What it really costs to paint your home



Pricing a painting or epoxy project typically involves several factors, including the size of the project, the materials and labor required, the level of detail and customization requested by the client, and the market rates for similar projects in the area.

The value you receive is also a major consideration

We are so confident in the work we guarantee, we offer free touch ups for life on most interior residential painting projects


For painting projects, the first step is to measure the surface area to be painted, as this will determine the amount of paint and supplies required.

Next, the condition of the surface may need to be assessed to determine if any repairs or prep work are needed before painting can begin. This can also impact the final cost.

Additionally, the type of paint selected can also impact the pricing. For example, if a client requests a premium quality paint, this will increase the overall cost of the project.

Likewise, if the project requires multiple coats of paint, or if there are intricate details or designs involved, this will also increase the final cost.


Similarly, when pricing an epoxy project, the size of the area to be covered and the type of epoxy being used will be factors. Different types of epoxy can vary in price, with some being more expensive due to their higher quality or durability.


Labor costs are another factor in pricing a painting or epoxy project. The amount of labor required will depend on the complexity of the project and the skill level of the workers.

For example, if the project requires a high level of detail or customization, this may require more skilled labor, which will increase the overall cost.


In summary, pricing a painting or epoxy project involves considering several factors, including the size of the project, the materials and labor required, the level of detail and customization, and market rates in the area.

By taking these factors into account, a fair and accurate price can be determined for the project.



Here are some examples of what different projects may cost and our minimums

Epoxy Garage floors: We use only the highest grade epoxy, this is not your epoxy from the big box store or paint store.

Many variables go into epoxy floor installations such as.

  • The current condition of the surface, more patching means more money.
  • The density of the concrete, the harder it is, the more aggressive grinding and preparation is needed.
  • What is the moisture content and pressure of the surface, if over a certain range a special primer will be needed
  • How soon do you need the project done?
  • Does it need to be done in phases, the more phases equals more cost
  • The use of the floor, how will the floor be used? Foot traffic, cars and trucks, chemicals? All of these can change the cost as the correct products must be used

Our projects begin at $4 a sq ft and go well above $10 or more a sq ft depending on the complexity of the project.

Our minimum epoxy floor is $1750, to bring all of our equipment out we are not set up for smaller projects at this time.

For example a typical basement of 1200 sq ft for a basic professional coating would cost around $4800-$6000 or more

A typical two car garage in good condition will be between $2500-$4000 or more depending on the variables mentioned above



Kitchen Cabinet Projects as well depend on many factors, how much preparation, types of paint used, is there oak grain, any damage?

Our minimum project starts at $1750 and typically is between $3500-6000 for a standard kitchen which is much below replacing them.

By using a high quality cabinet coating, and free lifetime touch ups you can be assured of your satisfaction.



Interior Painting: Our minimum project begins at $1250 and usually around the cost for a single small bedroom with the walls, ceiling, trim and doors painted. Full interiors typically range from $5000-$20,000 or more depending on the complexity of the project.

A typical small bedroom of 10x12 will be between $600-$800 for the ceilings, walls and trim painted.



Our exterior projects also begin at $1500 which will get some trim work, a front door, or shutters completed in most cases.

Full exteriors can range from $3500-$25,000 or more depending on many factors



Remember all projects are unique, using sq ft pricing off of the internet will not typically work you are looking what to expect with pricing. 

This is why it is important to be present at your estimate

We look forward to meeting you.
