Hello,
What are people paying to have the inside of a mobile home painted professionally these days (Labor Cost). Home is a 16x66 singlewide. Light color beige paint is currently on walls. Holes are repaired already.
Thank you
I priced kilz and paint for the interior of a double wide recently, just the primer and paint was around $500 (15gal). Then there’s the other materials and labor.
Thank you. I should have specified labor cost and I have made the correction to my original post
We charge around $2k for walls paint, all cost.
That includes basic batten and trim repair/replace, holes and previous home-made repairs (not larger than a baseball.
Includes removal of all blinds, closet or laundry shelves, removal and reinstall interior storm windows, every wall light and faceplate.
Also includes caulking every trim and batten, and normal-wear doors and windows jambs repairs.
If the home has the original vinyl covered sheetrock, we apply products to allow the surface to hold the paint.
If the home has a strong cigar or pet odor, we apply also oil based primer.

I pay $1k for a quick spray job. I buy the paint.

I think @AlejandroRiera 's price is fair, especially given the attention to detail and all the extras. Most painter’s I have worked with dont do all those things. At surface, it appears high for a 16x66 SW (smaller sq footage), but if reliable it may make sense.
I know prices today (both labor and mat) are all over the place. With people not wanting to work, it can be a challenge if you try to go to cheap. Increases the “no show” rate, and encourages them to dump you for higher paying jobs. Both scenerios = lost time and money for you.
I’ve found myself overpaying folks in the past 12 months. As a result, much of the time I’ve gotten better, more reliable workers. Now that I’ve been long-winded, my answer here for labor costs only on a 1000 sq ft home would be $1,250 to 1,600. Factors that would move the needle would be # of coats, having to move/cover furniture, or other factors that would eat up painter’s time.

Hello, I’m also currently considering renovating and decorating the interior walls of my house. I’m faced with the dilemma of choosing the right products for painting, and I feel a bit lost. I have come across a paint online that seems promising, but before making a decision, I would like to explore other options to ensure I choose the best one. I would greatly appreciate any advice on recommended paint brands and user-friendly products that deliver high-quality results. Thank you in advance for your valuable assistance!
Do you have a Charge Sheet for your property? A list of everything you order including labor. This spread sheet should be updated every year at a minimum. It also make s sure you always by the exact same replacment items for each unit. We bought a lot of stuff from HD Supply (Home Depot). I could send you an old one of mine if you need an example.
