How much does a painter cost on average?

The cost of a painter depends on the type of painting work. Interior painting is often cheaper than exterior painting due to the circumstances and preparation.

On average, costs range between €30 and €50 per m² or €35 to €60 per hour. The exact price depends on the substrate, preparation, and finish.

What do the costs depend on?

The final price of painting work is determined by several factors:

Type of painting work

Interior painting is usually cheaper than exterior painting.

Surface area

The larger the surface area, the higher the total costs.

Condition of the subsurface

Poor maintenance or damage requires extra preparation.

Number of layers

More coats of paint result in higher costs.

Material and paint quality

High-quality paint is more expensive but often lasts longer.

Accessibility

Hard-to-reach places such as facades increase costs.

Region and planning

In large cities, rates are often higher, and emergency work may incur additional costs.
