Southern Style puts a whole interior at $5,500 to $16,000. It says that covers walls, ceilings, baseboards, doors and trim, with labor and materials. Ask each painter which rooms and surfaces a whole-house price includes. See interior painting.
Per square foot: ask which square feet
Both Angi Dallas pages give $2 to $6 per square foot. The interior page ties that to the number of rooms and total surface area. It says higher ceilings, complex trim and accent walls push the price toward $4 to $6.
Square-foot prices can mean floor area or wall area. Southern Style prices labor both ways: $1 to $3 per square foot of surface painted, or $3 to $7 per square foot of floor. Ask which one a quote uses.
Angi’s interior page also prices single surfaces, without labeling them as Dallas figures.
| Surface | Price | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Walls | $1 to $3 per sq ft | Angi, Dallas interior, Aug 2026 |
| Accent wall | $3 to $6 per sq ft | Angi, Dallas interior, Aug 2026 |
| Wall prep: sanding and patching | $0.50 to $0.75 per sq ft | Angi, Dallas interior, Aug 2026 |
| Hard-to-reach areas | $5 to $8 per sq ft | Angi, Dallas interior, Aug 2026 |
Ceilings and trim
Ceilings and trim are often priced on top of the walls. Angi’s two Dallas pages give different figures for both.
| Item | Price | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Ceiling, added to a room | $2 to $6 per sq ft | Angi, Dallas rooms, Jul 2026 |
| Smooth ceiling | $1 to $4 per sq ft | Angi, Dallas interior, Aug 2026 |
| 10-foot ceiling, extra | $1 per sq ft | Angi, Dallas rooms, Jul 2026 |
| Trim, baseboards, crown, windows | $1 to $4 per linear ft | Angi, Dallas rooms, Jul 2026 |
| Baseboard and trim | $2 to $4 per linear ft | Angi, Dallas interior, Aug 2026 |
Angi says standard 8-foot walls cost least, and cathedral ceilings can need scaffolding.
Painter hourly rates
Angi puts Dallas interior painters at $55 to $85 an hour, per painter. Angi says labor is often 75% to 95% of an interior job. Southern Style says 70% to 85%.
| Labor | Rate | Source |

Exterior, for comparison
Angi’s Dallas exterior page gives a $2,311 average, with most homeowners at $1,453 to $3,178. That is $1.05 to $2.95 per paintable square foot.

Southern Style gives a DFW exterior average of $5,963 to $7,712, which matches Improovy’s 2023 figure. See exterior painting.
Older survey data (2023)
Improovy published its Dallas figures on January 21, 2023. They come from an unnamed 2023 survey. The title now says 2024, but the body still cites 2023 data.
- $3.45 per square foot, Dallas average (interior or exterior not stated).
- $643 per room, with labor and materials.
- $5,729 to $7,361 for a whole interior.
- $5,963 to $7,712 for a whole exterior.
- $56 to $83 an hour for house painters.
Southern Style’s $6,487 Dallas average, credited to industry surveys, equals Improovy’s 2023 whole-house average. Treat both as 2023 numbers.
What moves the price
- Room size. Angi calls it the main factor.
- Wall condition. Angi’s Dallas interior page puts drywall repair at about $600 on average. For patch prices, see what drywall repair costs in DFW.
- Paint and finish. Angi says oil-based paint costs more than latex, and glossier finishes cost more.
- Complex surfaces. Ornate trim and cabinetry add $4 to $6 per square foot (Angi, Dallas rooms).
Homes built before 1978: the EPA lead rule
Painting a pre-1978 home can fall under EPA’s lead rule (40 CFR Part 745). EPA says anyone paid to disturb paint in housing built before 1978 must be certified in lead-safe work practices. That includes sole proprietorships.
The rule’s definition of renovation includes surface prep such as sanding and scraping (40 CFR §745.83). Small jobs that avoid the rule’s prohibited or restricted practices count as minor repair, not renovation. Small means 6 square feet or less of painted surface per room inside, or 20 square feet or less outside. Jobs in the same room within 30 days count as one job. Work that involves window replacement or demolishing painted surfaces does not count as minor repair.
Under 40 CFR §745.81, a firm may not perform or offer renovations without EPA certification, unless an exception applies. This covers target housing and child-occupied facilities, which EPA describes as those built before 1978. Texas is not on EPA’s list of states with their own program. EPA says it administers the program in most states. Check a painter in EPA’s firm search tool before you sign.
