What Affects Your Final Price
Prep & repairs — the single biggest variable. Patching, sanding, and priming take time but are what make a finish last. Size & ceiling height — more surface and taller walls mean more paint and labour. Colour & coats — big colour changes and premium finishes need extra coats. Access & condition — occupied homes, delicate surfaces, and hard-to-reach exteriors add time.
Painting Cost — Frequently Asked Questions
For an average 2,000–2,500 sq ft home in Delta, Tsawwassen, or Ladner, a full interior repaint typically runs $6,000–$14,000. Single rooms are usually $300–$600 each. Price depends on square footage, ceiling height, number of colours, and how much prep and patching is needed.
Exterior repaints for a standard Delta-area home generally range from $5,000–$12,000. Coastal BC homes often need extra prep — power washing, scraping, and priming bare wood — which affects the final price. We quote every exterior in person after assessing the siding condition.
Kitchen cabinet painting typically costs $1,800–$4,500 for a full kitchen, depending on the number of doors and drawer fronts. That's a fraction of $15,000–$40,000+ for new custom cabinets, which is why cabinet refinishing is one of the best-value upgrades.
The three biggest factors are (1) surface preparation — patching, sanding, priming; (2) square footage and ceiling height; and (3) the number of coats and colours. Cheap quotes almost always cut prep, which is why the paint fails early. We price proper prep into every quote.
No — all quotes are 100% free and no-obligation. We come to your home in Delta, Tsawwassen, Ladner, Port Coquitlam, or Port Moody, assess the work, and give you a detailed written price before anything begins.
Interior painting is year-round and priced the same in any season. Exterior painting in the Lower Mainland is weather-dependent and mostly done spring through fall — booking exterior work early in the season often means better scheduling flexibility.
