A full interior repaint (walls, ceilings, and trim) typically runs $5,629–$12,445, with an average 3-bedroom home around $9,975. The number depends on how many rooms, ceiling height, and whether you paint ceilings and trim in every room.
Usually yes. Doing every room in one visit shares setup, prep, and mobilization, so the per-room cost is lower than booking rooms one at a time.
These figures include walls, ceilings, and trim/baseboards with two coats of premium Sherwin-Williams paint, plus prep and cleanup. You can drop ceilings or trim to lower the price — the instant estimator lets you choose per room.
Most whole-home interiors take about 3–6 working days depending on the number of rooms, prep, and coats. See our painting timeline guide for room-by-room durations.
