What would it cost to paint an interior room?
Painting a bedroom or a bathroom are common tasks for a handyman.
The great majority of handymen will use a brush and roller to paint a single room. The effort required to prepare for a sprayer is too great to be economical for a small paint job.
The choice of colors made by the homeowner will greatly effect the number of coats needed to cover and the final cost of the job. If dark colors are chosen the painter will probably need to apply nearly 3 full coats of paint.
When purchasing paint, always buy the best quality available. The extra money spent on paint will be saved many times over in labor. Less coats will be needed and you'll have a better finished product.
Another way to save money on your paint job is to buy primer tinted to the same color as the paint. The primer will more easily cover existing paint and you will almost always be able to get away with a single top coat.
