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>

We are very happy with Fitzgerald's work. We chose multiple colors and they were able to keep everything straight. Very good at detail, masking, roughing, spackling and they finished on time. The manager visited after the job was complete and did a walkthrough to ensure the job was done right....

He does good work. He is dependable and definitely not a fly-by-night type of guy. He is very honest and affordable. He's also done drywall and painting for us. He's also installed a new furnace. I've done a lot of remodeling and have used Dave for a lot of work.
