How much will it cost to paint the exterior of my home?

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO PAINT THE EXTERIOR OF MY HOME?

How much will it cost to paint the exterior of my home is a question we receive all the time and it’s a great one.
It seems there is a mystery to pricing exterior painting work so what does everyone do? they open up Google search and call a few painting companies that pop up and hopefully one actually calls you back. That is a discussion for another time.
Once you get someone to call you back they all come out and do a dance around the home and tell you how great they are, they are using the best products, will put two coats on and whatever else they think will make you love them.
Guys, I am here to tell you everyone applies the paint the same way, uses the same stores, some are real insured companies with employees and others subcontract some or all of their work.
The difference that sets us apart is no one trains their painters like us, NO ONE! There are no apples to apples, from the support you will receive on the job to the communication from the office there is no comparison and we believe that.
So back to how much will my home cost. There are many factors that go into that question such as.
  • How much preparation does the home need?
  • When was the last time it was painted?
  • What type of heights are involved?
  • What is the timeframe for this work to be completed?
  • Are lead-based paints involved?
  • What colors are being used and is there priming involved
After these questions are answered and we discuss your expectations for your project AND we discuss your budget which is very important we can come to a professional summary for your proposal and prescribe the correct scope of work for the project.
On the home in this picture which is an actual home we did, I met with the homeowner to discuss his project, it was a new home for his family and wanted a color change. We went over how we would complete this project, we hit it off right away and he felt comfortable using us. For me this is where all the other estimates mean nothing, we were in his budget, we hit it off and our scope of work is everything needed. JOB SOLD: The house we completed would cost in this scenario around $3750-$4200 to paint it professionally.
