Cost Breakdown: What to Expect When Painting Your Home in Central Arkansas

Ready to Refresh Your Home? Here’s What It’ll Cost You.

If you’re considering giving your home a fresh new look, one of the first questions on your mind is likely: “How much is this going to cost?” Whether you live in Little Rock, North Little Rock, Conway, or Maumelle, this guide breaks down what goes into a residential painting estimate and what you should expect to pay.

Interior vs. Exterior: Two Different Price Ranges

Interior Painting Costs in Little Rock:

  • Walls only: $2.50 – $3.50 per sq. ft.

  • Full-room (walls, ceiling, trim): $3 – $6 per sq. ft.

  • Entire home (1,500–2,500 sq. ft.): $4,500 – $9,500+

Exterior Painting Costs in Central Arkansas:

  • One-story home: $2,000 – $8,000

  • Two-story home: $6,000 – $15,000+

  • Brick home painting (additional prep required): $5,000 – $10,000+

Pro Tip: Brick and textured surfaces require more labor and paint, increasing the cost.

What’s Included in a Residential Painting Estimate?

A quality estimate should include:

  • Prep work (pressure washing, patching, sanding)

  • Primer and topcoat(s)

  • Labor and materials

  • Cleanup and inspection

Be cautious of quotes that seem too low — they may cut corners or skip essential prep work that ensures durability.

Why Little Rock Pricing May Vary

Local factors like labor availability, seasonal demand, and home style can affect your total investment. Homes in older neighborhoods or historic districts may require more prep, while newer homes in Conway or Maumelle might be quicker to complete.
