    Too hard to answer. How high up? How intricate is trim? Make yourself happy and bid comfortably.

    Why too broad, we need to know so much more like sq/ft, number of coats, type of paint, surface condition, number of doors, windows and is there trim top and bottom. Since you are asking we must assume you have not been a professional painter so your rates should reflect and great price. I'd ballpark it at $0.75 sq/ft for the whole show, you will learn from this experience if this will keep you in the black.
