Long punch lists and projects with no fixed scope. Billed by the hour, so the total depends on how long it runs.
What the lower end buys
Eight-foot walls, light filling and two coats in one color make for the simplest bedroom we paint. We tape, cover the floor, cut in the edges by hand and roll the field. Trim, doors and the ceiling stay as they are unless you add them.
What the higher end buys
Raised ceilings, a color change over dark walls, plus trim, doors and baseboards in a big living room carry the top. Cracked plaster in a pre-war house wants filling and spot priming first, and that prep eats more hours than the rolling does.

Biggest price driver
Prep decides this quote. Sound walls need a wipe-down and a little filler. Walls carrying old patches, peeling spots or plaster cracks get scraped, sealed and spot primed, and the sealer has to cure before anyone opens a can of finish paint.
How to keep your interior painting cost down
Sticking to the same color family means two coats cover, and painting walls only leaves the trim for another visit. The room wants emptying, the curtain rods down and the switch plates off before we arrive.
