Interior painting cost depends on condition, prep, height, occupied vs. vacant status, color change, ceilings, trim and doors, not square footage alone.
Surface condition
Patching, sanding, stains and failed caulk add preparation.
Scope
Walls-only is different from walls, ceilings, trim and doors.
Height and access
Two-story spaces and stairwells change setup and production.
Occupancy
Furniture protection and daily reset affect labor.
Color change
Deep-to-light or sheen changes may affect primer and coats.
