Significant Factors Affecting Residential Painting Cost

Apart from the above numbers, certain essential factors play a crucial role in deciding the cost of the painting job. Knowing which factors influence painting cost will help you set more realistic goals once the painters get started.

Project Size

You already know that the bigger the project (i.e. size (square footage) of the area that needs to be painted), the more it will cost to get professional services. Do you want your bedroom to be painted? Or is it just the exterior of the house? 

The amount of area you want to get painted will be one of the most significant factors in determining your overall cost.

Also, some areas of your home will be harder to paint on or around as compared to other areas. For example, some homes might have a lot of obstacles that make the job of the painter even harder. Obstacles like large evergreen bushes, pergolas, arbors, retractable awnings, and steeply sloping ground. These types of obstacles will make your residential painting even more expensive.

Paint Quality

Paint quality is also an essential element when it comes to the cost of painting your house. There are several paint brands to choose from. Each brand offers a quality of different grade. 

We recommend that you always go with the highest-quality paints since they are more durable. Low-quality paints easily peel off and fade away over time. True, higher-quality paints would cost you a lot more initially than lower-standard paints, but since they outlast the sub-standard paints, you will save money over the long term.  

Preparations

Another major cost determinant is the amount of preparation work that needs to be done. Painters will always make sure that preparations are taken into consideration while estimating the cost.

Wall with cracks, chipped paint, warping, or molds would demand time to be fixed. Fixing these issues involves a lot of work therefore, such a project will require you to set aside an extensive budget.
