What Drives the Cost
The factors that move a quote up or down within the range.
Trim and door coverage
Adding trim, baseboards, and doors typically doubles edge-work labour on a room. Always specify trim up front so the quote is complete.
Ceiling inclusion
Painting ceilings adds 25-40% per room. Often worth doing as a one-time job vs. revisiting later.
Wall condition
Cracks, holes, water damage, or old wallpaper add prep hours. Stripping wallpaper alone can add $300-800 per room.
Colour change difficulty
Light-to-dark or vibrant colour changes need an extra coat — adds 15-20% to labour and paint volume.
Paint line
Benjamin Moore Regal Select (our standard) is included; upgrading to Aura adds $80-150 per gallon × 2-3 coats per room.
Floor and furniture protection
Larger furniture moves and heavy floor protection (e.g., high-pile carpet, hardwood with finish risk) add 1-2 hours per room.
