What affects the price

When you get a quote for exterior painting, the total depends on a few practical things. The size and height of your home are the biggest factors—a multi-story house takes more time and safety equipment. The current condition of your siding also matters; if there is significant peeling, wood rot, or mold, that area needs extra prep work before a brush ever touches it. Choosing high-end paint products or changing your color scheme entirely can also shift the final bill. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Gouache is an opaque, water-based paint known for its matte finish and rich pigments, often used by illustrators and fine artists. Because it is water-soluble, it is not suitable for exterior walls where it would wash away during the first rainstorm. Our exterior services use specialized acrylic or oil-based coatings designed to adhere to wood, brick, or stucco and resist moisture. These professional products cost more than craft supplies, but they provide the durability your home needs. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Summer offers the best conditions for drying, but extreme heat can be an issue. If it’s too hot, paint might dry too quickly, which keeps it from bonding to the surface. We often schedule painting for earlier in the day to avoid the peak afternoon sun and keep the finish looking smooth.

How do licensed pros prepare my house for painting?

Preparation is key. It involves thorough cleaning of the exterior surfaces to remove dirt, grime, and mildew. We then scrape away any loose or peeling paint. Sanding is done to smooth rough areas, and any cracks or gaps are caulked. Finally, primer is applied to ensure proper adhesion of the new paint. This meticulous process guarantees a superior finish.

Can I get a quote for painting just a portion of my house?

Yes, you can. We offer quotes for partial exterior painting if that's what you need. Whether it's just the trim, a specific section, or a particular color change, our licensed pros can assess the work. They'll provide a quote tailored to your specific project requirements. Just let us know what you're looking for.

What's the difference between primer and paint?

Primer is a preparatory coating applied before the topcoat of paint. Its main functions are to seal porous surfaces, block stains, and provide a uniform base for the paint to adhere to. Paint is the final color coat that provides protection and aesthetic appeal. Using both ensures a durable and vibrant finish.

How much do painters charge to paint a 2000 square foot house?
