Modeled for 1,500 sq ft at a mid-range finish, using our national planning benchmark. We have not validated a local cost adjustment for Texas, so treat this as a budget range, not a quote.

Planning estimate only, not a contractor quote. Built from Home Cost USA modeled national unit costs for interior painting, and adjusted for job complexity (×1.00). No validated local cost adjustment is applied, so this is a national planning benchmark rather than a local price. Scope assumed: Walls, ceilings, and trim with standard prep and quality paint.
Hiring a painting contractor
Get at least three itemized written bids for the same scope of work. Bids that differ by more than about a third usually describe different work, so compare material grade, preparation, cleanup and warranty before you compare totals.
Ask who pulls the permit. In most places the licensed contractor pulls it, and a contractor asking you to pull it as the homeowner is moving liability onto you.
Check license and insurance status yourself with the appropriate state agency before you sign anything. Home Cost USA does not verify licenses, and no company listed here is endorsed or vetted by us.
Never pay in full up front. Tie payments to milestones and hold the last payment until the work passes inspection and your punch list is finished.
A business address tells you where a company is based, not which areas it covers, so always confirm they work at your address.
Questions to ask before you hire
Comparing bids only works when every bid covers the same scope. Ask each contractor the same questions and write the answers down.
- 1How many coats are included, and which surfaces (walls, ceilings, trim, doors)?
- 2What prep is included for patching, caulking, and priming?
- 3What paint product and sheen are you quoting?
- 4Can you send an itemized written estimate that separates labor, materials, and permit fees?
- 5Is your business licensed for this work in my state, and can you share your license and insurance certificates?
- 6Who will be on site day to day, and are they employees or subcontractors?
- 7What is your written warranty on labor, and how long does the material warranty last?
- 8What is your payment schedule, and how much do you require up front?
- 9What would cause the price to change once work starts, and how are change orders approved?
- 10How will you protect the rest of my home, and who handles cleanup and disposal?
