Prep work required
Holes, cracks, texture matching, and wallpaper removal add significantly to labour. Good prep work is what separates professional from amateur results.

Homes needing repairs, high ceilings (over 10 ft), or heritage details (crown mouldings, wainscoting) require more time and cost more to paint.

Painting multiple accent walls or detailed trim work with contrasting colours increases labour by 20–40%.
