I would certainly recommend that you consider painting your interior yourself. It would save you a considerable amount of money, and as others are saying, it is a very do-able job, though if you are planning on painting the whole interior of your house, that's a big project to take on, and will take a lot of time and effort.

I wouldn't know how much it would cost to hire a professional, but you're probably looking at least 1-2 days labour per room, plus materials, plus extras. For a whole house this could add up to a huge amount. If you do decide to go down this route, I'd say to get several detailed quotes first. Know as much as you can about what you're getting with regards to preparation, quality of materials, how many coats etc. Ask questions, and ask for references. Any reputable contractor would provide you with a list.
