So we all love the full remodel. TV has got us hooked on dramatic home transformations. We now say things like good bones and take it down to the studs!
But let’s get real for a second here. Do we really need to resort to a full restoration? Or any restoration for that matter? Why cant we just change the color and do some very high quality paint work for a fraction of the price of a remodel? I for one live in the real world where budget is just about the most important thing to me. SO lets take a look at how we can get the most paint bang for our paint buck!
So how do we get the most “transformational” value for our dollars?
Obviously I am not currently at your home giving you an estimate So I broke this down into a few sections to help better get an idea of what your project could cost.
Factors Influencing Cost
- Room Size: Obviously every room is going to be a little different
- Quality of Paint: Paint can range from $12 a gallon to $212 a gallon. It’s important to know why and have your painter explain to you the advantages and disadvantages of different kinds of paint that will fit your use case and budget.
- Prep Work: So the first 2 points are really just based on square footage for the pricing. The prep (Which is the most important) is the element that can greatly influence the cost of your project. Basically the smoother you want it the more expensive it’s going to get.
Cost can vary from painting company to painting company
- Cheaper companies tend to use subcontractors. When they sell your job they will typically go to the paint store and sell your job to someone else. This can create many problems in quality of service and safety for homeowners
- More expensive painting companies will typically not subcontract work out and instead spend time and resources on training and character building. This creates a much higher quality end result and a safer environment for homeowners.
- Additional Expenses: A few things that will also factor into the price of a paint job are elements like high ceiling, heavy furniture and working only on weekends.
Saving Money on Your Paint Project
- Not everyone needs a Ferrari when a Ford will do just fine. Look, you don’t need Farrow & Ball. You don’t need Fine Paints of Europe. It’s great when you can afford it. But this blog is about painting budget and more times than not Benjamin Moore and Sherwin WIlliams are going to be just fine for your home.
- Do some of the work yourself. Like having the furniture moved before
- Opting for Quality: So quality work will generally save you money in the long run. Lots of it! Cheap work never lasts and good work is never cheap. So if you are planning on staying in your home it’s best to spend the money and choose quality. It will last much much longer.
Conclusion:
So If you are looking for the price to paint your bedroom. If you are painting just the walls and your room is 15×15 you can expect a low end price of around $400 to a high end price of $1200. However, like we discussed before. If there is sheet rock repair, If you are painting more than walls the price can range greatly.
