Most often a painter will calculate the full expected square footage in advance and quote you a flat rate for the job. For kitchen cabinets expect to pay about $50 to $100 per door or drawer face.įor exterior jobs, a good range is $3 to $6 per square foot for a new paint job that includes your gutters, windows, trim and any shutters or other decorative elements. You can also expect to pay a bit more for painted millwork such as cabinetry or built-in furniture.

While most painters charge $2 to $7 per square foot for inside paint projects (which include at least two coats of paint), choosing to add window and door trims, moldings or painted doors will increase your costs slightly. As a rule of thumb, labor is usually 80% to 85% of the total paint job cost, but you should ask how your contractor is calculating their rate. In their estimate calls with you, they should break these two categories down. Painters charge for two elements: labor and materials. *These costs are based on estimates for repainting the interior walls only and can vary based on the square footage of a home.
