Q: How do you estimate the cost of painting interior walls?

<div><p>To estimate the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-paint-room.htm">cost to paint interior walls</a>, multiply the square footage by the average price range to paint interior walls, which is $2 to $6 per square foot. For example, a 12-by-12-foot room with 8-foot tall walls is 384 square feet, meaning that the cost to paint the room will range from $768 to $2,304. Painting the ceiling and any trim will add to the overall cost, as will any repairs.</p></div>

Sam was sloppy, slow, used a different paint than quoted, failed to scrape off old paint and painted over peeling paint, and did not paint everything agreed to. Ruined floors and left paint on windows.

They were very knowledgeable, professional, and very prompt. The price was a little high. I'd rather go to the private contractor that I chose.
