Why booking both together costs less

A contractor pricing two separate jobs carries two lots of mobilisation: quoting, scheduling and getting a crew to your address twice rather than once. Combined, that overhead happens once, paint is bought in a larger quantity, and a crew already on site for the interior has no gap to price around before starting the exterior. It is reasonable to ask for a combined price below the two quoted separately, in Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom or anywhere else.

Common questions

How much does it cost to paint a whole house in Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom?

Roughly $2,450 to $3,700 inside and $1,950 to $2,900 outside for a 2,000 square foot home in Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom. Booking both together usually comes in below the sum of the two.

Is it cheaper to book interior and exterior together in Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom?

Usually, because mobilisation and quoting happen once instead of twice. This is true in Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom and everywhere else, since it is about the contractor's overhead rather than the local market.
