The average painter's cost of labor ranges between $22 to $43 per hour, not counting taxes or overhead included.

Take into account that this cost is for the painting services themselves to pay a painting specialist per hour. Insurance, taxes, tools, or any gallons of paint is not added in that price.

The short answer is yes, and there are other valuable benefits to be had from interior painting projects:

• Increase the Value of Your Residence: A great paint job can display to potential buyers that you have taken exceptional care of your property. It can also help sell a home that's on the market quicker, even over listing price. Even if you are not planning on selling your home in the near future, a proper interior paint job by a professional painting contractor can last up to 7 years. Interior painting can be thought of as a home improvement investment with one of the highest returns when factoring in the effect on home value and buyer interest.
• Boost Your Mood at Home: Because interior painting is an economical project to update your house, it can be one of the most effective tools to make your home a more comfortable and happy place. If you haven't painted your house recently or have boring colors that you might not like anymore or didn't choose, your rooms may not feel like a space where you truly feel comfortable. Also, many people are working from home and/or staying home a lot more, so making the colors of your home appealing is a higher priority. Depending on what option you select, a fresh paint color can affect your mood as you desire — calm and rested (blues and greens), lively and motivated (yellows and oranges), or even safe and content (neutral colors).
• Protect and Prevent Damage to Your House: Having your interior painted protects your home now by preventing future damage from happening inside and outside of your walls. Many interior walls are manufactured with materials which naturally absorb moisture. Over time, too much absorption can lead to compromised walls which can be risky to your home's structural integrity. Water within walls is a catalyst for mold growth which can lead to health risks. Paint works to keep water from infiltrating the porous walls of your property.
• Strengthen Air Quality Throughout Your Residence: Paints now are produced with low or zero VOCs. If you or your loved ones have allergies, breathing problems, or are sensitive to chemicals, this is a huge advantage and a great option for your home. A fresh coat of paint also keeps dust and other pollutants to a minimum which will boost your home's air quality exponentially.
• Make Your House Look Fantastic: All homes harbor flaws and blemishes. Walls frequently have dents, dings, and markings from wear and tear to your home over the years. Having your home's interior painted eliminates all cosmetic issues and can make your room look updated and clean. A fresh paint color for your interior can also modernize your living space.

One of the biggest selling points to hiring within the winter months is that it's a slower time of year for painting services. The weather often keeps people from wanting to do home improvement projects, so professional painters are more readily available.

For that reason, they might be able to decrease their price than what they normally do in peak seasons like summer. Summer is a time when most painters are scheduled around the clock for months on end.

The price to paint the inside of your home depends on the square footage of the space. A single 300-square-foot space will be much more low-cost than the entire house, especially a spacious one.

On average, expect to spend around $3 to $7 per square foot when enlisting a nearby professional to paint the inside of your home. You'll spend less if you paint the house yourself or live in an area with low labor costs. However, some factors can cause the job to cost even more, and you may spend as much as $8 per square foot or more if you have tall ceilings, need wall repair, or want accents.
