How the calculator works
Our estimate calculator considers these factors to generate a price range for your project. The more details you provide, the more accurate the estimate.
house Interior factors
Property Type
Condo, townhome, or single-family home. Each affects pricing differently.
Square Footage
Total paintable area determines material and labor estimates.
Interior vs. Exterior
Interior and exterior projects have different prep, material, and labor profiles.
Number of Levels
Multi-level homes require more setup time and crew coordination.
Baseboards & Trim
Trim work is detail-intensive and priced based on linear footage and condition.
Ceilings
Flat, vaulted, or textured ceilings each require different techniques and time.
Windows & Doors
Each window and door frame adds masking, cutting in, and cleanup time.
Prep Work Level
Light touch-up vs. full scrape-and-prime makes a significant difference in cost.
Project Scope
Whole unit, half, or a quarter. The scope determines how much of the space is being painted.
foundation Exterior factors
Number of Stories
Higher stories require ladders, scaffolding, or lifts. Adding time and cost.
Ground Angle
Sloped or uneven ground makes ladder and scaffold placement more complex.
Roof Tiers
Multiple roof lines create hard-to-reach areas that require extra setup.
Doors Included
Exterior doors, garage doors, and storm doors each add to the scope.
Victorian / Tudor / Multi-Color
Ornate architectural styles with multiple colors require painstaking detail work.
Prep Work Level
Exterior prep includes power washing, scraping, caulking, and priming weathered surfaces.
