Interior Painting Costs Around Great Falls
Interior work is quoted room by room. A standard bedroom with walls in decent shape sits at the low end; living rooms with tall walls, kitchens with lots of cut-in, and stairwells that need ladder work sit higher. Ceilings and trim are separate lines, and the biggest swing factor is prep — patching, mismatched touch-ups, and old wallpaper all get priced before paint.
For per-room tables and a whole-house breakdown by home size, see the interior painting cost guide. Winter is the best time to book interiors in Great Falls; the schedule opens up once exterior season ends.
Exterior Painting Costs Around Great Falls
Exteriors are priced on wall area, stories, siding type, and — above all — how much scraping and priming the surface needs. A well-kept single-story ranch is a few thousand dollars; a peeling two-story with lots of trim can be several times that. We usually quote two prep levels so you can choose between a standard job and one built to last a couple of decades in Great Falls sun and wind.
Garages, trim-only, and front doors are affordable stand-alone jobs when the siding is still sound. Full tables by home size and siding type are in the exterior painting cost guide.
Drywall, Texture, Popcorn, and Wallpaper Costs
Most painting jobs in Great Falls involve at least one of these before the color goes on, which is why we do them ourselves. Here's how each is typically priced:
- Drywall repair. A doorknob hole or ceiling crack textured and painted to match is a modest fixed price. Water damage that needs board replaced scales with the area.
- Mudding and taping. Priced per square foot of hung drywall, with a Level 5 skim coat for smooth walls costing more than a standard Level 4 finish.
- Wall texturing. Per square foot for new texture; small texture-match patches are priced as part of the repair.
- Popcorn ceiling removal. Per room or per square foot of ceiling, including scraping, skim coat, retexture or smooth finish, primer, and paint.
- Wallpaper. Installation is labor per square foot plus your paper; removal is per room and includes washing the glue off and skimming the wall for paint.
- Deck and fence staining. Per square foot, including cleaning and brightening — see the exterior guide for typical deck totals.
Cabinet painting is its own animal, priced per door and drawer. The cabinet painting cost guide covers it in detail, including how it compares to replacing the kitchen.
