Painting Prices in Sugar Land – Transparent Estimates by The Proud Paintbrush

It depends on the size. If you're just painting walls, it could be anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000. If you’re doing walls, ceilings, and trim, you’re likely starting around $5,000 and it can go up to $20,000. The final cost depends on factors like square footage, number of stories, amount of colors, drywall repairs, condition of the current paint, and whether we need to prime—especially when covering dark colors with lighter tones. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but we tailor each estimate to fit the exact needs of your project.

Interior costs vary depending on details like repairs, wall condition, and how many surfaces we’re painting. Exterior pricing is more consistent but still depends on the surface type—brick, stucco, vinyl, or wood—and the amount of prep needed. Brick and stucco often require priming and back-rolling. Vinyl requires vinyl-safe paint. We look for things like wood rot, termite damage, caulking issues, or siding replacement to ensure every factor is considered in your quote.

A small kitchen with a basic brush-and-roll finish can start around $2,000. If you want a fine-finish sprayed look, expect at least double that. Large, high-end kitchens with fine finish can go as high as $8,000 to $10,000. It depends on what you're looking for. We strive to deliver value—balancing your desired finish and budget without cutting corners on quality.

Our rates typically range between $65 to $80 per hour, depending on the crew and scope. This doesn’t include paint, but we don’t mark up paint costs. Most of what you’re paying for is labor, which reflects our training, speed, and quality. It’s all built into the craftsmanship.

It’s cheaper to paint yourself the same way it’s cheaper to do your own plumbing, accounting, or car repairs. But like those, DIY painting comes with risk. Hiring a pro avoids mistakes that could cost more down the road. A professional paint job is more efficient, lasts longer, and often ends up being cheaper in the long run.

It depends on the substrate. For us: walls are around $1.45/sq ft, ceilings about $1.00/sq ft, and trim about $1.00 per linear foot. These numbers sit right around industry averages, but what sets us apart is our consistent quality and the fact that we don't cut corners—especially in prep work.

For smaller homes, you might spend $2,500–$4,000. Medium-sized two-stories typically fall between $4,000–$8,000. Larger or more detailed homes can range from $8,000 to $16,000 or more. It really depends on the size, surface type, and level of detail involved.

Yes. High ceilings cost more—about $1.50 per square foot for ceilings and up to $2.00 for walls. Trim like crown molding also runs higher, often $1.50 per linear foot. Safety precautions and scaffolding setup add time and cost, but ensure the job is done right.

Yes.

About $20 per gallon. If your project uses 20 gallons, that’s roughly a $400 difference. It’s a small price to pay for durability, finish quality, and longevity. We’ll help you decide what’s worth the upgrade.

Our pricing is generally consistent across both. The biggest variable is the client’s specific needs. We accommodate both with the same level of quality and care, using the same per-square-foot structure.

Yes. If you’re flexible with scheduling—like booking in slower months (October or November)—we may be able to offer a discount. It helps us fill our calendar and gives you the same great quality at a lower rate.

Our estimates include all labor, materials, taxes, and our 3-year warranty. No hidden fees. If something changes, we issue a clear change order first. Transparency is key to trust.

Most projects take under 6 days, even large ones. We bring enough painters to get it done efficiently—starting Monday and finishing by Friday. We like having Saturday available just in case.

We offer complimentary color consultations with a professional designer. We believe color is personal—it should reflect who you are. We’ll help you get it just right.

Leave the heavy lifting and high ladder work to us. The best way to help is by removing small, breakable items—picture frames, table decor, etc. That keeps your valuables safe and our crew efficient.

We offer a 3-year warranty on all our work—covering cracking, peeling, and repair failures. We also offer a 5-year warranty upgrade. Around the 5-year mark, it's usually time to repaint anyway, so we time it with your maintenance schedule.

Yes. Most of our products are water-based and low-VOC. We use high-end options like Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane and Gallery water-based lacquer. Beautiful, durable, and safer for your home.

Almost everything is caught during the estimate—we’re experienced enough to spot problems early. If something does come up, we’ll let you know immediately. But surprises are rare. In the past two years, we haven’t had to issue a change order due to hidden issues.

It’s all about prep. Clean, dry surfaces. Proper sanding and priming. Our painters are trained and we stick to products we know inside and out. We only use a few select paints for walls, trim, cabinets, etc.—and that consistency helps us deliver perfect results every time.

We take a $500 deposit to reserve your spot—that locks in your schedule and gives you priority. We usually start 4–6 weeks out. On day one, we collect 40% to cover materials. After the final walkthrough and full satisfaction, we collect the remainder and ask for a 5-star review.
