Question for Handymen and Handywomen:
About how much do you think it would cost - alone and professionally - to paint the interior walls of a home that is roughly 1,600 square feet? The walls are average height.

Thanks in advance!

1. It's all about the prep work.
Painting is easy - how much repair, wallpaper removal, fixtures etc

2. I just had an estimate
for 4 rooms and a long hall and it was $750 with me buying the paint and removing all the old wallpaper. Hard to say with regional variations in price though.

4. I think it really depends on the total length of walls more than anything else
