Painters
Painting contractors handle prep, priming, and finish coats inside and out. Prep quality — not paint brand — is what determines how long the job lasts.
Typical costs

Walls, ceiling, trim.
$400 – $1,100

2,000 sq ft home.

Exterior repaint

Ranges reflect typical U.S. residential pricing. Local labor rates and access can move them.
Common questions
How many coats should I expect?
Two finish coats over primed surfaces is standard. A one-coat quote is almost always a lower-quality job, not a bargain.
Things to watch out for
- Quotes that don't itemize prep: pressure washing, scraping, caulking, priming.
- Paint supplied by the homeowner to 'save money' — it usually voids the workmanship warranty.
