How much would a painter charge to paint a 12X12 room?
For a 12x12 room, painting typically costs $300–$600 depending on the ceiling condition and wall preparation required.
Here's how we price interior painting in Kitchener-Waterloo:
- Unpainted popcorn ceiling: $4.50/sqft all-inclusive (removal + 2 skim coats + primer + 2 coats paint)
- Latex-painted ceiling: $6.50/sqft all-inclusive
- Oil-base painted ceiling: $7.50/sqft all-inclusive
A 12x12 room equals 144 sqft. If your popcorn ceiling contains asbestos (common in Ontario homes built before the 1980s), we recommend testing first at $300–$500 before removal. Ontario regulations require proper handling of asbestos-containing materials.
Our pricing includes all labor, materials, primer, and multiple coats. Since 2019, we've completed 500+ homes across the region, fully insured ($2M) and WSIB covered.
