Room Painting FAQ
Common Questions
How many coats of paint are needed?
Two coats is standard for a quality finish. If you are making a dramatic color change, such as dark to light, a coat of primer plus two coats may be needed.
Do painters move furniture?
Most painters will move smaller items and cover furniture with drop cloths. Large or heavy items should be moved before the crew arrives. Discuss this with your painter during the estimate.
How do I choose the right paint color?
Most paint stores offer sample sizes you can test on your wall. Look at samples in both natural and artificial light at different times of day before committing.
Can you paint just one accent wall?
Yes, painting a single accent wall is a popular and affordable way to update a room. Expect to pay around $200 for a single wall with 2 coats.
What is included in standard prep?
Standard prep includes covering floors, taping trim and edges, filling small nail holes, and light sanding. Extensive wall repair, wallpaper removal, or heavy patching is typically extra.
