Answer
Short answer: it depends far more on surface condition and preparation than on the size of the house.
There is no single figure, and any contractor who gives you one over the phone has not seen your house. What they are really quoting is how much preparation they intend to do.
| Job | Typical Houston range |
|---|---|
| Single room, walls only | $300 – $800 |
| Whole-home interior (1,500–2,500 sq ft) | $2,500 – $7,000 |
| Single-story exterior, full body | $3,000 – $7,000 |
| Two-story exterior, full body | $5,000 – $12,000 |
| Kitchen cabinets, around 30 doors | $3,000 – $6,500 |
The price of painting a house in Houston is set by six things: how much wall area there is, how many stories, what condition the existing finish is in, how much repair is needed first, how many colors and cut lines are involved, and which product line is used. Of those, condition and repair drive the biggest swings. A sound exterior that needs a wash and two coats is a very different job from one that needs scraping, board replacement and priming across two elevations.
Almost always because they are not the same scope. A lower number usually means less preparation, one coat instead of two, no primer on bare material, or repairs excluded and billed later. Ask each contractor to itemize preparation separately from paint and the quotes become comparable.
We measure on site, note the condition of each room or elevation, and send a written estimate within 24 hours with preparation itemized on its own line. If something turns up once we start, you hear about it before we do the work.
For the full breakdown of what moves the number, see the house painting cost guide, or the specifics for interiors, exteriors and cabinets.
We can talk through the likely scope, but not give a real number. Condition is the biggest cost driver and it cannot be assessed without seeing the surfaces.
Not automatically, but it is worth understanding why. In most cases a much lower number means a smaller scope rather than better value.
We will measure, flag anything that needs repair first, and put it in writing within 24 hours.
