If you’re considering refreshing your space with a new coat of paint, you’re probably wondering how much it will cost to paint a medium-sized room (around 12×13 feet) in Melbourne, FL. The price can vary based on several factors, including whether you’re painting just the walls, adding the ceiling, or including trim work. In this article, we’ll give you clear pricing for professional painting services so you can make an informed decision. Granted while we can’t see your exact room, we can give you a good ballpark of what the cost will be to paint a medium sized room in the Melbourne FL area.
Cost to paint the walls only
For a typical 12×13 room, the cost to paint the walls will be the most affordable option. Professional painters generally charge by the square footage of the surface area to be painted. For walls only, this is what you can expect:
- Price Range: To paint just the walls in a 12×13 room, the cost will generally fall between $450 and $650. This includes all labor and materials (paint, brushes, rollers, and other supplies).
- What’s Included: The price typically covers two coats of paint for the walls, including all surface preparation, such as patching holes, caulking cracks, cleaning, and sanding where necessary.
Cost to paint the walls and ceiling
If you’d like to paint both the walls and the ceiling in your 12×13 room, the price will increase due to the additional surface area and the extra work involved with painting overhead and the additional color change for ceiling white.
- Price Range: For painting both the walls and ceiling, you can expect to pay between $600 and $850.
- What’s Included: This price includes painting the walls, ceiling, and all prep work for both. There will be extra care taken to ensure there are no drips or streaks.
Cost to paint the walls, ceiling and trim
For a more detailed job that includes the walls, ceiling, and trim (baseboards, window trim, door trim, etc.), the price will rise accordingly. Trim work requires more precision, as it involves working around edges and care is taken to create a crisp, straight lines.
- Price Range: The cost to paint walls, ceiling, and trim in a 12×13 room typically ranges between $900 and $1,200.
- What’s Included: This price includes painting the walls, ceiling, and trim, plus any necessary preparation. Painting trim often requires additional time and attention to detail, which is reflected in the overall price.

This is a good “ballpark” for the average room, but there can be other factors that will affect the final cost.
Factors that can influence the cost
Quality of Paint: Higher-end paints or specialty finishes can add to the cost. A better paint will cost more, but it can provide a more durable, long-lasting finish.
Wall Condition: If your walls need extensive prep work, such as patching holes, repairing cracks, or priming before painting, this can increase the cost. The estimate will include basic prep, but more extensive wall repairs will incur additional charges.
Complexity of the Job: If your room has intricate trim or difficult-to-reach areas (like vaulted ceilings), the cost may be on the higher end. Specialized painting techniques will also raise the price.
Timeframe: If you have a rush job, you may need to pay a little more for a crew to be moved from another job. At the same time if you can be flexible in scheduling the project, such as close to holidays, you may receive a discount on the total amount.
