Exterior Painting FAQ

How much does exterior house painting cost?

Most projects range between $5 to $10 per square foot, depending on surface type, prep work, materials, and local rates. In some situations that require excessive preparation, dangerous heights or detailed work, the costs can be higher. That’s why it’s important to alway gather 2-3 quotes from local painters. Trusted House Painter can help you gather 3 quotes fast by creating a free listing of your project. 

Do painters repair damage before painting?

Yes, most Trusted House Painter professionals can handle minor exterior repairs such as stucco and wood repairs before starting the painting process.

Can you paint in rainy or cold weather?

Not usually, exterior painting requires dry conditions and certain temperature thresholds. The secret to a lasting coating on any surface is allowing the paint to fully cure. Our painters schedule jobs based on the ideal forecast.

What are the benefits of repainting my exterior?

  • Increases the value of your home or business
  • Protects against moisture, UV rays, and pests
  • Prevents wood rot and material decay
  • Freshens your home’s look and energy

How should I prepare before painters arrive?

Trusted House Painter recommends taking time to move sentimental or easily-damaged items away from the areas of painting prior to the painters arrival. Move outdoor furniture and plants away from walls, and trim bushes or trees near painted surfaces. Painters may assist with additional prep guidance.

How often should I repaint my home’s exterior?

Depending on many factors like humidity, direct sunlight and use of surface, it’s common to have a paint job that lasts 5–10 years. But again, it totally depends on your climate, surface material, and paint type.
