Most painters hide their numbers. We don't. Here are realistic 2026 cost ranges for every service we offer in the Naples area — by project size, by line item, by what we actually charge. Final price comes from a written estimate after we walk your project, but these ranges set the expectations.
Most interior projects in Naples run $3 to $7 per square foot of painted surface for walls, ceilings, and trim using premium acrylic paint (Sherwin-Williams Emerald or Benjamin Moore Aura). The wide range reflects prep needs, ceiling height, texture, and color complexity. See our cost guide article for what changes the number.
Exterior projects in Naples are priced by the combination of square footage, stucco condition, prep needs, and detail work. Coastal-exposed homes in Marco Island, Port Royal, or Bonita Bay typically run on the higher end due to additional prep and salt-rated systems. See our exterior paint guide.
Cabinet refinishing is typically 25–40% of the cost of replacement for a similar visual upgrade. Doors and drawer fronts are removed and sprayed in a controlled environment; cabinet boxes are sprayed on-site. See our refinishing vs replacement guide for the full decision framework.
Commercial projects vary widely by scope, access requirements, after-hours premiums, and phasing. The ranges below are typical for Naples-area HOA common areas, retail, office, and small commercial property repaints. Maintenance contracts for property managers are priced separately by portfolio.
All our epoxy systems are full flake broadcast with a polyaspartic topcoat — engineered for 15–25 years of service in Naples conditions. Pricing depends on slab condition, square footage, and any crack or moisture remediation needed prior to coating.
Two homes the same size on the same street can get bids hundreds or thousands of dollars apart for legitimate reasons. Here are the variables that move the number, before any contractor is cutting corners.
Two-story homes and high ceilings have 25–40% more paintable surface than the listing area suggests.
One color throughout is fastest. Multiple colors add cut-ins, masking, and spray gun changes — up to 40% more labor.
9-foot ceilings are ladder work. 14-foot great rooms and 22-foot stairwells need scaffolding or lifts.
Smooth drywall takes paint cleanly. Knockdown, orange peel, and especially popcorn ceiling hold more paint and take longer.
Filling nail holes is included. Wallpaper removal, settling cracks, water damage, and popcorn scraping are chargeable line items.
Premium acrylics (SW Emerald, BM Aura) cost $300–600 more in materials per home but last years longer than builder-grade.
Vacant homes are 15–25% faster. Occupied homes need furniture moves and daily reset, which is fine — we plan for it.
Gulf-facing or canal-front homes get coastal-rated systems with chloride neutralizer wash and stronger UV inhibitors.
If a bid comes in well below the ranges above, ask these questions before you sign. The savings is usually paid back in failures within 2–3 years.
Two coats is standard. One-coat jobs leave thin spots that show through within a year and fail to give the warranty-eligible film build.
"Sherwin-Williams paint" is not specific enough. There's a 5x cost gap between SuperPaint and Emerald. Get the product line in writing.
Some bidders quote the painting itself and then bill caulking, patching, and primer as change orders after the job starts. Verify what's included up front.
Every project we do comes with a written multi-year warranty. Many cheap-bid painters won't put anything in writing. If it's not on paper, it doesn't exist.
If a painter falls off your ladder without workers' comp, you can be held liable. Ask for a current certificate of insurance — we provide ours on request.
A signed written scope and licensed business protect both sides. Cash-only arrangements often skip licensing, insurance, and warranty.
Most Naples interior projects run $3 to $7 per square foot of painted surface. A single 10x12 bedroom typically falls between $450 and $900; a 1,800 sq ft home walls and ceilings runs $4,500 to $8,500; a 3,200 sq ft full interior is $8,000 to $16,000.
A single-story 1,800–2,400 sq ft home typically runs $5,500 to $9,500. A two-story 2,800–3,500 sq ft home runs $9,500 to $16,000. Larger estates start at $14,000 and go up depending on stucco condition and detail work.
A small Naples kitchen with 15 doors and 6 drawers runs $3,500 to $4,800. A mid-size kitchen with 25 doors and 10 drawers runs $4,800 to $7,200. Large kitchens with two-tone finishes run $7,200 to $10,500. Bathroom vanities are $1,200 to $1,800.
Full flake epoxy systems with polyaspartic topcoat run $7 to $12 per square foot. A 2-car garage (400–500 sq ft) is typically $2,800 to $4,500. A 3-car garage (600–750 sq ft) is $4,200 to $6,500.
Because hiding pricing wastes everyone's time. Honest ranges let you decide if N. Wage Painting is in your budget before scheduling an in-home visit. Your final price is set by written estimate after we walk your project — these ranges set realistic expectations.
No. These are typical ranges for the Naples market. Your specific project price is set in writing after we walk it. Prep work, ceiling height, texture, colors, occupied vs vacant home, and accessibility all change the final number. The estimate we send is the price we honor.
We don't play the discount-game pricing that some painters use ("normally $8,000, this week only $4,500!"). We quote fairly the first time. If you're bundling multiple services or have a large project, we can absolutely look at the total scope and find efficiencies.
We accept all major credit cards, ACH transfer, and check. Most projects are split into a deposit at signing plus completion payment when the final walk-through is approved. Payment terms are in your written estimate.
The ranges above are good. The number for your specific project, in writing, is better. Free, within 24 hours, no pressure.
