Interior Painting & Scheduling

How Long Does it Take to Paint a House Interior?

Are you considering a fresh coat of paint for your home’s interior? Whether you’re looking to update your living space or preparing your house for sale, interior painting can be a transformative and valuable investment. One common question homeowners have about interior painting projects, is how long will the project take to be completed?

Things to consider with interior painting scheduling:

Room Size

The size of the room is one of the most significant factors affecting the painting schedule. Larger rooms naturally require more time to paint than smaller ones. For example:

• A small bedroom or bathroom may take around 1-2 days to complete.
• A medium-sized living room or kitchen might require 2-3 days.
• Larger spaces, such as spacious master bedrooms or open-concept living areas, may take 3-5 days or more.

Number of Rooms

The total number of rooms to be painted also plays a role in the project’s timeline. Painting a single room is a quicker task than painting multiple rooms. However, professional painters like the team at 360° Painting of Overland Park, KS, can efficiently manage multiple rooms to minimize disruption.

Room Type

Different room types come with their own unique considerations:

• Bedrooms: Bedrooms are generally easier to paint as they have fewer obstacles like cabinets or appliances. 1-2 days is usually sufficient.
• Living Rooms: These spaces can vary widely in size and complexity, but 2-3 days is a reasonable estimate.
• Kitchens: Kitchens may take longer due to the need to remove and reinstall cabinets. 3-5 days is common.
• Bathrooms: Smaller bathrooms can typically be completed in 1-2 days.
• Hallways: Painting hallways is usually quicker, often within a day.

Preparation Work

Proper preparation is key to a successful paint job. Cleaning, sanding, and repairing walls can add time to the project. The condition of your walls also matters, as extensive repairs may be needed for older or damaged surfaces.

Painting Technique

The choice of painting technique matters too. Rolling, brushing, or spraying can all impact the timeline. If additional work like painting trim or accent walls is required, it will extend the schedule.

Keep in mind that these are rough estimates and can vary based on the specific requirements of your project.

Crew Size

We have several ways to complete projects and crew size can make a huge difference in timeline. Depending on the situation, our project manager may make a decision on how to proceed with every job.

Why Hire Professionals

While some people may want to go with a DIY approach when it comes to painting the interior of their home, it may not always be the wisest decision. If you have no experience painting homes, the project will probably take longer as there will be more setbacks and things to learn as you go. You also leave the door open to make mistakes.
