Rates and pricing structures
We aim to educate you so you can plan the service and so we can meet expectations even before the technical visit.
The rates we provide at Propiedades.cr are per day, per hour or per square meter. The most common residential projects are calculated per sqm, although jobs with many corrections often use an hourly rate.
An experienced painter usually charges between ₡12,000 and ₡22,000 per hour, depending on difficulty, height and required tools.
Targeted work such as painting a door, gate or a piece of furniture can cost between ₡48,000 and ₡90,000 depending on the finish and the necessary protection and drying time.
To paint a full home, the typical range is ₡1,100 to ₡2,700 per sqm, varying by smooth latex paint, specialty enamels or decorative finishes.
Façades and exterior surfaces usually require waterproof or elastomeric paints, with rates ranging from ₡3,000 to ₡6,000 per sqm, plus scaffolding and safety equipment.
Remember these are approximate references. Location, wall condition, number of coats and ease of access can change the final budget.

Frequently asked questions
What is the payment method?
Once you approve the quote including scope, materials and delivery times, we require a 40% upfront payment to start. The remaining amount is paid upon completion.
What factors influence a painter’s quote?
Final cost combines labor, travel and materials. Labor is usually quoted per sqm or per day (roughly ₡12,000–₡25,000 per sqm depending on complexity). Travel can add ₡18,000–₡60,000 depending on distance, standard latex paint averages around ₡3,000 per sqm, and decorative or high‑gloss finishes can exceed ₡12,000 per sqm.
How do I calculate the square meters to paint and paint quantity?
Measure each room: length × width for the ceiling, and width × height for each wall panel. Add the totals and subtract openings larger than 8 sqm, because protecting them takes more time than painting them. With that you can estimate the liters of paint needed and ensure the budget covers all surfaces.
How much can the price vary depending on the finish?
A 30 sqm room with smooth latex in one color is around ₡180,000. If you choose a decorative stucco, the investment can approach ₡310,000 and, if you also need to remove texture, skim coat and repaint, the project can exceed ₡400,000. Additional coats, sealers and drying times also impact labor.
Are materials and tools included?
At Propiedades.cr we coordinate paint, sealers and specialized tools. You can indicate preferred brands or let our team propose options based on the use of each space. We always protect floors, furniture and baseboards before starting to avoid stains or damage.
Can you work weekends or extended hours?
Yes. Depending on crew availability and condominium or mall regulations, we can schedule Saturday/Sunday or after‑hours shifts for active premises. Please book in advance, as these slots are in high demand and may carry a small logistics surcharge.
