Collierville Painting Prices for 2026

Collierville painting prices follow national ranges that depend on the type of work. HomeGuide’s 2026 data puts a whole home interior at $3,500 to $10,000 and an exterior at $3,000 to $10,000 for an average 2,000 square foot house. Cabinets and garage floors are priced separately, and your home’s size and condition decide where you land.

A painting price is the installed cost of labor, preparation and materials for a defined list of surfaces. That last part matters most. Two quotes for “painting the house” can describe very different jobs, so every number in this guide comes with the surfaces it covers.

Everything below is national cost data, not a local price sheet. Collierville homes range from older houses near the historic center to larger newer homes with tall ceilings and long trim runs, so treat each figure as a starting range and narrow it with a site visit.

It also helps to split one big wish list into separate projects. A brightened living room, weathered fascia, a kitchen update and a garage slab use different materials and crews. Budgeting them one by one keeps each number honest.

Interior work usually runs $350 to $850 per room in national data, with painters charging $1 to $3 per square foot of surface area. HomeGuide puts a 12 by 12 foot room at about $400 to $950 and an average 2,500 square foot home at $7,500 to $10,000.

Scope moves those numbers more than anything. HomeGuide notes that interior walls run about $1 to $2 per square foot and that prices double when ceilings, baseboards and trim are included. A guest room with sound walls sits low in the range. A two story foyer, a stair wall or a dining room with crown molding sits high.

Before you ask for quotes, decide whether closets, ceilings, baseboards, doors and built ins are in or out. Note water stains, cracks and old hardware holes on a walk through. Rooms with tall windows and open plans also show uneven sheen and old patches more clearly once fresh color goes on, so careful prep there is worth paying for. For a fuller planning checklist, see our interior painting guide for Collierville homes or the Collierville interior painting page.

Exterior prices scale with house size and siding. HomeGuide’s national table lists $3,200 to $10,500 for a 2,500 square foot home and $3,800 to $12,500 for a 3,000 square foot home, including labor and materials.

Larger homes climb from there: about $4,400 to $14,500 for 3,500 square feet and $5,000 to $16,800 for 4,000 square feet in the same data. Siding matters too. HomeGuide lists painting brick at $2.50 to $5.00 per square foot and wood siding at $1.50 to $5.00, with exterior trim at $1 to $4 per linear foot.

On many Collierville homes, brick sits beside painted wood trim, fiber cement, shutters, porch ceilings and garage doors. Each surface needs its own prep and product, so ask that every side of the house and every material be named in the quote. HomeGuide also notes that multi story homes require more paint, labor and equipment than one story houses.

Timing affects the job as well. West Tennessee heat, humidity and summer storms shape the schedule, and a color change may need HOA approval first. Our exterior painting guide for Collierville, the best time of year to paint in Tennessee and the Collierville exterior painting page cover those steps.

Budget them as separate projects with their own national ranges. HomeGuide puts kitchen cabinet painting at $2,000 to $6,500 for an average kitchen and an epoxy floor at $1,600 to $5,800 for a two car garage.

Cabinet pricing depends on the count of doors and drawers, condition, color change and finish. HomeGuide notes that labor makes up 80% to 85% of a cabinet project, which is why prep heavy kitchens cost more. Ask whether boxes, end panels, the island and hardware are included. The Collierville cabinet painting page explains the steps behind a durable finish.

Garage coatings depend on slab size and concrete condition. HomeGuide lists epoxy labor at $3 to $5 per square foot, and notes that concrete resurfacing costs $3 to $7 per square foot when damage is widespread. For a deeper local breakdown, read what a Collierville garage floor coating costs or visit Collierville garage floor coatings.

Mostly because of labor hours and what each quote includes. HomeGuide reports that labor costs alone account for 70% to 85% of an interior paint job, so prep, repairs and detail drive the gap.

Wages set the baseline. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the median annual wage for painters, construction and maintenance was $49,400 in May 2025. HomeGuide puts professional painter rates at $25 to $75 per hour depending on location and experience. A crew that spends an extra day scraping, caulking and priming will cost more, and it should.

Scope gaps explain the rest. One quote may include washing, repairs, primer, two finish coats, trim and cleanup, while another leaves some out. Collierville painting prices are only comparable once you know exactly which surfaces and steps each number covers.

Schedule pressure plays a part too. Spring and early fall are popular for exterior work, so calendars fill quickly. A contractor who is booked out may price a rush job higher, while one with an open week may be more flexible. Asking for quotes a month or two before you want work to start gives you room to compare Collierville painting prices without feeling rushed.

They can, because of lead paint rules and extra prep. The EPA states that approximately three quarters of homes in the United States built before 1978 still contain some lead based paint.

Under the EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule, anyone paid to disturb painted surfaces in homes built before 1978 must be certified and use lead safe work practices. Containment and cleanup add time. Where full removal is needed, HomeGuide lists lead paint removal at $6 to $17 per square foot.

Older homes also tend to have more layers of paint, more caulk joints and more wood repair. None of that is a reason to wait. It is a reason to ask each contractor how they will test, contain and prepare older surfaces before you compare prices.

Sort your projects first, then compare quotes line by line. We call this the Four Bucket Budget:

Then check each estimate for the same items: surfaces and rooms, prep steps, primer, product line and sheen, coat count, protection and cleanup. Materials are part of the picture too. HomeGuide notes that exterior paint costs range from $20 to $80 per gallon depending on quality, brand and finish, so a quote that names the product is easier to judge.

Ask how hidden problems will be handled. A sound estimate explains how extra work, such as rotted wood found during prep, will be identified and approved before anyone starts on it.
