Getting a room painted shouldn’t feel like you’re guessing the price of a used car.
Still, when one Benbrook resident was quoted $795 to paint a single room and an attached sink area, it raised a valid question: Is that normal?
Turns out, painting prices vary, a lot. It depends on square footage, prep work, paint quality, and whether cabinetry, trim, or ceilings are included. One local paid $6,000 for a living room, entry, and hallway. Another was quoted $18,000 to repaint their entire 2,800-square-foot home and decided to DIY. Others reported smaller jobs like closets or single rooms landing between $400 and $1,000.
Bottom line: $795 for a single room and connected bathroom isn’t outrageous, but it’s always smart to get multiple quotes. Many painters charge by square foot, and prices can also spike for specialty finishes or if repairs are needed beforehand.
If you’re shopping around, names like Mason Robb with My Exterior Solutions and Carlo, a local painter tied to Tri-Point homes in the Ventana neighborhood, come recommended for quality work at a fair price.
Before signing a contract, know your room size, what surfaces you want painted, and whether paint is included in the price. This could save you hundreds, or just a few hours of painting it yourself.
