How Much it Really Costs to Paint Your House

Preparing your spring-time budget for house painting is a good move.

That is to say, professionally painting your home isn’t cheap. But, it’s a pretty good deal when you consider how much labor it requires. Painting the exterior of a typical single-story, 1,500-square-foot house costs roughly between $1,800 and $3,000.

Additionally, painting the interior of a house costs about $2,000 to $3,600. However, if you’re ambitious enough to tackle the work yourself, you can save at least half on the total cost, and often more.
