Got an $8.5k paint quote (interior) for my 2,800 sqft townhome, ceilings excluded. That that sounds Lin line with what you all are seeing? Was expecting less tbh. Thanks!

2,800 sf floor area does not equate to properly calculating the wall square footage.

You could live in an open floor plan home where there are only perimeter walls for all we know. Are your ceilings 15' high where ladders are required? Are they also painting base molding, crown molding, and door trim? What brand/quality paint are they using? How many guys and number of days?

Also what state?

I’d just do it yourself for that price. 2800 sq ft is probably $1500 in paint and $7000 in labor

Doesn’t seem high to me but there are way too many variables to get great insight here. Get a quote from another company (or 2).

Agree! 3 quotes minimum and never mention you already had a quote.

Price is reasonable

Paid 13k for a 2200 sq ft house, including ceilings

I painted every wall on my 3k sqft house and it took us $2k in paint alone, I think like $500+ in primer, $200 rollers/brushes, and $200 on the blue masking tape alone 🫣. Labor is expensive nowadays so that sounds about right
