Southwest Florida Painting Cost Guide: Naples, Bonita Springs & Fort Myers

A clear breakdown of interior and exterior painting costs across Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, and Fort Myers — including the factors that move the price.

Painting costs in Southwest Florida vary based on home size, surface condition, paint quality, and the level of prep required. This guide breaks down typical ranges for Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, and Fort Myers homeowners so you can plan with confidence.

Interior painting in a Naples home generally runs between $3 and $7 per square foot of floor space when walls, ceilings, trim, and doors are included. A 2,000 sq ft home typically lands between $6,000 and $14,000 depending on ceiling height, cabinet work, and how many accent colors are used.

Exterior painting in Bonita Springs and Estero typically ranges from $4,500 to $12,000 for a single-story home and $8,000 to $20,000 for two-story properties. Stucco repair, pressure washing, and high-grade elastomeric coatings designed for Florida humidity will shift the final number.

In Fort Myers and Cape Coral, popular add-ons like cabinet refinishing ($2,500–$6,500), epoxy garage floors ($4–$9 per sq ft), and roof coatings ($1.50–$3.50 per sq ft) are priced separately from standard wall painting.

Three factors move pricing the most: home size and ceiling height, surface prep (drywall repair, stucco patching, sanding, priming), and paint grade. Premium Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore lines cost more upfront but extend repaint cycles by years in coastal climates.

Labor is the largest line item on most quotes. Licensed and insured crews in Southwest Florida typically price by scope rather than hourly, which protects homeowners from surprise overages and ensures the prep work is built into the estimate.

When comparing quotes, look beyond the headline price. Confirm the number of coats, the paint brand and line, the prep included, and whether trim, doors, and ceilings are part of the scope. A $1,000 spread between two bids almost always traces back to one of these items.
