I had Investment Painters paint the entire inside of a 2BR CYV and they were done in about 8 hours. They removed all the blinds, masked all the trim, covered everything with drop clothes, and four guys were done in a day. At the time they charged a $1 a square foot. They have painted more homes than anyone else in TV. You can read about them here.

Price could depend if the home is vacant or not, too.

They did my house just a couple of months ago for about that. Mine was only the walls (no trim) and used the same color throughout. I also didn't bother having the closets done.

You can't go wrong with Investment, truly.

hey many of us did this stuff all our lives...just suck it up and pay the going rate...you'll be very happy with the results
and it will take 1/4 the time that it would have taken you...and the best part...no chance of injury, and the wife will be
happy

I used Investment Painters once a few years back. They did a good job generally but they also painted over a few forgotten nails in the walls, and over all door hinges. I thought that was odd, but perhaps that's how they all do it?
