Quick answer: From June 1 through August 31, 2026, 72 completed Smart Fix painting and staining jobs averaged $997.59 companywide.
That sample covers many types of work. It is not the average for one Fort Worth room or a full home.

Current 2026 interior painting ranges
Angi’s April 2026 painting cost guide lists a common national range of $1,000 to $3,000 for a home interior. It lists a broad rate of $2 to $6 per square foot.
Angi also gives these room estimates:
| Room | National cost range |
|---|---|
| Bathroom | $200 to $500 |
| Bedroom | $300 to $750 |
| Kitchen | $570 to $1,210 |
| Living room | $900 to $2,000 |
These are planning ranges, not Smart Fix quotes. Fort Worth labor, room size, paint, and prep can move the price.
How the Smart Fix average fits
The $997.59 average includes companywide painting and staining jobs. Those jobs may cover walls, trim, doors, touch-ups, or staining.
It should not be read as a one-room price. It also does not show what a full-home repaint will cost.
What changes the room price?
- Prep work: Holes, cracks, stains, and peeling paint take time to fix.
- Room size and height: Tall walls and high ceilings need more labor and gear.
- Trim and ceilings: Baseboards, doors, crown molding, and ceilings add surfaces.
- Color change: A major color change may need primer or more coats.
- Paint grade: Better paint often costs more but may cover and wear better.
What should the quote include?
A clear painting quote should list:
- the walls, ceilings, trim, and doors being painted;
- the prep and repairs included;
- the planned coats and paint line;
- who buys the paint; and
- cleanup and furniture moving.
This makes it easier to compare two quotes that may cover different work.
How can you keep the cost in check?
Clear small items from the room before work starts. Pick colors and sheen early. Decide if the ceiling and trim are part of the job.
If several nearby rooms need paint, ask for one combined quote. Shared setup can make the work more efficient.
