What makes painting cost more or less?

Square footage, surface condition (how much prep and repair is needed), the number of coats, and finish quality all move the price. A freshly-built wall costs less to paint than one with years of nail holes and patches.

Do you price builder and production work differently?

Yes. Builder and production-volume work is priced per square foot under a committed contract rate, since it's a different scale and schedule than a single home.

What paint finishes should I use?

It depends on the room and how it's used. See paint finishes explained → for the breakdown.
