Completely repainting your home can easily get expensive, especially if the building has many rooms. This is why it is essential to know the cost of this type of intervention. Here are a few ideas that will enlighten you before embarking on this project.
Going through the services of a painter is essential if you want to obtain excellent results, without necessarily having to make touch-ups afterwards. Only here, calling on this craftsman has a cost. But how to find your way among all the offers on the market? And to complicate our task even more, there are often big differences between the prices charged by these professionals.
Are high prices a guarantee of a job well done? Or should we automatically be wary of too cheap painters? With this kind of site you can calculate the price of your painting work per m2 for free. Then, all you have to do is wait for your quotes, without any commitment being asked of you.
Indeed, owners often hesitate between paying the house painter by the hour or by the square meter. And for people who don't know it yet, the hourly rate is calculated based on the duration of the task. While for the square meter, it is according to the surfaces to be covered. But already, be aware that the estimate made by the area is much more interesting, compared to that made by the hour.
In addition, the price per square meter will allow you to have a clear and detailed budget, but above all precise to the nearest penny. This will save you from unpleasant surprises later when you pay the bill. Hence the importance of getting an estimate from the craftsman before hiring him. Do not hesitate to ask him questions or ask him for advice on the choice of paint and materials.
Whether it is for the painting of a newly built house or for the renovation of an apartment, the budget will include two items:the service of the painter and the cost of the painting. As for the professional, the rate currently in force is 25 to 40 € per hour depending on the size and complexity of the site. More precisely €30 per m2 on average.
Thus, to get an approximate idea of the amount you will have to pay, you only have to multiply by 30 € the wall surface of the room, without taking into account the floor. For example, the raw paint for an 80 m2 room, without preparation and without washing, is €2,400. On the other hand, if you also plan to paint the ceiling, the door and the windows, the baseboards or the woodwork, the price will automatically be revised upwards.
In addition, the estimate may be more expensive also in the case of a finishing coat, filling of cracks. But, the accessibility of the surfaces to be painted, the number of coats to be done as well as the type of paint used will also weigh heavily in the estimate. And these will still be additional expenses, in the event that you subsequently wish to put up a glass cloth or wallpaper.
Now concerning the cost price of paint, vinyl paint is the most affordable on the market. But count on average €6 per liter for medium quality acrylics with a matt finish, otherwise €5 for glycerols. However, if you are looking for very specific products such as water repellent, it will not be less than €10 per liter . Finally, sold at €20, epoxy paints are the most expensive.
