ᐅ Material Costs for Painting a New Single-Family Home

Our construction company is charging about 23,000 for the painting work in our planned single-family house with 150 sqm (1,615 sq ft) of living space and a ceiling height of 2.70 m (8 ft 10 in). In the basement, only rough plastering will be done, while in the ground floor and attic, surfaces will be plastered, sanded, covered with textured paint fleece, and painted.

For financial reasons, we will probably have to do it ourselves and plan to use paint fleece instead of wallpaper.

What do you think we should budget for materials? That is, filler, joint tape, corner protectors, primer, paint fleece, and paint? About 10,000?

Thanks for your input. Oh, and how long do you think an amateur would roughly need to complete this? About 4 weeks?

Get a few quotes. It might be that the local painting company can do the whole job for the 10,000.

Just google the prices for the materials you need. For around ten thousand, I’ll gladly do it for you and treat myself to a six-week Caribbean cruise with the earnings.

We will definitely do that! But there are some things we’ll have to handle ourselves… there’s probably no way around it. We definitely want to install our ventilation system as well, which is on the “to-do” list along with a few other tasks.

Alright, I’ll send you a quote. I’m aware that the materials themselves aren’t extremely expensive... but you also have to factor in scaffolding, tools, drywall sander, etc. It’s better to budget a bit more.
