These ranges are planning estimates. Your final quote will confirm the surfaces, preparation and inclusions for your property.

Looking beyond home size

Siding condition, trim detail and safe access can change the amount of work. Walk us through peeling areas, damaged wood and the colors you have in mind during your estimate.

Trim, windows & doors

Include a count of doors and windows and tell us whether the woodwork is painted or stained. We’ll quote these details to your project rather than assume they are included in wall painting.

Ceilings & texture removal

Ceiling height, texture and condition help determine the scope. Let us know about repairs and whether you want the existing texture refreshed or removed.


Kitchen Cabinets: $3,750–$8,000

Cabinet painting starts with the existing finish and the number of doors and drawers. We’ll discuss preparation, the areas to be coated and how access to your kitchen will be managed. See our cabinet painting service for project examples.

Compare the complete proposal

Compare estimates for the same surfaces and preparation. Look for clear product specifications, coat counts, cleanup, exclusions and warranty terms. Ask for clarification before choosing a proposal if anything is missing.
