Painting costs can vary quite a bit depending on the size of your home, the condition of the surfaces, and the level of finish you're looking for.
At RiteKote Painting & Decorating, we believe in being transparent so you can plan your project confidently. Below is a realistic breakdown of what homeowners in Barrie and Simcoe County can expect.
Interior Painting Costs
Most interior painting projects fall between $2,500 – $7,000, depending on size and detail.
Example ranges:
- 2–3 bedroom home: roughly $2,800 – $5,000
- Full home repaint: roughly $4,500 – $7,000+
What affects the price:
- • Number of rooms
- • Ceiling height
- • Wall condition and repairs needed
- • Whether trim, doors, and ceilings are included
- • Paint quality
Exterior Painting Costs
Most exterior painting projects fall between $3,500 – $10,000+, depending on size and prep.
What affects the price:
- • Size of home
- • Height (bungalow vs. two-storey)
- • Surface type (siding, stucco, brick, trim)
- • Prep work required (scraping, sanding, priming)
Cabinet Painting
Most cabinet painting projects fall between $2,500 – $6,000+.
Cabinet painting is one of the best ROI upgrades because it can transform the look of a kitchen without the cost of a full renovation.
Cost Per Square Foot
If you are looking to do rough back-of-the-napkin math, here are general ranges:
- Interior: $1.75 – $3.50 / sq ft
- Exterior: $2.00 – $5.00 / sq ft
Note: These are general ranges only. Detailed quotes depend heavily on prep work required, finish level, and total project scope.
Why Prices Vary
Every home is different. The biggest cost drivers are surface preparation, number of coats required, detail work (trim, doors, railings, ceilings), and access logistics. At RiteKote, our focus is on doing it right the first time through proper prep, clean finishes, and durable results.
