One room or the whole house
A single room costs more per square foot than the same room inside a whole-house job, because setup and cleanup are fixed. Whole-house painting runs room by room, finishing ceilings first, then walls, then trim. Common mixes in Hayward: a bedroom and hallway before a move, or the main living areas of a ranch house.
Patching and prep
- Move and cover. Furniture is pulled to the center and covered, floors are protected.
- Patch. Nail holes, dents and cracks are filled and sanded.
- Prime. Bare patches and stained spots get primer.
- Cut in and roll. Edges first, then the open wall; two coats.
- Trim and doors. Last, with a tougher finish.
Older Hayward homes may have heavy texture and many layers of paint. Sanding an old finish in a home built before 1978 follows the lead-safe practices.
A color change adds coats
Going from dark to light needs primer and an extra coat; bold colors need extra coats too. The calculator adds $0.50 to $1.50 per square foot for dark-to-light or bold colors, and $0.75 to $2.00 for vaulted or two-story ceilings. Rooms are ventilated while paint dries; paints sold in the Bay Area must meet the air district's VOC limits, and many low-odor water-based paints are available.
