Services and starting prices
Every price here is a starting point for a typical job. Your final number comes in writing after we’ve walked through the house, and it stays put unless you add work or approve a repair.
Starting prices assume walls in fair shape, ceilings 8 to 9 feet high, two coats in one color, a mid-grade paint and a house built in 1978 or later. Anything outside that shows up on your estimate as its own line, so you can see why.
Walls, ceilings, trim and doors
One bedroom or the whole house, with the rest of the house kept livable while we work.
From $325 a bathroom, walls only
Scheduling: Year-round. Most single rooms are done in one day.

Siding, trim, soffits, doors and shutters
Wood, fiber cement, stucco and painted brick. Most of the houses we paint outside are older and wood-sided, so prep takes the most hours.

Scheduling: April through October, when days stay above 50°F. A typical house takes 4 to 7 working days, weather allowing.

Before you compare quotes
These are the things we look at during the walk-through. If one of them changes your number, the estimate says which one and by how much.
Peeling paint, cracked plaster, water stains and a wall full of nail holes all mean more prep. Prep is the biggest share of the labor on most jobs, so it moves the price the most.
Stairwells, vaulted ceilings and second-story siding need planks, tall ladders or a lift, and that work goes slower.
Going from a dark color to a light one, or covering a strong red or navy, usually takes a primer coat or a third coat.
An accent wall, a ceiling that isn’t white or trim in a second color each add time for cutting in.
Lead-safe setup adds plastic containment, HEPA vacuuming and a slower cleanup. On a typical interior room it adds $150 to $350. On an exterior, the estimate shows it as its own line.
Starting prices use a mid-grade acrylic that we name on the estimate. If you want a premium line, the estimate shows the difference.
Moving and covering furniture is part of the job. A packed bookcase, a piano or a wall of framed photos takes longer if you want us to handle them.
The written estimate
After the walk-through, your estimate arrives by email within 2 business days. The price on it is what you pay, unless you add work or approve a repair we find along the way.
A 30% deposit holds your start date. The balance is due after the final walk-through, once you’ve signed off on the work. We never ask for the full price up front.
Sometimes scraping turns up soft wood or a failed patch. We stop, show you, and price the repair in writing. Nothing gets fixed or billed until you say yes.
Warranty and insurance
Wet Edge is an EPA-certified lead-safe firm. Every job in a house built before 1978 has a certified renovator in charge. Before work starts you get the EPA lead pamphlet, and we go over how the work area will be sealed off and cleaned.
We carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Both certificates come to you by email before the first day, and we can name you as the certificate holder.
If paint we applied peels, blisters or flakes within 2 years, we come back and fix it at no charge. That covers walls, ceilings, trim, doors, siding and cabinets. It does not cover decks, porch floors, steps or anything else people walk on, and it does not cover damage from water leaks, impact or a house settling.
Looking for a license number? Missouri leaves painting contractors to city and county rules rather than a state license, so there isn’t a state number to put here. We send our insurance certificates before any job starts, and you can ask for them sooner.
Send the estimate request with the rooms or surfaces you have in mind. We’ll set up a walk-through within the week.
