What?! Paint is $25 a gallon. Surely 4-5 gallons would paint two/three rooms.
Not that poster but add in paint brushes, plastic, tape and other stuff and it adds up quickly.
Not that quick. $200 max for DIY.
You can get a painter or three for a day for $500-800.

we got estimates on a similar job and they varied a LOT. Anywhere from $1200-3500. it was insane. We went with the lowest one and they did great job. It's painting, not surgery.

Just saw this in the new issue of Washington Checkbook posted online ... seems like there is a huge variation in pricing depending on whom you hire ... I'd probably make a few different calls and get estimates.

BUMP - really appreciate any insight here. The last time I had this done, DH told me the cost was outrageous.

BUMP - this is for NW DC in case folks believe there is "surge" pricing.

While I would like the whole house interior painted, there is not time for it. I need two bedrooms and a kitchen and small adjoining room painted. 1920s colonial with plaster walls. Ceilings may also need to be painted.
Appreciate cost estimates for this project. thanks.
