How much does interior painting cost?

Understanding Interior Painting Costs

When planning an interior painting project, understanding the cost factors helps you budget effectively and avoid surprises. Professional painting services in the Cumming, GA area typically charge based on square footage, room complexity, and the condition of your walls.

Key Cost Drivers

• Prep work: Patching holes, repairing cracks, sanding rough areas, and priming surfaces — prep can account for 30-50% of total labor time
• Paint quality and sheen: Premium paints cost more upfront but offer better coverage, durability, and easier cleaning
• Trim, cabinetry, and details: Door frames, baseboards, crown molding, and ceiling work require precision and add to total cost
• Access and logistics: High ceilings, furniture moving, and difficult-to-reach areas increase labor time

Local Price Ranges

For a standard 12×12 room in Cumming, GA, expect to pay:

• Basic refresh (one coat, minimal prep): $300–$500
• Standard job (two coats, moderate prep): $500–$800
