Painting is one of the first things many homeowners will do before selling their house. It is a relatively simple upgrade, that can have a big impact on the appearance of the house. Most people will opt to hire a professional to handle it as painting the whole house can be quite an undertaking.
Others will choose only to do certain rooms to be mindful of costs. Repainting your entire house can ultimately set you back thousands. Painting a home can be very expensive, a rule of thumb is $300-$500 per room.
A complete interior can be as much as $6,000-$8,000 depending on the house size. Exterior paint jobs vary based on the size of the home. A 1200 square foot home may be around $2,500 while a 3,500 square foot home can be $6,000-$7,000. A rough number to use is anywhere between $1.75 and $2.00 per square foot.
