Average cost for a painting company (average)
The costs of a painting company vary greatly per project. For interior painting you pay an average of 15 to 30 euros per square meter. Exterior painting is more expensive and costs 25 to 50 euros per m2 due to the extra preparation and weather-resistant paint. An average painting project for a terraced house amounts to 2,500 to 5,000 euros for the interior and 3,000 to 8,000 euros for the exterior.
Painting window frames costs 80 to 200 euros each, depending on size and condition. Painting a door costs 60 to 150 euros. Ceilings are relatively cheap at 10 to 25 euros per m2. Wallpapering costs 15 to 35 euros per m2, excluding the wallpaper itself. Wood rot repair varies from 100 to 500 euros per spot, depending on the extent of the damage. In case of severe wood rot, replacement of the frame may be necessary.
Exterior painting protects your woodwork against moisture, sun and frost. If the paint starts to peel or crack, it's time for a new paint job. Don't wait too long, because moisture can cause wood rot, which significantly increases costs. Interior painting is less urgent but makes a big difference in the appearance of your home. Many homeowners have painting done during renovations or before selling.

Exterior painting is more expensive due to the use of weather-resistant paint, scaffolding costs and the extra preparation required.
A lot of sanding, wood rot or old layers of paint that need to be removed increase the preparation time and therefore the costs.
Durable exterior paint or special colors cost more than standard wall paint. High gloss requires more craftsmanship than matte finish.
Work at height requires scaffolding or aerial work platforms, which entails additional costs. Count on 500 to 1,500 euros for scaffolding.
The hourly rate of a painter in 2026 will be between 40 and 65 euros excluding VAT. Many painting companies work with a fixed price per project, which provides more clarity about the total costs.
The interior painting of an average terraced house (100 m2) costs between 2,500 and 5,000 euros. Exterior painting costs 3,000 to 8,000 euros. The total costs depend on the number of rooms, window frames and the condition of the woodwork.
Exterior painting lasts an average of 5 to 7 years. If high-quality paint is used, this can be up to 10 years. Check annually for cracks, peeling paint and wood rot to ensure timely retouching.
Latex (water-based) dries quickly, smells less and is easy to clean. Alkyd (solvent) provides a harder, more durable layer and is better suited for exterior woodwork and window frames. The choice depends on the surface and location.
