"I have worked with Custom Paint Jobs for various projects in our home. I will never use another painting company. They have painted our basement, new trim, built in book shelves, new staircase, kitchen, bedrooms, & interior doors. We are not only impressed with the quality of work, but the overall professionalism of the teams. We highly recommend this company to anyone searching for quality painters."

"We had a great experience with Five Star Painting. The painters did a great job and kept the area clean. Larry made sure they had everything they needed, and checked in with them often. The work was started and finished in a timely manner. We thought the pricing was fair. We would certainly use this company again."

"Well, I tried sanding my ceiling (dumb homeowner) and completely ruined it or so I thought. They came in and made the ceiling completely smooth and gorgeous. Put fresh paint on the ceiling and walls. They cleaned up every night even though I told them dont bother since you will be back. Awesome job and quick"

"Tim did a fantastic job with our kitchen. He worked with us through the process, coming up with solutions when we encountered unexpected challenges. His craftmanship is remarkable. Tim tore out our kitchen and drywall, installed new drywall and overhead lights, a new ceiling, installed new cabinets, and installed the tile backsplash. Everything looks better than we could have imagined! We will certainly hire him for any future projects. His estimated timeline was perfect and he started right when expected. Fantastic contractor!"

"We couldn’t be any more happy with our completed projects by ODP than we are! Adam is reliable, conscientious, trustworthy and above all committed to delivering the highest quality finished work. Our first project with ODP involved staining out the staircase from our great room down to our lower level. Tying our floor to the treads, bannister, etc. was no easy task. Adam provided valuable design feedback, and in the end - made the staircase a focal point for our entire first floor. From there, we had ODP paint the exposed rough ceiling in our new workout room. To be honest, we were a little nervous about that project, but it came out great - giving the room a cool industrial look. Lastly, we had ODP paint our entire walkout level. Their attention to detail was incredible, and Adam provided honest input - letting us know that we could get by with touching up our doors and trim, rather than repainting them completely - which helped us save a little and come in under budget. We’re already considering our next project with ODP, painting our exterior trim. We feel very fortunate to have found a painting company we can rely on for all of our future projects."

Painting Ceiling FAQs

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.
