Price

What drives the cost of interior painting in Royal Oak

  • Square footage of walls and ceilings and the number of rooms
  • Ceiling height, stairwells and hard-to-reach areas
  • Amount of patching, plaster repair or skim coating
  • Color changes that need extra coats or primer
  • Trim, doors and windows included or left out
  • Paint line and sheen chosen
  • Lead-safe work practices in homes built before 1978
  • Occupied home with furniture versus an empty house
  • The age of the home: the typical Royal Oak home was built around 1956, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Royal Oak

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Royal Oak was built around 1956. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

61% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Royal Oak building department before work starts.

Compare quotes

How to compare interior painting quotes

  • Get at least three written quotes that list the same rooms, surfaces, coats and paint line.
  • Ask how they handle plaster cracks and whether repairs are priced separately.
  • For a pre-1978 home, ask for the EPA firm certification and check it on the EPA firm search.
  • Ask for proof of liability insurance and any workers compensation coverage.
  • Confirm the start date, daily work hours and who does the final cleanup.
