Ray Gomez has been painting for over twenty years. On Houston, TX jobs he does the walkthrough himself, so the person pricing your interior house painting project is the person who has to stand behind it. Nobody in the middle is guessing at your house. Hablamos español on the job site.
Everything inside the house, handled.
Drywall repair, wallpaper removal and surface preparation through to precise brush and roller work. Repainting one room, updating an open-concept layout or turning a rental over, it is the same six jobs in different amounts.
Wall painting
Clean, even coverage that transforms a room.
We patch, prime and apply Sherwin-Williams paint that stands up to daily wear. Refreshing one wall or redoing a whole house, you'll get crisp lines, consistent color and a clean site when we leave. Walls are where most of the surface area is, so they are also where the preparation work shows up most.
Cabinet painting
A kitchen upgrade without replacing the boxes.
Cabinets get cleaned, degreased and sanded, then take a sprayed finish on site with the area contained, and everything is reassembled at the end. Bright whites or bold colors, at a fraction of what replacement costs. Soft-close hinges can be fitted wherever the cabinets take them.

Brightens a room and covers years of wear.
Ceilings take a flat, splatter-resistant formula for a reason: anything with sheen in it picks up every roller mark and every ripple that's in the drywall. We protect the surrounding surfaces first, then lay it on evenly. Ceiling painting is also where water stains from an old leak finally disappear.
Trim painting
Doors, baseboards, crown molding and windows.
Details are what separate a professional finish from a weekend one, and they're where the hours go. We sand, prime and apply a durable finish that resists chipping and holds its line against the wall color. Trim painting is slow work over a small surface area, which is why it moves a quote more than its square footage suggests it should.
Drywall repair
A smooth wall starts with a solid surface.
We fill the cracks, patch the holes, sand the seams and spot-prime the repairs before any paint goes near them. Dents, water damage or ordinary wear all get made good first. Drywall repair is the difference between a repaint that looks new and one that's obviously fresh paint over old damage.
Sanding and carpentry
The preparation work nobody photographs.
Sanding, caulking and light carpentry: repairing trim, baseboards or damaged sections before painting begins. This is the part that decides whether your paint job still looks right in year three, and it's the line item we never cut to hit a lower number.
Take it from the people who've hired us.
An EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm, and why that matters indoors.
Interior work disturbs more paint than exterior work does, in a smaller volume of air, in the room where your family sleeps. That is the whole reason the federal rule exists. Anyone paid to perform work that disturbs paint in housing built before 1978 has to be certified in lead-safe work practices, and it's the firm that holds the certification.
We hold it. Ask every painting company you're quoting for their EPA firm certification number and check it before you sign anything. It exists or it doesn't.
On the walkthrough Ray will tell you which side of 1978 you're on, before it changes anything about the price.
Ray is super informative, very professional with a positive attitude! Rise and prime does amazing work in a timely manner.

Walkthrough, preparation, paint, walkthrough again.
Five steps, and the first and last are Ray's personally on Houston jobs.
The Houston walkthrough is Ray’s
On Houston jobs Ray measures the rooms himself, looks at the wall condition, checks what the last coat is doing and asks what you want the space to feel like. Then he writes the scope, the product and the price down.
Everything gets covered
Furniture moved and covered, floors protected, fixtures masked. The room's set up before a single lid comes off, and that's the part that keeps your house clean. The cleanup at the end is just the last bit.
Preparation, which is most of the job
Patching, filling, sanding the seams, caulking and spot-priming the repairs. Nobody photographs this part and it's the one that decides how the paint looks in year three.
Cut in, roll, detail
Cut lines by hand, walls rolled out, ceilings laid off flat, trim and doors finished last. Sherwin-Williams products, matched to the surface they're going on.
We walk it together before we leave
A final walkthrough with you before the project closes out, so punch-list items get handled rather than noticed later. Complete cleanup after the project, and the work carries the 3-Year Workmanship Warranty.
What changes from one room to the next.
Interior painting is priced per room for a reason. Each kind of space eats time somewhere different, and that is where the number moves.
Bedrooms
The rooms people repaint first.
Usually the easiest rooms in the house to price, because the walls are sound and the furniture can be moved to the middle. Closets and interior doors are counted separately, because each one is mostly cut lines with barely any roller work. An accent wall is a small change with a big effect and it barely moves the number, so it's the cheapest thing on this page.
Living rooms and open plans
Big surfaces, and usually the tall ones.
Open-concept layouts are where ceiling height starts deciding the price. Anything above nine feet means staging, and a two-story entry or a vaulted living room means real access work before a brush moves. The upside is that one color choice carries a lot of house, so you're making fewer decisions.
Kitchens and bathrooms
Wet rooms, and the cabinets in them.
Kitchens and bathrooms want a finish that takes cleaning without burnishing, and both are usually painted around fixtures that can't move. Cabinet painting is priced and quoted as its own job, and it can be quoted alongside the rooms.
Stairwells and hallways
The hardest access in most houses.
A two-story stairwell wall is tall enough that reaching the top of it safely is a different job from painting a bedroom with a stepladder. Hallways look small on a floor plan but carry more door frames and corners per square foot than most rooms do.
Whole-home interior painting
One cohesive upgrade, priced as one job.
Ceilings to baseboards, in one pass, with one setup. A whole-home interior repaint is the best value per square foot we sell, because the masking and protection happen once instead of five times. It's also the right moment to fix the drywall you've been living with.
Getting a house market-ready
Neutral, fast and photographs well.
Selling changes the brief. The colors want to be neutral without being cold, the finish wants to photograph flat, and the timeline is usually shorter than a forever-home repaint. Tell us the listing date at the walkthrough and we'll build the schedule backwards from it.
Interior painting projects start around $1,000.
That is Ray's own framing, and it is published here so you can plan before anyone visits.
It's a qualifier and not a bargain. Below that line the setup, the masking and the travel cost more than the paint does, so we'd be charging you for our own overhead. Above it the price follows room count, ceiling height, wall condition and how much preparation work sits in front of the color. Cabinet painting is quoted separately and starts at $3,000.
You'll get a free estimate with the scope written out and the Sherwin-Williams product named on it. Want a number before you call? Move the answers below and the range moves with them.

Interior house painting questions.
How much does it cost to paint inside a house?
Interior painting projects with us start around $1,000, and that figure is a qualifier, not a bargain. Past it, the price follows room count, ceiling height, the condition of the walls underneath and how much preparation work the surfaces need before any color goes on. You get a free estimate with the scope written out, usually on the spot during the walkthrough, and that price is fixed for the scope you agree on. Anything outside it is a change order you decide on, not something that turns up later.
How much should it cost to paint the interior of a 2,000 sq ft house?
A 2,000 square foot house is a range and not a number, because two houses that size can sit thousands of dollars apart. Ceiling height decides how much staging is involved. Wall condition decides how many hours of patching sit in front of the paint. How many colors you pick decides how many cut lines there are. Ray measures yours and writes the real figure down, and the painting cost calculator on this site will get you close before he does.
What would a painter charge to paint a 12 by 12 room?
One 12 by 12 room on its own is priced at our $1,000 residential project minimum whenever the room itself would come in under that figure. Several rooms quoted together are priced as one painting project, and the painting cost calculator gives a ballpark before anyone visits.
Do I need a lead-safe certified painter for my house?
If your home was built before 1978 and the work disturbs paint, then yes, federally. The EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting rule says anyone paid to do that work in pre-1978 housing must be certified in lead-safe work practices. Rise and Prime Painting is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm. Ask any painter quoting your older Houston home for their firm certification number before you compare prices.
Do Texas painters need a state license?
Texas does not issue a state painting contractor license, so the word tells a Houston homeowner very little. Three things are worth checking on the professional painters you're considering. A certificate of insurance with their name on it and current dates. An EPA Lead-Safe firm certification, which is federal and which they either hold or don't. And the warranty in writing with its term on it, before you sign. We carry all three and we'll send them over without being asked twice.
When is the best time to paint the interior of a house?
Any time you're ready, because interior painting isn't weather work. A climate-controlled house paints the same in February as it does in July. What decides the timing is whether the rooms can be cleared enough to work in.
Who is the best interior house painter near me?
Nobody can answer that for you, so compare these instead. Ask who's doing the walkthrough and whether that person will be accountable for the price. Ask for the EPA firm certification number, the insurance certificate and the written warranty term. Ask what product is going on which surface and whether it's named on the quote. Reliable house painters put all of this in writing before they start. On our Houston jobs Ray Gomez does the walkthrough himself, and everything above is on paper before you sign.
Is painting the inside of my home worth it?
A fresh interior changes how a house looks and feels faster than anything else you can spend the same money on, whether you're settling in, getting ready to sell, or simply tired of the color. New paint covers wear, brightens rooms that have gone flat and modernizes a space without a renovation. We'll help you pick colors that suit the light your rooms get.
What kind of paint do you use for interior projects?
Sherwin-Williams, matched to the surface it is going on. Emerald is the premium line for walls, trim and cabinets. SuperPaint and Duration each earn their place on the right substrate. Ceilings take a flat, splatter-resistant formula so the finish doesn't pick up every roller mark. Which one your rooms get is part of what the walkthrough decides, and the product name goes on your quote.
How long does it take to paint the interior of a home?
Painting a house interior takes as long as the preparation work in front of it takes, and a sound set of walls moves quickly. Walls that need patching, wallpaper removal or a popcorn ceiling coming down all add days before any color appears. Ray gives you the schedule with the quote, measured on your own rooms, and you'll know which of those you've got before we start.
Do you move furniture and protect floors?
Yes, and it is in the price. We move what needs moving, cover what stays, protect the floors and put the room back together before we leave. Point out anything fragile or irreplaceable at the walkthrough and we'll agree how it gets handled. Complete cleanup after the project is part of the job.
What is your minimum project size?
Most professional interior painting projects begin around $1,000. That's Ray's own framing and it exists so we can quote honestly. It's applied as a floor and never quoted as a price: the estimate gets worked out on your actual rooms, and the minimum only comes into it if the computed figure lands below the line.
What does the warranty cover, and for how long?
The 3-Year Workmanship Warranty comes in writing and starts the day the project is completed. It covers failures caused by our workmanship on surfaces we prepared and painted: premature peeling, blistering or flaking from improper application. It doesn't cover water intrusion, structural movement, substrate failure, existing coatings failing underneath ours, mold, wear and tear, impact, or a manufacturer's product defect.
Let's paint your space.
Walls, ceilings or cabinets, a single room or the whole house. We protect your floors and furniture, name the product on the quote, and leave the place cleaner than a paint job has any right to leave it.
As a full-service painting company we handle interior and exterior painting together. Painting the outside too? We quote exterior house painting in Houston as one project with this, so you'll only pay to set up once. Trying to pick a sheen first? Start with the best paint finish for walls. Tackling the trim yourself first? Read how to paint trim before you start.
