Painting the interior of a house. What it costs.

Painting the interior of my house was something that I had thought that I would DIY. Turns out I underestimated exactly how much work it was going to be. In the video I said that the painters quoted $17K but the final bill actually ended up being $20K. If you're thinking about painting your entire house DIY I would reconsider because I firmly believe it is a job for professional painters.

LOVE your videos! Thanks for making them. Can’t wait to see the progress on the new house, I always learn a ton.

Hey thanks Celina! I hope to provide useful info so your feedback is awesome! Let me know if there’s anything else I can do in the videos to make them even more informative!

Thanks for taking the time to explain a little bit of what goes into “painting a house.” I’m a professional painter & fine finisher and we do a LOT of work that people don’t even think about to ensure enamel & stained/cleared woodwork look and feel smooth as glass by the time we spray our final coats 👌🏻
Props to you for tackling as much of this project as you can by yourself. That is no small feat. Wise, too, to call in people who do this for a living to save you time, energy, & countless headaches (except for headaches brought on by hangovers, lol). Keep it up! 💪🏻💪🏻

Seriously people need to know how much work you do to paint a new build. It’s impressive and highly skilled! Definitely NOT a DIY project under any circumstance.

Can’t wait to see your finished house, looks like it’s going to be amazing, enjoying all your videos your humour is just how I like it DRY. Totally agree to get professionals in you need that finish on a project like that with everything bare it just soaks up the paint and needs 3/4 coats on everything and I think if you loose enthusiasm as it’s so overwhelming you loose the great finish it deserves xx

[@RinkVideo]

Isn't that the truth: especially losing enthusiasm or the drive to finish like you started.

Good Job buddy!
Have a Great day!

[@amandateague5146]

I was wondering where you had been! Glad to see you back on here!

[@RinkVideo]

I’m back! Thanks for watching Amanda.

[@yeahivekilledthat719]

That is money well spent for all that painting. Also, having a DIY channel with a hangover should be a trend. LOL.

[@DancesWithBeauty]

I love your videos!!

[@RinkVideo]

Thanks Jackie B!

There’s also a big difference between a $20 spraygun and a $13 tip off Amazon and a pro level $400 spraygun with a $50 tip so if you’re thinking about DIY you need to factor in those costs as well

[@PaigeSchoepp]

Painting is one of those things. You know you “can” do it, the question is always “should” you do it.

[@RinkVideo]

Darn I wish I could have used that line in the video! So true and the perfect way to explain it.

[@chrisgoosebrooks638]

That’s about right. $1000-$1500 /day for an experienced painter. Anyone can spay paint. You’re paying for the prep. I’d charge about the same price and it would take me and an experienced helper 6 days

[@javery]

You make me laugh. 😃 I work for a paint contractor; it’s shocking how much prep and precision need to be done-preferably done correctly!

[@thomasshorter1251]

I'm a painter and I agree

[@MsRobinRae]

Keep the videos rolling!!!

[@thischosenlife7626]

Oh yes… I’ve actually done this. Took me 8000 yrs and all of my sanity to finish a new house. -ITS WORTH THE $$$$!

[@RinkVideo]

Oh wow, you’re hardcore!

[@chrisgoosebrooks638]

Dap caulking is garbage . I’d only use dap for hud housing

[@brentsizemore2392]

Well buddy you’re gonna get much paid for and it’s probably gonna be a good job

[@ThriveTalesTV]
