One of the first questions homeowners ask us is simple: how much will this cost? Every home is different, but after painting houses across Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, London and Woodstock, we can give you realistic ranges and explain what moves the price up or down.
Typical painting prices in 2026
- Single bedroom (walls): $400 – $700
- Full main floor: $2,500 – $4,500
- Whole-house interior: $4,500 – $8,500
- Whole-house exterior: $5,500 – $11,000
These ranges include paint, materials and labour from a fully insured, WSIB-covered crew. HST is extra. Your exact price comes from a free on-site visit.
What affects the price
- Size and ceiling height. More wall area and taller ceilings mean more paint and more time.
- Wall condition. Nail holes, cracks, peeling paint and water stains all need repair and priming before paint goes on.
- Colour changes. Going from a dark colour to a light one can need primer or a third coat.
- What gets painted. Ceilings, trim, baseboards, doors and window frames are quoted on top of walls.
- Paint quality. Premium lines like Sherwin-Williams Emerald cost more but wash better and last longer.
- Access. High foyers, stairwells and multi-storey exteriors need extra equipment and care.
Interior vs exterior painting costs
Exterior jobs usually cost more because of prep. A house exterior has to be pressure washed, scraped, caulked and primed before any paint goes on, and the work depends on the weather. Learn more on our exterior painting page, or see what is included on our interior painting page.
How to avoid surprise charges
Ask for a fixed-price written quote that lists exactly what is included: which rooms, which surfaces, how many coats, which paint and the start and finish dates. At Patel Painters Pro, the price we quote is the price you pay.
