Whole-house interior pricing
Most 2,000-2,500 sq ft interiors in the Phoenix metro repaint for $3,500 to $6,500 walls-only, or $5,500 to $9,500 with ceilings and trim included. Larger homes and homes with a lot of vaulted ceilings scale up from there.
'Walls only' is the fastest, cheapest job — but if the ceilings and trim haven't been touched in a decade, doing them at the same time is significantly cheaper than coming back later.
Per-room ranges
Bedroom (walls only): $350-$650. Bedroom with ceiling and trim: $600-$1,100. Living room / great room: $600-$1,500 depending on ceiling height. Kitchen (walls only, no cabinets): $400-$900. Bathroom: $250-$500.
Two-story entryways and stairwells always run more than they look like they should — scaffolding and cut-ins add real hours.
What raises the number
Dark accent walls being repainted light (needs a coat of primer + two color coats). Repairing drywall dings and nail pops. Repainting trim a different color than the walls. Textured walls that need extra product per square foot.
None of those are surprises — they should all show up itemized on your quote, not sprung on you halfway through.
