Most families get their interiors done when they move into a new house. They do not change it unless there is a dire need of renovations. However, painting is an activity that needs to happen once in a couple of years. Not only does painting give your home a fresh look, it also helps maintain the walls of the house. Naturally, everyone is interested in the cost of painting a house per square foot India.

Various factors come into play while arriving at this costing, like types of paint, labour charges, area and others. Moreover, due to this complexity, homeowners tend to make errors of judgement in selecting types of paint.

So here’s a detailed guide on what choices are involved, how much investment it implies and how each of these factors affect the cost of painting a house so that you budget well!

The cost of painting exteriors is lesser, but the process is more cumbersome, what is the surface that is being painted? This is the most important question to be answered. The cost of exterior paint is lesser than interior paint. However, the process of exterior painting is cumbersome as you may need to use scaffolding or a ladder pulley. experts say, more coats of paint and an extensive sanding/levelling process are required for exteriors as they are often more weather-beaten.

The condition of the walls is the next factor that comes into play here. A fresh coat of paint needs 1-2 coats of putty, 1 coat of primer and at least 2-3 coats of paint. However, for a repaint, you need touch-up putty and primer coupled with 1-2 coats of paint. Wall punning is recommended for the higher range (luxury) paints as it enhances the look by covering up undulations on the wall. Naturally, fresh painting costs more than repainting a home.

Estimate and coverage area of wall putty,primer & paint

Consider we have 2000 sq ft area of new plastering wall and ceiling both interior and exterior and we have to do painting over it.

First of all, there are various types of Wall Putty in the market. So to answer this question, I will assume you have asked regarding White Cement Based Wall Putty like; Birla Wall Care Putty, J.K. Wall Putty, White Gold Wall Putty, etc.

Second most important factor to calculate the requirement of wall putty is surface of plastered walls. If the plastered wall has very rough finish, you might be needed to do 3 coats of Wall Putty for perfect wall finish.

If the surface finish is acceptable & there are no major undulation in your walls; you can roughly assume consumption of approximately 12–15 sq. feet per kg for 2 coats of wall putty & 8 – 12 sq feet per kg for 3 coats of Wall Putty.
