"I hired Craftsman Home Builders to Tex coat and Cool Wall the exterior of my home. l’m very happy with how my home looks! The workers took pride in their work and cleaned up after themselves. At the same time, I ordered some fire, ember screens from another company, and I was told by Craftsman Home Builders that they would go ahead and install them for me. The other company delayed the delivery of my screens by almost a month and a half. But, I was still assured that they would go ahead and install them when the screens arrived. When they were finally delivered, the workers came to install them. But the custom-made screens were the wrong size. Somewhere along the line, a measurement error had occurred. I was assured by Jordan, an officer of Craftsman Home Builders that the error was not on my end and that they would make good on their promise. I was told they would adjust the siding to accommodate the screens, or re-order the screens at their expense. Together, we problem solved and they were able to install the screens to my satisfaction in a very swift, and professional manner. I’m happy to recommend this company to anyone that wants good work done on their home."

Hi my name is Francisco Ortiz I recently started my own business as a painter but I have been in this industry for a little over 22 years with plenty of experience. Specializing in special finishes, lacquers, patina, antiques, glaze, and stain. I also refinish cabinets and custom paint. I do interior and exterior work. Minor drywall repairs, moulding installation and much much more. High Craftsmanship, 100% satisfaction!

"I gave Francisco of Supremacy Painting 5 stars and would have given him ten stars if I could. After posting my request to have my house painted I was contacted immediately! The next day Francisco went to the house to look at the scope of work needed, and I received a quote the next day. The quote was very reasonable and it fit in my budget. Next Frncisco assisted me in picking the color I wanted. I had a general idea of that, but he was very helpful in getting me 3 renditions of the color as it would appear on my house! This was extremely helpful .Francisco also made suggestions about details on the house that I wouldn't have thought of, which I loved! next we set a date , which perfectly accommodated my schedule. Francisco and his amazing crew showed up precisely on time Monday morning and the job was complete by Wednesday!I was kept informed of the progress ,and what to expect each day. My older house now looks brand new! I love it. I found dealing with Supramacy Painting, i was dealing with true professionals who did an amazing job, beyond my expectations. If you need a job done well, efficiently, professionally, with a crew that are a pleasure to work with, you will not go wrong with Supremacy painting."

FAQs for interior painting projects in La Jolla, CA

When you’re considering hiring a painter, a quote should include the following items:

  • Overall price

  • Price for each area (e.g., living room, master bedroom) or item (e.g., trim, doors)

  • Cost of labor

  • Cost of materials

  • Description of prep

  • Description of repairs to be made

  • Description and details of paint application (number of coats, brand and type of paint, etc.)

You may need to provide your own paint, depending on the agreement you make with the painter. Some painters prefer that you buy the paint and they supply the labor. However, some professional painters get a better price on paint and can pass that savings along to you even after accounting for labor costs.

The average cost to paint a ceiling ranges from $3 to $8.50 per square foot, which is about $1 to $2.50 more per square foot than the cost to paint the walls. Rooms with high ceilings require working from a ladder or scaffolding and often include trim or detail work, which adds to the final price.

Professional painters charge $20 to $50 per hour, on average. Hourly rate cost factors include the complexity of the paint job, the type of paint, the height of the walls and ceiling, and the type of prep and repairs needed. For example, removing wallpaper costs an additional $3 per square foot because it can be very time consuming and labor intensive. Your location will also impact the hour rate.

To estimate the cost to paint interior walls, 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.
