence requires power sanding, that will raise the price 1.5x-3x. Power sanding is needed to switch from solid stain to a semi-transparent stain, or if the deck is in terrible condition.
• Damage adds more time, including hail damage or dog clawing on the deck or anything else that is beyond simple weathered damage.
