Paint & Finishes in Columbus: What a Real Paint Job Costs in 2026
Interior painting in Columbus runs $3 to $7+ per square foot of wall area, or roughly $2 to $6 per square foot of floor area for a whole-house repaint. For a 2,000 sq ft home, that's a swing from $4,000 to $12,000+. Exterior painting is $2 to $6+ per square foot of siding. The paint itself is often less than 15% of the bill — the rest is prep, labor, and how the painter treats your trim.
