What professional painters charge per room, per sqft, and for full-home repaints across the Greater Toronto Area.

Per-Room Pricing

Average per-room cost in the GTA: $350–$600 for a standard bedroom (walls + ceiling, 2 coats). Living rooms and open-concept spaces: $500–$900. Kitchens and bathrooms: $400–$700 due to prep complexity.

Full-Home Repaints

A full interior repaint for a typical 3-bedroom GTA home (1,500–2,000 sqft) runs $3,500–$6,500. This includes walls, ceilings, trim, and doors. Cabinet painting adds $2,000–$5,000 depending on kitchen size.

What Affects Price

Ceiling height, wall condition (patching needed), colour changes (dark to light requires more coats), trim detail, and paint quality all affect pricing. Premium paints like Benjamin Moore Regal add $200–$400 to a whole-home job vs contractor-grade.
