How painting works on doBid in Houston
Painting quotes vary wildly because they depend on prep work as much as paint: are the walls patched, is there texture, is it one color or multiple, are you supplying paint or is the painter? doBid is built so painters can see your photos, scope, and ceiling heights before bidding, and you can compare bids that all reference the same job — not three different versions of what a painter thinks you might want. Payment is held in escrow until the work is finished and you've walked through it.

Painting FAQs
How much does interior painting cost?
A single bedroom typically bids between $250–$500 (walls only) and $400–$800 (walls, ceiling, and trim). Whole-house interior repaints commonly land between $2,500 and $7,000 depending on square footage and prep. doBid bids are scope-specific, so painters quote the actual job, not a per-square-foot rough estimate.
Should I supply the paint or let the painter buy it?
Either works. Many homeowners prefer to supply the paint so they're sure of the brand and finish; many painters prefer to supply it so they can guarantee coverage. Specify your preference in the job post and bids will reflect it.
What kind of prep work is included?
Standard prep is filling small nail holes, light sanding, and taping. Significant patching, wallpaper removal, lead remediation, or skim-coating is extra work — describe what you need so bids include it. doBid does not accept jobs involving lead paint removal (a licensed-trade activity).
Can painters do cabinets and trim?
Yes. Cabinet painting is a specialty though — describe it in your post (number of doors, drawer fronts, sprayed vs brushed) so bidders can quote accurately. Cabinet jobs typically run $1,200–$4,000 depending on kitchen size.
