$400–$800 per room for walls, or $5,000–$15,000 for a whole-home repaint. Real 2026 pricing with full prep, Benjamin Moore or Dulux paint, and a 1-year written warranty. No phone-quote guesses — we measure on site.
Interior painting in North Bay typically costs $400 to $800 per room for standard residential walls in a 10×12 bedroom, or $600 to $1,200 per room when walls, ceiling, trim, and doors are all repainted. A whole-home interior repaint of a 1,500–3,000 sq ft house runs $5,000 to $15,000 all-in, including full prep, drywall repair, primer, and two coats of Benjamin Moore Regal Select or Dulux Diamond. North Bay Painting Services has been quoting interior work since 2016, and we serve a 45-mile radius from North Bay across 17 Nipissing-area communities. Every quote is fixed-price, line-item, and written — no hourly billing, no surprise change orders. The work is led on site by Ahmed Khalil, owner and lead painter, and every job is fully WSIB covered with $2M liability insurance and backed by a 1-year written workmanship warranty. For the full scope of what's included on every interior job, see our interior painting service page.
These are typical fixed-price quote ranges for full-prep work with Benjamin Moore or Dulux paint. Your written quote will land somewhere inside one of these bands.
| Scenario | Price (CAD) | Timeline | What's included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single bedroom repaint 10×12, walls only, 8-ft ceiling | $400 – $800 | 1 day | Wash, sand, patch, caulk, primer where needed, two coats of Benjamin Moore Regal Select or Dulux Diamond, daily cleanup, 1-year warranty. |
| Single room — full repaint Walls + ceiling + trim + doors | $600 – $1,200 | 1–2 days | All of the above plus flat ceiling paint, semi-gloss trim and door enamel, baseboards, casings. Caulk lines refreshed. |
| Multi-room repaint 3–5 rooms, walls + trim | $2,400 – $5,500 | 3–5 days | Furniture moved and protected, hallway and stairwell cut-ins, drywall patching, two coats of Benjamin Moore or Dulux per surface. |

The same room can land at $400 or $1,200 depending on these eight factors. We measure all of them at the on-site visit.
An 8-ft ceiling is one price. A 9-ft, 10-ft, vaulted, or cathedral ceiling needs scaffolding, longer poles, or lifts — and an extra crew member. Expect 15–35% more on cathedral spaces.
Light patching is included. Heavy nail pops, water-stain ceilings, smoke damage, popcorn ceiling skim, or full Level-5 finishes can add $500–$2,500 per room. Older Nipissing-area homes usually need real prep.
Benjamin Moore Ben sits at the entry tier. Regal Select is our default. Aura is the premium tier — denser pigment, hides better, scrubs hardest. Stepping up from Ben to Aura adds roughly $80–$120 per gallon.
Same-colour refreshes go fast. Dark-to-light or red/navy-to-white transitions need a tinted primer plus three coats. Dramatic colour changes can add 20–30% to a room's price.
Walls-only is fastest. Adding baseboards, casings, doors, closets, and built-in shelves adds linear footage and a separate semi-gloss enamel (Benjamin Moore Advance or Dulux Diamond). Often 25–40% of a room's quote.
Empty rooms paint fastest. We move and protect furniture as part of the standard quote, but if you can clear the room yourself you'll save $50–$150 per room. Wall-mounted TVs and pianos stay put and get wrapped in place.
Vacant homes paint 15–20% faster — no morning setups, no daily teardowns, no pets to manage. Pre-listing and pre-move-in projects get our best per-room pricing because the workflow is uninterrupted.
Interior painting in North Bay runs year-round. Late fall through early spring (Oct–April) is our flexible window with faster start dates. Late spring and summer compete with exterior season — book 4–6 weeks ahead.
Before you compare us to another painter, check whether their quote includes these. Most don't.
The questions we hear most often when North Bay homeowners are pricing an interior repaint.
In North Bay and the surrounding 45-mile radius, interior painting runs $400 to $800 per room for a typical bedroom or living room with 8-foot ceilings, walls and trim, and two coats of Benjamin Moore Regal Select or Dulux Diamond. A typical 3-bedroom, 1,500 to 2,000 sq ft house lands at $6,500 to $11,000 for the whole interior. Cathedral ceilings, heavy drywall repair, century homes, and high-touch finishes push you to the upper end of the range.
Per-room pricing is what most homeowners actually want to budget against, because you tend to think in rooms, not square feet. Per square foot makes sense on big open commercial spaces. Per room makes sense in a house. Either way, our final quote is fixed-price and based on a real on-site measure. We do not quote interior repaints by formula. We walk every wall, ceiling, and trim run with you, then email a written line-item quote within one business day.
Yes. Every interior quote from North Bay Painting Services is all-inclusive. That covers paint and primer, drop sheets, masking, sandpaper, caulk, drywall compound, labour, and cleanup. We use Benjamin Moore as our primary line and Dulux as our secondary. The brand and product (Regal Select, Aura, Advance, Diamond) is named on your written estimate so you know exactly what is going on the wall. There are no hidden material charges added later.
A single accent wall in a typical bedroom or living room runs $150 to $300 as a stand-alone job, depending on wall size, ceiling height, and whether the colour is dramatically different from the existing wall. If we are already in the room repainting the other walls, an accent wall is usually $75 to $150 added on top of the room price because the prep is already covered. We will show the delta on the written quote so you can decide.
The biggest cost drivers on the inside of a house are: ceiling height (anything over 9 feet adds time and equipment), drywall repair and patching, dramatic colour changes that need an extra primer coat, painting trim and doors versus walls only, intricate millwork or built-ins, and whether the space is occupied or vacant. Working around furniture and family schedules takes longer than an empty house. We flag every cost driver on the written quote so nothing is a surprise.
One on-site visit. One fixed-price written quote. No hourly billing, no surprise change orders, no phone-quote guessing. Benjamin Moore or Dulux, full prep, 1-year warranty — every job, every time.
