How much should it cost to paint the interior of a 2000 sq ft house?

For a 2,000 sq ft home in Kitchener-Waterloo, a full interior ceiling job, removal, skim coating, priming, and two coats of paint, typically runs $9,000 to $15,000, depending on the current condition of the ceilings.

  • Unpainted popcorn ceiling: $4.50/sqft all-inclusive (removal, 2 skim coats, primer, 2 coats of paint)
  • Previously latex-painted ceiling: $6.50/sqft all-inclusive
  • Previously oil-based painted ceiling: $7.50/sqft all-inclusive

Smaller jobs, like a single floor or a few rooms, are priced the same way per square foot, just on a smaller footprint.

Because chrysotile asbestos was commonly mixed into ceiling texture before the mid-1980s, we recommend testing before disturbing any ceiling from that era. Testing costs $300 to $500, billed at cost with no markup, and we coordinate it directly. Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing before disturbing suspect material, though removal itself isn't mandated by law, and the Ontario Building Code doesn't regulate popcorn ceilings specifically.
