​How Much Does it Cost to paint a House?

Painting Costs in the Calgary Area will vary when variables such as the brand of paint, the number of layers or coats and the quality of prep job and finish are recognized. You will find that every painting contractor in Calgary will give you a different response to this question. 

For Interior Painting Costs you have to weigh several factors when determining the price of a painting job.
  • The damages on the drywall and how many hours will it take to repair
  • The number of layers of paint that are needed & The quality of the paint you want
  • The height of your walls and ceiling  -  As a rule of thumb, the higher the walls the more expensive the labor cost will be.
  • Do you have chair rails, dental molding or any trim?
  • How big are the rooms? & Does your house or condo have pieces of furniture to move?

An ordinary Bedroom closet costs roughly $50 to paint 2 layers. A flat door is cheaper to paint than a paneled door if done by a roll or brush. Two layers on a flat door would cost roughly $25 per door depending on the quality. A paneled door would be about double the cost to paint by brush because it takes twice as much time to do it. A French door will require even longer to paint because of the many mun tins or glass panels.


​​Other Factors That Affect Calgary Painting Prices

Wallpaper

Removing wallpaper is one of those tasks that can vary with regard to the amount of time it takes to remove it.

Oil-based Paint

​Years back, painters used to apply oil-based paint on walls, trim and ceilings. You can't apply a new water-based paint on these painted facades until it is prepared correctly including the use of bonding primers. Be aware of painters who skip this important step and do not apply a primer.

​Lacquered Woodwork

Lacquered Woodwork- Calgary painters used to apply a lot of nitrocellulose, solvent-based lacquers to doors, cabinets, windows, and mill work in the past and this coating require to be primed accurately before top-coating with water-based acrylic paints.

​Furniture and Clutter

​Furniture and Clutter- A home that is empty is easier to paint and it will take about 25% less time to complete. Now, a house that has furniture filling every corner will take 25% more time to paint for obvious reasons.
Painting your house is the best way to give it a new and fresh appearance. If you are jaded with that aged color on your walls or if it has peeled off, painting your house can certainly make things better.
