I would like to know how to estimate an interior paint job?How much does it cost to paint the interior of a 2100 square foot house?
interior paint itself costs anywhere from $12-$50 or more a gallon, depending on the quality. Painting a 12x12-foot room, both walls and ceiling, can require $25-$100 worth of paint, plus $10-$50 for primer, brushes, rollers, drop clothes and other supplies. For a 1,500-square-foot home, supplies run $200-$300 for average paint, and $400-$600 for higher quality.
Expect to pay $200-$400 to have a 12x12-foot room painted by a licensed contractor with brand-name paints; a 15x20-foot room or larger runs $300-$700 or more; and a 1,200-1,500 square foot home is $1,100-$2,000 or more. Having the ceiling painted bumps the cost to the high end of the scale.How much does it cost to paint the interior of a 2100 square foot house?
you would have to figure out the square footage of all the walls, because lots of small rooms take more paint than a couple of big rooms. lets say....prob at least 35,000 sq ft of wall (?)
primer usually costs about $80 for new drywall or up to$120 for over old paint for a 5 gallon pail. coverage is about 350sqper gallon, 1750 per 5gallon= 20 pails or $1600-2400 for primer
paint is about $130-150 per 5 gallon pail, about the same coverage, but two coats minimum, so 40 pails. some paint lines do not make 5 gallon pails for dark colours, so add more for dark colours. $ 5200-6000 for the paint, maybe 7000 for dark colours.
ceiling is about $100 per 5 gallon, same coverage or so, 2 coats. 3 pails paint, one or two more primer, $4-500.
ballpark 7000-9000 just for paint. add prob another $500-1000 for tools, ladders, rental for scaffold.
then you need to get paid
and you need to pay employees
one coat on 100 sq ft is prob about (im guessing, never time myself) an hour including cut in at worst,
good luck!
Now they gave you the cost i will give you the procedure
