    There are many factors that would have to be considered. Do you mean for a professional painter to paint or is it DIY? How many people working on it? Same color on the ceiling and walls or different? Is the trim new or is it a repaint? Same color or different if a repaint?

    I base the amount of time on the condition of the room and surfaces and the sq footage of the room. EX: A 10x10 room just needing repainting ceiling and trim all the same color.$2.00 a sq ft. = $200

    Just me working as a part-time handyman for customer. I will tape old paper to upper walls to prevent spatter & maybe use duct tape on large stone fireplace. Don't have ceiling dimensions yet. Besides tape preparation time, can I multiply a certain factor X sq. ft. Bill

    Depends on how fast and efficient you are. Roller or sprayer? I usually charge by the hour, they supply the paint.
