Painting Prices in Colorado Springs
How much will it cost to paint your home? It is the first question almost every homeowner asks us, and it is a fair one. You want to know if a project fits your budget before you book a walkthrough or take time off work to meet a contractor.
That is why we publish our 2026 painting prices in Colorado Springs right here. Below you will find price ranges for interior painting, exterior painting, cabinet painting and our Painter For A Day service. Each range explains what the work includes, so you can compare our prices with other quotes on equal terms.
Your final price comes as a fixed-price quote after a free walkthrough of your home. The ranges on this page help you plan. The quote tells you exactly what you will pay.

How Our Pricing Works
Many painting companies give a low number on the phone and then add charges once the job starts. We do it differently. Our process has three simple steps.
1. Free Walkthrough
We visit your home, look at every room or surface you want painted and listen to what you want. We check wall condition, ceiling height, trim detail and any repairs needed.
2. Fixed-Price Quote
We give you a quote with one fixed price. It lists the rooms or areas, the prep work, the paint and the number of coats. There are no hourly surprises.
3. Scheduled Start Date
Once you approve the quote, we book your start date and show up on time. The price stays the same unless you ask us to add more work.
Interior Painting Prices
Interior painting prices depend on the size of the room and how much of it we paint. To keep things clear, we price each room two ways:
Walls only: two coats of paint on the walls
Walls + ceiling + trim: the full room, including the ceiling, baseboards, door frames and window trim
Room Size
Example Rooms
Walls Only
Walls + Ceiling + Trim
Small room
Bathroom, small bedroom, office
$350 to $650
$450 to $1,200
Medium room
Standard bedroom, dining room
$500 to $800
$1,000 to $1,650
Large room
Living room, primary bedroom
$700 to $1,200
$1,500 to $3,500
Whole home
1,500 to 2,000 sq ft
$3,500 to $7,000
$6,500 to $16,000
Whole home
2,000 to 3,000 sq ft
$4,500 to $11,000
$8,000 to $21,000
Every interior price includes moving and covering furniture, protecting floors, filling nail holes, light patching, caulking gaps and premium paint. Rooms with high or vaulted ceilings, heavy wall damage or a big color change can cost more, because they need more time, more paint or extra coats.
Painting several rooms at once usually lowers the cost per room. Our crew is already set up in your home, so we save time on setup and cleanup and pass that saving on to you.
For a closer look at room-by-room costs, read our interior painting cost guide or see our interior painting services.
Exterior Painting Prices
Exterior painting prices are based on the size and style of your home. A two-story home takes more time and equipment than a ranch home of the same square footage, so we price by both size and height.
Full exterior repaint: siding, trim, fascia, soffits, doors and shutters
Trim and accents only: trim, fascia, doors and shutters, without the siding
Home Size and Style
Full Exterior Repaint
Trim and Accents Only
Small one-story, under 1,500 sq ft
$3,500 to $7,000
$1,800 to $3,000
1.5 to 2-story, 1,500 to 2,000 sq ft
$5,500 to $9,500
$2,200 to $4,000
Two-story, 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft
$8,000 to $14,000
$3,000 to $5,500
Large, 3,000 to 4,000 sq ft
$12,000 to $22,000
$4,000 to $7,000
Large, 4,000+ sq ft
$18,000 to $40,000+
$6,000 to $10,000+
Colorado Springs is tough on exterior paint. Strong sun at high altitude fades color faster, and snow, hail and freeze-thaw cycles cause peeling and cracking. That is why every exterior price includes the prep that makes paint last: power washing, scraping loose paint, caulking gaps, spot priming bare wood and protecting your plants, windows and walkways.
The type of siding also matters. Stucco, wood, fiber cement and older homes with many layers of paint each need a different level of prep. We look at all of this during the walkthrough and include it in your fixed price.
For more detail, read our exterior painting cost guide or see our exterior painting services.
Cabinet Painting Prices
Painting your kitchen cabinets costs a fraction of replacing them, and it can change the whole look of your kitchen. Cabinet painting prices are based on the number of doors and drawer fronts, because each one is removed, prepped, painted on both sides and reinstalled.
Kitchen Size
Doors and Drawers
Price
Small kitchen
10 to 20
$4,500 to $6,500
Medium kitchen
20 to 35
$6,500 to $9,000
Large kitchen
35 to 50+
$9,000+
Bathroom vanity
Per vanity
$700 to $1,800
Every cabinet price includes:
Removing doors, drawer fronts and hardware
Cleaning and degreasing every surface
Sanding and a bonding primer
A smooth spray finish with cabinet-grade paint
Reinstalling doors, drawers and hardware
Kitchen islands and two-tone colors (for example, white uppers and green lowers) are priced as add-ons. Cabinets with grease buildup, water damage or peeling edges need more prep, which we include in your quote after we see them.
For more detail, read our cabinet painting cost guide or see our cabinet painting services.

What Can Change Your Price
No two homes are the same. These are the most common things that move a price up or down within the ranges above:
Size and height: larger rooms, tall ceilings and two-story exteriors take more time and equipment
Surface condition: cracks, holes, peeling paint and water damage need more prep
Color change: going from dark to light, or light to dark, often needs an extra coat
Detail work: crown molding, built-ins, wainscoting and wood trim take longer to paint
Access: steep roofs, tall entryways and tight spaces need ladders, lifts or extra setup
Paint choice: higher-end paint lines and special finishes cost more per gallon
How to Save on Your Painting Project
A few simple steps can lower your price without cutting corners:
Paint several rooms in one project instead of one room at a time
Move small furniture, decor and wall hangings before we arrive
Choose a color close to your current one to avoid extra coats
Book exterior work early in the season, before the summer rush
Use Painter For A Day for small jobs that do not need a full crew
