Painting (interior)
The time it takes to paint a room depends on several factors, including the size of the room, the number of coats needed, surface preparation, and drying time. Here’s a general breakdown for an experienced painter:
- Small Room (10x10 ft): 4-6 hours
- Medium Room (12x12 ft): 6-8 hours
- Large Room (16x16 ft or more): 8-10+ hours
Time Breakdown
✅ Preparation (1-2 hours) – Taping, patching, sanding, and priming if needed.
✅ Cutting In (1-2 hours) – Painting edges, corners, and trim before rolling.
✅ Rolling Paint (1-3 hours per coat) – First coat and a second if needed.
✅ Drying Time Between Coats (1-2 hours per coat) – Depends on paint type.
✅ Cleanup (30 minutes - 1 hour) – Removing tape, and final touch-ups.
If multiple coats, ceiling painting, or accent walls are involved, the job may take longer.
Bathroom Remodel
Typical Timeline
- Cosmetic Remodel (New Paint, Fixtures, Vanity, No Major Changes) – 1-2 weeks
- Standard Remodel (Replacing Tub/Shower, Flooring, Tile Work, Minor Layout Changes) – 3-4 weeks

Time Breakdown
✅ Demolition: 1-3 days

Unexpected delays (permits, material availability, or unforeseen issues) can extend the timeline, so it’s always good to plan for buffer time. A well-organized contractor can complete most remodels in 4-6 weeks.
