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
These are small containers of paint used to test colors on your actual walls before committing to a full project. You need these because lighting and surrounding colors can significantly change how a shade looks on your home compared to the tiny color chip. Testing samples helps prevent costly mistakes by ensuring you are happy with the finish. Costs for samples are typically nominal. 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.
Frequently asked in Savannah
What is 'gouache paint' and is it suitable for exterior house painting?
Gouache paint is a water-based paint that is opaque and matte, similar to watercolor but with more pigment. It is not typically used for exterior house painting because it is not as durable or weather-resistant as specialized exterior paints. Exterior paints need to withstand UV rays, moisture, and temperature fluctuations, which gouache is not designed to do. For Savannah's climate, using high-quality acrylic latex exterior paints is essential for longevity and protection.
Can 'body paint' be used on the exterior of a house?
No, body paint, which is designed for application on skin for artistic or theatrical purposes, is completely unsuitable for exterior house painting. It lacks the necessary durability, weather resistance, and protective qualities required for a home's exterior. Exterior house paints are specifically formulated with binders and pigments to withstand sun, rain, and temperature changes, offering long-term protection. Using body paint would result in rapid fading, peeling, and damage to the underlying surface.

Is 'face paint' appropriate for exterior house painting?
No, face paint is designed for temporary application on skin and is not suitable for exterior house painting. It lacks the durability, weather resistance, and protective qualities needed to withstand Savannah's climate. Exterior house paints are specially formulated with robust binders and pigments to protect surfaces from UV radiation, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. Using face paint on a house would lead to rapid fading, peeling, and damage, requiring frequent reapplication and costly repairs.
What are the considerations for 'watercolor painting' on exterior surfaces?
Watercolor painting relies on translucent pigments and water, making it unsuitable for exterior house painting. Watercolor paints are not designed to withstand UV exposure, moisture, or temperature changes, and would quickly fade and wash away. For exterior surfaces in Savannah, durable, weather-resistant paints like high-quality acrylic latex are essential. These paints offer protection against the elements and a long-lasting finish. The professionals focus on using coatings that preserve and protect your home's structure.
