For painting molding/trim in residential homes we charge between $250 to $500 per room, including paint. This is one of the hardest home features to paint right. Wood trim and molding is primarily sprayed which requires a lot of materials and prepping to prevent overspray. In some cases, we provide trim touch up at a fraction of the cost. Your costs will vary depending on how much molding will be painted.
Homes with no crown molding (at the top of the ceiling) will have a lower price than others that have crown molding. The type of molding can also affect the price and there is a wide variety of moldings/trims such as clam-shell baseboard, ogee molding, toe, and base cap molding.
Q:
A:
What type of paint do you use on the interior?
We primarily use Sherwin Williams paint products. All products will be discussed with the homeowner during the estimate process. Some homes require special products and/or sheens due to the surfaces being painted. For example, high traffic areas require a sheen that can easily be cleaned and will hold up to traffic without wearing out.
Q:
A:
How detailed are your estimates?
We are incredibly detailed on all our estimates. We believe in not only being thorough, but also in educating our customers throughout the process, so they know exactly what to expect. We break all items out by room and/or job being performed. We list all products being used so that customers can do their own research and compare our estimates with others if they wish.

If you are working with a budget, try sticking with the same color or a slightly darker color.
Q:
A:
If I have wood windows will it cost more?
Unfortunately, yes. Wood windows require more time as most of them need to be painted by hand. The more windows you have the higher the cost. In some cases, a 4-sided brick home with wood windows will cost more to paint then a house with vinyl windows and siding. We take our time prepping each surface and ensure the widows are in working order when we are done.

Exterior house painting varies greatly, but our average charge for a 2,000 square foot, ranch style home runs about $3,000 including all paint and materials.

YES! We will not paint a home unless “We Can Do It Right”! We will replace all wood rot around your entire home before we paint. All estimates include wood repair as a separate line item.

What type of paint do you use on the exterior?
